Baby Appointment

So we had a baby appointment today, the appointment went well it was the same as usual. They get the heartbeat and measure my belly. I was really nauseous this morning so my doctor gave me a prescription for something that will help with the nausea that's been plaguing me the past couple weeks.  Its usually just in the morning, but it being combined with light headed-ness, getting overheated too easy, and my little man's squirming around in there, it can be a little overwhelming. Seems that my first trimester goodies are back for their final round, only this time my little man doesn't sit still and makes things a million times worse when mommy doesn't feel so good. LOL But I'll love him anyways :P

Can't help myself I know he's going to be a cutie. This is getting off topic a bit, and I'll go back to the rest of our baby appointment in a sec, but I had a dream with a sweet little strawberry blonde haired baby boy in it. He was so little and adorable, and it has me really excited to meet my little guy :)

Anywho, so after our initial appointment we went and did our pre-admissions paperwork for the hospital. So that way they wouldn't try getting me to stop and fill out paperwork whilst being in labor lol. After that we went up to the birthing center and we got to see the birthing room. They didn't have any recovery rooms to show us as they were all full, but the lady said they are very similar just without the monitors and such. The rooms are so cozy, it doesn't really feel like a hospital, which is nice. It's got what looks like wood floors, and lower lighting, so you don't have that sterile feeling. The babies get to room in with you, since their isn't a nursery, which is perfectly fine with me. I'll need to have him close by to give him a booby when he's hungry anyways.

It's really starting to come close, we've got less than 2 months now. It's so crazy to think that in less than 2 months my baby is finally going to be here, and I'll get to hold him. I am really done with being pregnant, I'm just ready to be a mommy. Being pregnant is exhausting, and I sure am glad we don't have to carry babies for longer than 9 months. Any longer and I might lose it. Being uncomfortable all the time is just not awesome. I would much rather be fine myself (tired is okay, I can handle tired), and have a crying infant, than be incredibly uncomfortable no matter what I do.

Don't get me wrong, pregnancy is magical like they say, but it's really only magical in the 2nd trimester when you're full of energy and you're not huge yet. The first trimester sucked because of morning sickness and being constantly exhausted. And the third trimester sucks because there's morning sickness, exhaustion, and on top of that you're huge.

It makes me giggle though, all the squirming my baby does. In the morning he does lots of stretching, and he'll pull my belly in all sorts of directions. It's like him saying "come on mom, get up I'm hungry". Then in the afternoon he does lots of kicking and rolling around, he especially loves to get hiccups which make me giggle.  Then in the evening he usually settles down a bit, might take a nap what ever. And then right before I get into bed he's back to stretching and rolling around, kind of like a cat will kneed and turn in circles till they get they're little bed perfect for laying down. I feel like that's what he does, he tosses and turns and kicks and stretches until he finds that perfect spot, and then he settles down to sleep.

I already know he's going to be wonderful, he probably will be just like his dad though when it comes to being unable to sit still very long. The way he moves constantly in my womb already hints at that. But it's going to be a wonderful adventure and I am super ready for this next chapter in my life. :)
