So new stuff going on...
My 30th birthday was great, Jan and Trista surprised me with a "lemonaide" themed party. They had The Parthenon cater in. The weather was amazing considering it was in the middle of July. I was in bed by 10 with a belly full of cake, and new memories made.
Well our Dr appts are more frequent and all has been good. No diabetes, and we are right on track with growth (both of us!!!) The only concern is he is still breech, but we aren't worried about this too much right now.
I haven't been able to sleep as good as before. I can't get comfortable, and when I do I have dreams about things even Freud couldn't explain. Micheal Jackson trying to hunt me down, all the way to meeting art buyers fighting for George Clooney's fine collection. That doesn't even scratch the surface! What will life be like after all this "weirdness" subsides? Will I be so consumed with analyzing baby poo that I wont remember life pre baby?
I worry I am going to miss him being in my belly. I never thought I'd get real ooey gooey, but I have sold out. I love the reminders of his presence. I want to nick name him "boots". He does these waves across my stomach and often lands with a large boot to my side. Morgan gets to see and feel him move now. Jan puts a remote on my belly and it moves with his movements. Soon I swear he will be kicking my clients on the table during massages!
We have all our classes set up for the next few months. A siblings class for Morgan, and some infant first aid, and CPR. I am starting to feel the pressure to make sure things are good to go.
We have 9 weeks left. I am split on how fast it is going. As I said earlier, I am attached to my buddha belly. He is so easy to take everywhere... and I don't have to do much to make him happy. I know when it gets closer I will be ready. I think that is God's plan... to make us very uncomfortable towards the end so we are ready to meet our children, and not hold them hostage in our belly's forever.
This part of summer is a bit trying. I do hope this fall is nice and I will be able to enjoy the outdoors more before hibernating for the winter with my new family. It is hard being cooped up inside when Jan is working outdoors on the yard or the cars..
Speaking of cars, Jan and I made a big decision (yes Jan had a say so!). We traded in his big beast of a diesel for a new(er) Tahoe. Since he was just commuting in the pickup we decided to get something that functioned for the whole family. Hey at least it wasn't a minivan!! This way we can still pull things behind it, and have our whole family fit (don't forget the frogs (dogs)) We felt a little worried about our decision until we saw the ear to ear grin on Morgans face the first time she sat in the way back. She is in love. Jan is adjusting to not having his work truck anymore. He has came to accept that his pickup was getting a little tired, and has served its purpose. I guess we all are making sacrifices!
Here comes Husker season! We have an open invite for all to come celebrate at our home during the games... considering mamma wont fit into the tiny seats at Memorial Stadium!! We have our big screen down stairs and I even offer up my half of the booze.. but hey I will toast a drink with you come winter! Go Huskers!!!!
