One day at a time: April 2010

I am so loving being pregnant and getting sad that it will end soon. It was the same way with DS. Loved being pregnant from day 1. I am lucky that I do not get bad nausea/MS like some people get. This time the nausea was a tad more than last time, but nothing terrible and it went away after 1st trimester. I just love being pregnant. This is quite possibly our last pregnancy and I want to savor every last moment. In the third trimester, almost in my last month now and I still love it. I have some discomfort like slight restlessness in legs at night, insomnia, hot flashes, but the good far outweighs these minor inconveniences. I love the special connection with the baby, the movements, love that she is in her little resting place all mine. I love providing her that safe environment to grow. I love that I know her routine, I feel her every hiccup. I love watching my belly move and knowing that it is her doing that is just amazing.

At the same time, I can't wait for the baby to arrive. I find myself day dreaming about my baby girl. Nursing, carrying her in a sling, going on walks, just hanging out around the house. So looking forward to all that. This time we do have a little idea of what to expect so feeling prepared helps too. It is not a big unknown like the first baby. We've been through it all, and are ready to do it again.

DH hung the paper lanterns in the nursery. He also assembled the glider and it is ready to go. Oh, so comfy! I got a good deal on a quality Shermag that is just great. Can't wait to use it for nursing and rocking my little one to sleep. Bit by bit my dream nursery is coming together. It is exactly how I imagined it to be.
