Are We There Yet?

Good evening, sweet pea! 

On Saturday, we hit DOUBLE DIGITS!  Your daddy and I celebrated.  We went to Tony's in Gastonia.  We were going to play Putt-Putt but it got too cold, so we went and walked around Target then went to Krispy Kreme.  Yum!

Tonight, we are at 96 days and counting. That's only like THREE MONTHS!!! Some days it seems like so far away!  Other days, I feel like it is right around the corner. 

I am hitting the uncomfortable stage.  It hurts to sit, hurts to stand, hurts to stay still, hurts to move.  Walking helps me not get sick though, so your daddy and I have tried to walk around somewhere every night if we are out.  Some times it helps, other times it doesn't.  Still sick almost every day....not as often in the morning, but a lot during the day and especially evening and night time.   I wish I knew what could make it stop.  I now have busted blood vessels on the skin around my eyes, caused by the strain of throwing up.  You always seem to get really worn out after wards, too.  I'm sorry, baby girl!  The doctor's still just say I am one of the 3% who will be sick the whole time...but maybe when they see my eyes, they will try something else! 

On a positive note, I was given permission to take Prilosec for the heartburn and acid reflux!  It has done WONDERS!!!  Makes my life so much more enjoyable during the day!

You are on the move!  You are obviously getting bigger.  Even though I still feel like you are in the breech position, I can feel you more up higher.  And sometimes it is more rolls and tumbles and kicks.  They're precious!  You are definitely stubborn though!  I don't know who you get that from more...your daddy or me?  You always kick on demand!  Always!  If he starts talking to you, you'll kick.  The other day, we wanted Aunt Shannon to feel you.  We tried and tried.  You would not budge...not even a little flutter the whole day!  As soon as we get in the car to come back to Charlotte, you were kicking up a storm....I don't think you have stopped since.  Ooooh, you definitely already rule this roost! 

Tonight we went and picked up MY baby dress from my parents.  This was the dress I wore home from the hospital 25 YEARS AGO!  It has discolored a little over the years.  We will get you a dress, but I definitely am excited you will at least be able to have a picture or two taken in this dress.  I'm really excited about it! 

We go back to the doctor on Thursday for a blood pressure and protein in urine check up!  At that time we will decide whether it is preeclampsyia, if I just need medication to control my blood pressure, any restrictions that need to be placed, or who knows what.  Don't you worry, baby girl, I have tons of people praying for us both!  We WILL be fine, no matter what!  

Love you and sweet dreams, love bug!
