It's almost hard to imagine that in a few short weeks/months we will have babies and start the journey again. The focus has been on being pregnant and now is shifting to making life easier with a newborn.
My 10 year old sleeps with me and doesn't want to give up her place. My room is the coolest and my bed the most comfortable so everyone ends up here.. But with a new baby things will be a changing.
Having a newborn in another room was always harder on me. It was easier for those night feedings to have baby close with me. bassinet or co-sleeper. I think it's time to really get one.
I finally had what I think were BH today. They were much lower than I remember in the past. These were like menstrual cramps low. And baby did some wierd rolling inside that made me bend over in pain a couple of times. I can now feel how big he is getting. I guess that is good news as long as it's not too big.
Tomorrow I see the OB and find out my GTT test results.
Kind of nervously wanting to get things in place especially since it's the holidays. Trying to remember all the things that made life easier with a newborn. It's been a while. The other night I had a headache and was so tired but restless and got up alot, in the morning I was exhausted. I remember thinking. I hope I am not this tired when baby comes. It was so hard. But I will have time off and I am going to be having some help. The doula also doubles to help the first couple of weeks if needed. That way I don't feel so alone since everyone else will be working. Just knowing I have some support makes me feel better.
