I try not to complain, since I'm just so happy that I'm pregnant. I remember thinking last year that all I wanted was to be pregnant, so I wouldn't complain no matter what, if I was ever fortunate to have another baby. If we are being honest here though, the facts are that it's painful to roll over in bed at night and to walk after I've been sitting for a while. There's a heavy pressure down there that makes me waddle. And I've thrown up in my mouth a few times too due to heartburn issues. Good times.
Not the most flattering first-thing-in-the-morning pic, but you get the idea.
Oh, and the swelling has begun!...
This week, David ordered both a backpack and beanie with her name on it, as well as a big brother gift for Nico that we can give to him at the hospital from his new baby sister! I also booked a newborn photographer that will be coming out to the house within the first week or so of her birth. We're running out of things on our to-do list over here!
Miley doesn't leave my side these days and prefers to be right by my belly. When Natalie kicks, she looks up at me. I wonder what she's thinking.
One cool moment these days (yet also very uncool depending on the time in the morning) is when Nico comes down to our bed. This morning, he didn't come in until 7, so that was 2 thumbs up! He is so extra cuddly these days and just wants to be close to us. He got right in the middle and passed out for another hour this morning. I've been trying to memorize these moments in my mind as I'm aware that they will pass all too soon.
He's been ALL about ME lately. I'm sure he can sense the upcoming changes and has some insecurity about it all. He seems to be extra sensitive about when I'm going to work and when I'm going to be home. Then, the second that I'm home, he's glued to my side. "Mommy, let's play baseball." "Mommy, let's go play in the PAYroom." (Nope, we still don't correct him on how to say playroom.) "Mommy, you're the best mommy in the whole wide world." He's so loving and full of so many spontaneous "I love you's" every day. One of his best qualities is his huge heart.
I've been feeling the mom guilt lately though. It's a tug of war between getting some rest and soaking every moment in with him as our only child. I hope he can make a smooth adjustment to all of this and doesn't feel any less loved!
He has moved his work table into the office to work some when I work now.
This past Monday night, he requested a snow cone run followed by stopping at grandma and grandpa's to play baseball in the backyard. He got himself fully dressed for the occasion. He's a goofball.
