Love it!

I love the comment on the ticker this week - "If someone asks my mommy "how are you feeling?" one more time, she's going to drop kick them to New Jersey!" That's mean, I know. I don't mean to be... but when you're asked a question a bajillion times a day - usually by the same people that asked you the same question yesterday, and the day before and the day before and the day before... you're bound to want to hear them say something different instead of looking at you with a panicked/concerned look when there is no need to. I don't mind if it comes from someone I see once a week or something. But if you're one of those people - and if you really want to know how I'm feeling - you will most likely have to dig deeper. Because my response will probably be "Fine, how are you?" with the assumption that you probably don't care that my baby girl seems to love to have her head or something large and heavy roll over my bladder and intestines several times a day, I wake up four to five times a night and my hands keep falling asleep. Then again, I shouldn't make that assumption for those of you who read this blog - because you ARE the ones that care! :) So you guys don't count. You can ask me how I feel. Just be ready for the truth.

Her movements have been a little uncomfortable last night and this morning. I am sure that will become a much more regular thing as she gets heavier. At this point, I am fine with that (I may have a different attitude in two months!). Every time she does something that makes me a little uncomfortable, I am reminded that she is already her own unique and beautiful little person - God's little miracle that He is forming for us. I have no control over her movements, her kicks, her rolls, her sleeping pattern, her curiosity - that is all part of her individual personality. How can I complain about that? I will try to remember that as the next few months pass, although I may need a reminder here and there...

I don't miss the waking up several times a night! My reasons were for having a small bladder and I would seriously have to go to the restroom like every half hour to and hour at the longest! It was horrible. lol The aching ribs, I remember that all too well! :( That is not fun. At least the end result is well worth all the uncomfortableness (is that even a word?) You know what I mean!
Take Care!

Well, you know what's great about reading this blog? I don't HAVE to ask you how you feel because you're doing a great job informing us in your blog, lol! :) Just kidding. Of course I want to know how you are feeling and the blog really helps. It's so nice to be able to read what's going on in your life. Having said that, because everyting naturally revolves around your pregnancy right now, I am really curious how you are feeling, not physically but emotionally/spiritually. How is Steffani doing? Just Steffani, not the mom-to-be.
There is a chance we're coming in March, of course we would also have to visit the three of you. I'm so looking forward to catch up and chat with you guys. We love you and hope to see you soon!
