Just recently, Paul has started to kiss and rub my belly. The first time he kissed my belly, I asked him if he was giving our baby a kiss. He smiled and nodded his head. Belly rubs have become a nightly routine too. I really don't mind at all because it just shows me how much he wants this baby and to be a father. I'm tearing up just thinking about it. I really really love my husband more than words can express. Our communication is through the roof with amazingness. We talk a lot and bond so much. It has been wonderful waking up next to him and having long conversations before he goes to work, no distractions...just us talking. It's a routine now. This is the best time of our lives!! My husband is my absolute best friend and I just adore him.
Other exciting things: We should find out the sex tomorrow!! But you already knew that :-) Also, we are getting a rental car tomorrow that State Farm is paying for while my car is in the shop. It will be super nice having another car, because this one car stuff...ain't for me. Especially with Paul's schedule. I like to get out and I can't with Paul having his car at work. Tomorrow is going to be a really busy day up until after my appointment. I'm not nervous because I know that it will either be a boy or a girl. lol! Just excited! It has been 3 weeks since my last appointment. They flew by!! Except for last week. It went in slow motion. Oh! Other exciting things...
My Mom is definitely coming for our baby's birth (duh!) and she and my sister and who ever else will be here for a while with us in our new 3 bedroom house! Then Paul's Mom comes on July 25th soon after Mom leaves. I will have PLENTY of help adjusting to new baby life and motherhood. And my Mom assures me that she will help in whatever way she can, and if there's something we need that we don't have for the baby she will help us get it! We'll be fine, though. Plenty of money on this end for the baby. It's what we have been planning for since marriage :-) They are planning on buying our pack n play for us! HUGE help. Then...after Paul's Mom leaves, Paul's Dad will be visiting us for a little while. How much fun. There won't be much alone *little* family time. I'm fine with that. I'll have plenty of help with cooking, cleaning and baby care. I'm gonna love having all family visit!
Anyways, this has been a fairly long blog post. Lots to get out and share. Woohoo!!!
I'm so jealous with you right now. Matthew talked to Elijah when he was in the womb, and rubbed the belly and kissed him, and such but now things are different, I don't know if it's because of all the things that have happened recently or if it's all the stress we are both under but things are different. I'm really miss the old us. Not that I don't love Elijah, I love him so much! But, I miss the pregnant me, which I can't believe I am saying this, because I rememeber hating being pregnant, and ready for the baby to come. Enjoy your pregnancy, and all the great little things about it! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm a firm believer that people always think grass is greener on the other side. I'm guilty of this as well! I am just trying to enjoy everything right now because I know it changes drastically after the baby comes. But what I would say to you is there WILL be a time that you will miss Elijah being an infant, so treasure all those precious little moments that you have now. They grow so fast and there's no time for sitting and wishing life away. I love you, Mands! And I'm praying for you!
