I had another check up today, and all went well. I gained 9 lbs from my last visit, which was a bit of a shock to me. I now weigh 127. Josiah had a good growth spurt, and is taking up lots of space in my tummy. His heartbeat was 139. Now I can not only feel him kick, but I can see him as well. Today was also the first day that someone else actually seen him kick, congrats Chrissy for being the first to see it! ;)
Over the weekend I spent a few hours sorting and separating clothes I've saved from Bubba and some my sister gave to me. It was a LOT of work, but I feel so blessed to not have to worry about buying much for this baby. For probably the first time ever, I'm prepared early and have nothing to "get done"...well, except buying a car seat. It is a great feeling.
I've also been struggling to find adequate joy in this pregnancy while remaining sensitive to those around me who are longing for children. I'm not exactly sure how that looks. I've read lots of blogs on it, and try my best, but it is difficult.
Friday I get to meet my brother and his family. Words can't express how excited I am!! I've talked to him a lot over the phone, but finally getting to meet him, my sister in law, and 2 beautiful nieces is SO exciting!
And, I have a 3-d ultrasound scheduled for the 21st of this month. Truthfully, I don't prefer to have one...I'd prefer to wait and see what my little munchkin looks like when he comes out. But, I had told Kaylee she could come to my last ultrasound to find out the sex before I knew they didn't allow children, so I thought this would be a fun way to make up for my mistake. I'm sure I'll post pictures afterward.
