I am 30 weeks today! Wow! The time has flown by so quickly. I can still remember laying in bed those first few weeks going back and forth between the bathroom and my bed and thinking "What is wrong!?" I soon found out that these frequent visits to the bathroom would really turn out to be the most amazing news of my life. I was expecting! The first 12 weeks, were, not as fun as at the middle of pregnancy. By then, I was full at life, enjoying watching my belly grow, and still having energy to do the things I wanted to do. The third trimester, so far, as been good as well. I do feel a bit more tired, and I have a strict bedtime, but I still have the energy to keep up with 25 seven-year-olds day in and day out. My diet still consists primarily of red potatoes with ketchup, raisin bagels with jelly, salad, yogurt, and fudge pops. My little guy (or girl) wiggles, kicks, and moves around so much! I absolutely love laying in bed before I fall asleep and watching the baby move side to side and up and down. Watching little legs or arms poke out this way and that. I love it even more when Mitch comes up and puts his head down on my stomach to feel the baby move inside of me. It's the first of the many incredibly feelings that are yet to come.
With all that being said, I have been incredibly emotional these past few weeks. I go from being totally obsessed with the baby and can't stop thinking and dreaming about him or her, to crying because of the baby. With the impending time-line approaching I can't help but to think how much our lives will change with this new arrival. I love my life now, with Mitch, and I couldn't be happier in my marriage with him. And no, I'm not just saying that. We really do have something special. I don't want that to change. I feel cheated that my time with him was so short and now we will have to share our time with someone else...for the next 18 years! I'm sure what I'm feeling is completely normal, but I feel guilty for feeling this way. I just am worried about how things will change. One thing I do know...husband and wife time will remain an important factor in our marriage and is vital in keeping it healthy and strong. Babysitters are welcome!
I pray for these next 10 weeks that the baby will stay healthy and that the delivery and birth goes well:)
