This past Friday I had a check-up for Baby D. Mom is measuring right on target still and Dr Conner is very happy with my weight gain (as am I!) and sorry but no, I am not going to disclose that piece of information :) Heartbeat continues to stay around low 140's and she loves to show off just how strong she is by kicking the Doppler no matter where it goes. I am feeling MORE and MORE movement from her every week it seems. As a former dancer as a child for 7 years I have decided to dub her my "Ballerina Girl" as the movement is constant, strong and if you could see inside I bet you would see her practicing pirouettes and leaps abound in there! I am always thinking of how neat it would be to have a camera that could view inside and capture those precious first movements.......
I am still having quite a but of pelvic/pubic bone pain. Physical Therapy has helped some, but if you've ever been you know how costly and time consuming it is, so I am putting that on hold for now. They have had me purchase an SI Joint Lock Belt to help hold those joints together and allow for some support as my body does not seem able to support itself. However I can not complain as I have been blessed with this opportunity to have another child (and a girl at that!) and I know the end result will be SOOOOOO worth it!
Tyler has been getting over quite the virus that seems to be going around. Three days of a fever that I did EVERYTHING I know to do and could not break it! So lovely couple days off work and 5 day at home snuggling with my Monkey, he is more attached to me now than ever. Oh well! He is UBER excited about his baby sister and constantly hugging my belly, so maybe when she graces us with her presence he continue to hug "her" and not by belly - lol!
Meanwhile, Allen is getting to work on his car for racing season - he's got a pretty good head start and looking forward to see the new paint job he has in mind this year! Tyler has been so excited and just literally longing to pop rivet that body on for Daddy! In addition to prep for racing season he will be a big help in prepping for Baby D as he FINALLY finishes off the basement - woot woot! I am so thankful for him and all he has done to at least try and understand what I'm going thru (and supportive even if he doesn't!) and have full confidence that he will work splickity fast to get basement done in time. Three things I look forward to: Double sinks in the bathroom, bigger room, and doing laundry on one level!
