It drives me NUTS when the picture frame is tilted in the picture and the photographer doesn't say anything!! Rant over. I'm very grateful for my photographer and fruit drawer.
New this week: I got kicked in the ribs the first time this week. I've heard this hurts, it wasn't necessarily painful, but similar to the sensation of someone pushing a painful bruise. It will definitely stop you in your tracks. Perhaps it gets more painful as she gets bigger, but most of her kicks are off to the side of my belly.
I've had a very strong, and what I'm assuming, instinctual realization this week. With only 12 weeks left until our Lil Princess makes her grand entrance, I have this sudden fear of her not being protected by the safety of my belly. With her being in my belly, I know where she's at and what she's doing at all times. I have complete control of her safety and full protection over her. Once she comes into this world, while I can still protect her and care for her, I lose so much control over her safety. I guess this is just the first step in the very scary adventure of parenthood.
Special moment: Aside from completing our Childbirth Class (which I'll write about separately), Kevin and I looked through my Baby Book together.
I know the Pediatrician we chose for Baby P was my doctor growing up, but I didn't know he was legitimately the doctor my parents chose for me at birth. Pretty Cool.
I'm so happy my mom did a Baby Book and makes me wonder if having this blog will be as special for Baby P as the baby book was to me. Or should I plan to do a baby scrapbook. We shall see.
Pain: Aside from my persistent back pain, I've had some sciatica pain this week. I went out to walk earlier today and had to turn around because I could barely stand. It's still been radiating through my butt/hip all day today, and there hasn't been much to alleviate it. I'll be trying the heating pad tonight.
Sleep: I actually got a couple of good nights' sleep this week. But to supplement, another couple not so good. I think I've finally trained by brain to just give up on the tossing and turning and stay on its left side.
Exercise: Not being able to jog is making me go a bit crazy. I. NEED. TO JOG. ugh. Sure I've found alternative routes to expend some energy, but it's not the same.
Looking forward to: Getting the nursery painted!! I never thought it would happen, but we decided on a color. This was a biggie. We've had countless paint swatches taped to her wall for the last SEVERAL months. It came down to 2 and finally 1 today after getting a couple samples. I will surely share as soon as it is completed!
