BABY MOVES NON-STOP, MOMMY NOT SO MUCH
posted on 03/13/2008
So it stinks that I have so much energy in the 3rd trimester, and I cannot use any of it! I'm still getting to go to work 2 days a week, but I can feel him so low on those days. That is actually a good thing b/c it reminds me to behave the rest of the week. Otherwise, Baby Watson seems very happy in there. He is more active than ever lately, which is fun for us. Little knees and elbows poke out at us and we poke back. My stomach is so tight and I don't see how he has much room. Bryce is showing concern that Tyler doesn't seem to sleep much. No matter what time I wake up at night, for those frequent restroom trips, he is moving all around. And when I say move, I mean my body jolts. Then I have such a hard time falling back to sleep b/c I love feeling him move around and trying to figure out what little body parts are where. Or worse, I will wake up on my back and the paranoia takes over that the vena cava vein is blocked now and he has no blood. Of course this is when he doesn't want to play and I lay and wait to feel a movement for what seems like an hour. I don't know how I have all of this energy when I'm barely sleeping. I hope that lasts through the 1st year! We did go to another Hypno-birth class on Saturday. The therapist said I was doing great and going really deep into the relaxation, so I should breeze through my labor. Always good to hear! We have one last class in April. I also signed us up for an infant CPR class in June, and a breastfeeding class for me in a few weeks. I just feel like I can never know enough and honestly the breastfeeding doesn't seem as simple as it sounded before I read into it. I still have a 6 month goal for it though.
Well keeps us in your prayers for a good Dr. appt on Monday, permanent bedrest could be in my future if she doesn't like what she sees.
