Week 28

The time is passing by so fast. Chaim will be here in just a little over 11 weeks. There is so much to do and so little time. I pray for wisdom and ways to keep my sanity. Things are going well. There have been a few bumps in the road (i.e. the fact that my sinuses and allergies just won't give me a break) but other than that I've had such a great pregnancy. Our little one is growing every day. He is more active and alert and very sensitive to the world around him. I've started feeling him roll completely across my stomach as he tries to find a comfortable position. He is very atune to my moods and if he feels I'm getting to upset I get a little kick now and again. He already has such a personality! It's a struggle to get the nursery finished and so many responsibilities and committments keep popping up but I know that the time will be provided. My mom is coming in town this weekend and it will be nice to spend some time with her. I'm wondering how much longer I will have to continue to go into the office as everytime I go in I get sick. Jason thinks it's more allergies than illness so I wonder if I can truly say I'm allergic to work! Hahaha! At any rate, I have truly enjoyed this experience and hope to have about 3 more. I'm seven months now and loving it but I'm sure by the end of my eighth month I'll be ready for him to be born. All I can say is I passed the glucose test and my blood pressure is in check and there are no other problems so Baruch Hashem! I am very greatful for this little blessing and can't wait to see G-d's miracles in him.

Week 27

It's been a busy couple of weeks. Chaim is moving around a lot more lately. I've had a few nights where he decided he just wanted to stay up (and keep me up with him). Other than that, he's a pretty mellow baby. It's hard to believe he will be here in about 3 months or less. The pregnancy has gone by really fast. I had an episode a couple of weeks where my blood pressure spiked but so far it's been ok. I've been keeping an eye on it. Also, I have to go back for the 3 hour glucose test. Oh what fun. I guess I'll use the time to finish up som crochet projects. We are working on getting the nursery in order and that is a little difficult between Jason's classes, our work and temple responsibilities as well as trying to get stuff done around the house but we'll manage. It always works out. My mom is supposed to come the first weekend in March and help so I'm crossing my fingers that the major stuff (crown molding, carpet, etc) will be done and we can just do the fun stuff. Not much else for now I guess other than I'm very thankful that everything is going so well and we can't wait to meet our son. Baruch Hashem!

Week 25

So far so good. I got a cold somehow about two weeks ago and it's taken this long to get over all of it. Chaim is moving more each day. He decided to wake me up Friday moring around 2am and didn't let me go back to sleep until 4am, half an hour before my alarm went off for work. So needless to say I worked on very little sleep Friday. Oh well, I can only pray that it's a rare occurance. So far that's the only time he's done that. We are off today to shop for nursery stuff (new carpet, shelving, etc.) There is a lot to do around the house and so little time to do it now. I pray for the time to get everything done. We have to contact the moel soon and set up the bris. I'm really praying all goes well with that. Other than a few bumps everything is great. We see a new doctor on Wed and hopefully that will go smoothly as well. So now off to the store to spend money on someone who isn't quite here yet!
