So this morning I had my weekly visit.  Everything is going as scheduled.   37 weeks is considered full term…and it was pretty much made clear that I could have her any time now.  How exciting!  He said I will see you back next week……………or maybe not!  This, for some reason, really calms me.  I[…]

The baby’s room is now complete.  I have finished washing all the linens and clothes and put everything away, all nice and organized.  I redid her closet and changing table and set out the items that I know we will be using.  I packed her part of the hospital back.  I included a receiving blanket[…]

I have been working in the baby’s room the last few days.  Honestly, all I wanted to do was wash all the clothes, bedding and bathing items.  It took almost four loads…and I still haven’t gotten it all put properly away.  What a chore….my back hurts so bad.  I love looking at all the tiny[…]

The visit to the doctor was a bit nerve racking but ended nicely.  We went through the normal checks.  He performed the test that was needed.  Checked my swelling etc.  It was decided that I should not return to work ((this , I find both frightening and a relief) ) and stay off my feet[…]

So my little Tari is making me extremely uncomfortable these days.  I have no idea what happened the other night.  The movements were hurting…and then my side and back hurt all night……it was as if she had wadded herself up in my side or something. I think she may have changed positions…..because what I feel[…]

Yesterday was a busy day.  I got up and went to a breast feeding class and was there about 2 hours.  While I was at the class I noticed some pain in my side.  I figured that the pain was just the baby in a weird position putting pressure on me.  I have felt this[…]

I am becoming very impatient as the day draws nearer that she will join us.  I do not want to wish the experience away by any means because it will be one of the most special and pivotal moments of my life.  I simply tire of being worried and sick.  The latest symptoms are daily[…]

Lots has happened since the previous update.  I am now past the point of which my first daughter is born.  This is a huge relief.   She came into the world when I was 26 weeks.  ((so I actually have a basis of comparison when I imagine my baby in there!)   Now I am[…]

…has arrived.  My anxieties mount as I near 26 weeks.  Marley was born at 26 weeks.  With complications and such from prior pregnancies I have such worries.  Somehow I just KNOW things are going to be perfect.  I seem to have senses about certain things.  This baby is very important and so I still doubt[…]

Well I am officially half way there.  I have been feeling movement for awhile now internally.  This morning for the first time I felt it externally.  She was moving quite a bit.   spyDaddy came upstairs and I told him that he had missed out.  He placed his hand on my belly and a few minutes[…]
