I'm so sorry to all of you who rely on this blog to keep up to date on my progress! This bumpdate was written last week, but my camera cord took a trip to South Texas with Bobby and I had no way of getting pictures from my camera to my computer. Forgive me!
cravings: garlic and citrus, maybe I'm fighting a cold? Nothing that can't be fixed by some good spicy Zuppa Toscana and a ton of pineapple.
aversions: anything but simple carbs before 10 AM (will the morning sickness ever end??)
symptoms: the rib pain continues, and she's heads up again which doesn't help. The contractions actually got a little too regular for comfort at one point this week, luckily stopping on their own before any calls were made.
movement: She's all over the place and so big that each movement is felt and seen. She wiggles like crazy when Bobby reads to her.
fears: I felt such relief when her Moses Basket came in and she had a place to sleep if she came early. But it doesn't fit the stand so I'm back to square one. Sigh.
general mood: A bit lonely. Bobby had to leave town for work, so it's just me, the Bear, and the baby. But it has been a super productive time which feels so good.
sleep: When I'm out, I'm really in a deep sleep. It's interrupted with lots of bathroom breaks and rolling over to readjust my mile-wide hips, but I wake feeling rested which is what matters.
surprised by: How big and round my belly is now! My linea nigra is starting to peak through, too.
looking forward to: Our hospital tour this week and getting all those questions and curiosities answered. And Bobby getting home, I miss that guy.
best / worst moments: The best moment was starting our birthing classes. We are doing a Hypnobabies home-study, and I'm already feeling so much more at ease about the whole labor and delivery situation. The worst moment was being home by myself last night, in a tropical storm and flash flood warning, having steady contractions with Bobby three hours away. It wasn't anything too unusual for my body, but not having him there was a little scary.
bobby is: a little overwhelmed. He's got several big things going on at work until the end of the month and he feels as unprepared for V to get here as I do. Hopefully his mind will ease a bit by the insane amount of unpacking I've managed while he's been away!
nursery progress: Mostly painted, and super organized. There's still lots to do in there, but each step makes me more comfortable with bringing her home.
