just a little whine with the cheese
So, my ultrasound is set for Monday afternoon. Good good good. No, Amanda, I won't ask about gender but we do have a boy name and a girl name settled on - aren't you excited all to find out what they are? I'm excited to bestow the chosen name on this little bundle. I wonder if the names we have chosen will make it through the delivery room. ;)
I just have to have a post to vent for a bit. Overall, I've been feeling pretty good this pregnancy. I hope that you feel like I haven't been whining all the time, because I really shouldn't have been if I was. I have had nothing to whine about. The sickness was dealable because I'm working on making a baby and I just get sick when I'm prego. The twinging and ligament stretching and tightening that I have been having lately are all good because I truly hope that they are my body getting ready for labour and delivery. I haven't had any unbearable aches and pains, just minor discomforts as things get closer to the due date. I haven't had any major issues with sleeping and awkwardness, it's been alright... until last night.
I was awake between 4am and 6am, and awake pretty much every hour, unable or struggling to fall back to sleep. I got up to pee six times (a lot more than my usual one). I had bad dreams (one where someone was breaking into my house and I ran after him then he stabbed me in the prego belly with a big knife). Also, I bruised my foot somehow (and, for the record, it wasn't doing jumping jacks like my doctor recommended to get labour started?? because I didn't do them), and it hurts to stand and walk. Yes, I suppose that is a sign telling me to rest more because standing and walking hurt. Sitting and sewing are okay, as is reading or doing crosswords or Sudoku. Please tell me this is a sign that the end is near???
Okay, I love being pregnant and I feel like I carry it well and that I deal with it well. But, goodness me.... those of you who had pains all the time and couldn't sleep... I am FEELING your pain today. I am SO glad that I don't have anything to complain about as a pregger because that. every. night. would be terrible!
I'm done now. No more. Thanks for listening.

Do you think that maybe your sleepless night was because you were doing too much standing? I hope you are able to fit in your daily naps with all the great projects you have. And...please no baby until we get back from our little holiday!!!!!!!! No pressure, of course! You know my cell phone number (just in case)Take care, Elizabeth. I love you!
Liz, as far as I'm concerned you have gone through this pregnancy like a major trooper. You don't whine or complain. I'm very proud of you. I do agree with your mom about being too busy can create sleep disturbances. Take it easy my sweet and enjoy the last few days of your pregnancy. Have a great weekend. Love Frandma
You are doing GREAT!
Not much longer, it's so exciting!
I will be thinking and praying for you!
ok, first of all...that picture? Adorable!!! I really want to get a pic of my kids touching my belly, I guess I need to do that soon! lol. Secondly, I don't remember you complaining much at all! I have major aches and pains when I've been walking too much! Or sitting too long!! And I pee at least 3 times a night!! But this pregnancy has been way easier than my other two!
I agree that you never complain, you just tell it like it is! If pregnancy was all sunshine and roses all the time we'd never stop procreating, and we all do. I can't believe it's so near the end, I am going stir crazy trying to figure out what names you'd pick to go along with Hunter.....
I'm very curious about the names too. You're in my mind everyday. I hope this birth goes really well for you and I can't wait to see you with another adorable babe in your arms.
(You're going to have it while I'm in Savary aren't you?)
Love ya!

I hope your ultrasound goes well, and don't peak at that monitor!
