Hello! It has been a while hasn't it? busy, busy, busy! Well, I'm getting to the point where I can't even believe it's me looking back in the mirror! ha! I love my belly, but wow, it just keeps getting bigger! Joshua moves around all the time, and I simply love it. It makes me smile every single time. Jude has FINALLY felt the baby move! I don't know if I announced that in my last entry... but it's quite exciting! I really like to just sit on the couch and stare at my belly, and watch my stomach move around. Pretty amazing.
I can't believe I only have three months left of pregnancy! There is SO much I have to do! Jude and I have started to clean up our backyard, which really feels good. Come to find out, I just can't do as much as used to... duh! Planting flowers isn't as effortless as it once was, and although my 'belly belt' has come in handy, it still is not comfortable to be bent over digging in the dirt! Who knew? Jude also started the painting process, but there is still a ton more of that to do. Our life is consumed by the 5 year old living in our house, and so it's really hard to make time to do anything else. Especially because we seem to be exhausted most of the time.
Our Valentine's day was really nice! My mom and dad were kind enough to babysit overnight on the 15th, so that's when we celebrated. It was really, really nice to have the evening to ourselves again. And Jude is so sweet and romantic! He got me a really fancy ring to wear in lieu of my wedding ring, due to my fingers being swollen, and a beautiful diamond necklace! It was a really, REALLY nice night. It was a little hard on me, just because this was our last valentine's day without a baby... but not really. Again, I'm a whiner, but it was hard for me to get past that. It's almost a little embarrassing to say outloud, but I'm just tired of sacrificing things that are important to me. I know, big whiner right? :)
I'm in the middle of planning a Women's Retreat for our church. It's in two weeks, and that kind of scares me a little! I told Jude that the next time I have a bright idea to volunteer for something like this... to knock some sense into me! ha! I've made a lot of progress this week though, so that feels good. Last night I was able to sleep without waking up and my mind racing with all the things I have to get do. I hope all goes well!
With my growing belly, I become more and more uncomfortable... and I know, It will only get worse! My back aches pretty much all the time now, and sleeping ... is more like an idea... ha! The doctor told me to take tylenol to help my back ache, and to use those hot/cold pad things too. We had our doctor appointment last week, and my belly measures at 36cm, and his heart rate was at 140. All looks good! Before I go in for my next appointment, I have to get my gluclose test done. And then after my next appointment, I visit the doctor every two weeks instead of every month! Yikes! That means it's getting closer! I still need to contact St. Jude to pre-register and take lamaze classes... lots and lots to do! My doctor also gave me the green light to go on vacation in April! Jude and I plan to take our Babymoon to Monterey! So exciting! Our good friends will be coming with us too, so I'm really looking forward to it. I've figured out child care arrangements, because this is not something I'm willing to give up.
I know I suck about posting pictures, and I'm planning on doing that soon... hopefully! Don't hold your breath though ;)
I think that's all I have for now :)
