Not too much to update. Restless leg syndrome and pee breaks at night keep me up, but even with naps during the day I still get really tired. I am interested to find out if I am anemic at my appointment on Tuesday the 24th. Also I have my glucose test that day (I really hope I don't have gestational diabetes). Wish me luck! I hope I don't get sick from it! It's an early appointment (8am) so I will have to down that sucker at 7am! Yuck! Mornings are my worse for nausea, what was I thinking?!
I am meeting my doula on Monday! I have Laurel Lowe (a hynobirthing doula). I know with her and my husband helping me I will be able to stay calm and face anything that happens. I am glad I have a great support team! Plus, with her helping out, Daniel can take breaks and not (hopefully) wear himself out. Though I know he will be extremely involved through the whole experience of bringing our sweet boy into this world. He has been so loving and supportive during our whole journey. I have no words that can express my love for him.
Next weekend a friend is getting married and I am just so stoked for that!!! It is such a special moment when two people start their lives together! It has made me reflect back to when Daniel and I met as well as our whole marriage. I have no complaints, only love that increases every single day!
Daniel's brother and his wife had their baby on Father's Day (congrats you guys!) and that officially marks the end to the burst of babies born around the time of my second angel. It is healing that everyone has their babies. I will hold my two angels one day, it just isn't time for me to hold them, but Nathan will be in those aching arms in just a few months. I feel so incredibly blessed to be a mother of three souls.
I love feeling Nathan hiccup. I felt his hiccups in my bum yesterday haha. Now that is an odd feeling. He also likes to dig his feet into my right ribs (stretching) then kick them. Let's see if I can last without getting a bruised or broken rib. I also felt him hiccup and then move his head to a different location and continue his hiccups. It felt special knowing exactly where he was moving (though I am sure he wasn't too happy about his long hiccup burst). I tried taking a nap today and it was partially successful, but Nathan decided that was the perfect time to do some extreme monkeying around. There was one time I almost yelled at Daniel to stop shaking the bed at night, but then I realized it was Nathan that was shaking me! He is a strong one and that is absolutely perfect! I am very grateful that he is an active child. I feel like that has been one of the best blessings of this pregnancy--knowing that he is completely fine everyday. I have only had one or two days when he rested longer than normal and I got a little worried.
Still lots to do to prepare for his arrival, but we have three months left. Thanks to all those who have and will help with baby gear (we really, really appreciate it)!
