I've been having the hardest time appreciating pregnancy for what it is. Instead I've been concentrating on the negative, the not-so-pretty things that happen or could happen, throughout these amazing months. So I've decided to make it a point to stay focused on the positive. I know I'll look back and either not remember or laugh at all the things I've been so worried about. Pregnancy is wonderful, but it's funny how it's soooo not what I thought it would be.
Baby is doing fine and growing well from what I can tell. Still no progress on the name, I swear we'll never find something we both like. I've started an online registry, but when I went to babies r us the other night to check out infant car seats it made me want to scratch the online registry all together. There is everything at that store!! I feel like there is no sense in registering both places, so I think Ted and I will be going this weekend.
Sleep is rough.. I have to get up a couple times a night to go to the bathroom and any time I want to roll over I wake up. I look forward to being able to sleep on my tummy again, but for now a body pillow seems to help. My dreams are nuts too. I have really bizarre and vivid dreams. The other night I gave birth to a litter of kittens and I remember being totally heartbroken that I went through all that work and I couldn't keep them because of my allergies!
My next doctors appointment is Tuesday, I have to do a glucose test. Hopefully all goes well, I have no reason to think it won't. Our classes still don't start until the following Tuesday, but I'm really looking forward to them. I've been doing all kinds of reading and googling ways to deal with labor so I can stick to the natural birth plan. I may look into having a midwife deliver me. I still won't get to pick the actual midwife delivering because with Kaiser it's whoever is on call when I'm ready to go.. I'm totally facinated with labor right now. I want to prepare myself as best possible, especially because I don't want to use any medications. I'm scared silly, but know I can do it. Our bodies were made for this!! :) xoxo
