I'm having a good pregnant day

As all of you women who have been pregnant know, there are good pregnant days and bad ones. I've pretty much had bad ones all week where I've just been so fatigued that i haven't been able to lug myself out of pj's until about supper time. Maybe some of this is due to all the stress from moving.

Today though, I hope to be having a good pregnant day. I woke up this morning feeling refreshed after a late, cheap, random evening with my husband and i finally feel like getting some things done.

However, as much as i want to tackle the house it will have to wait a little longer until we can buy some nails to hang things on the walls. So, today, I will hunt around for some cheap Christmas decorations because being away from family for Thanks Giving is kind of bumming us both out, i thought we could cheer ourselves up.

I will also try to find some birthing classes available to take at the hospital, well because we need to do that. And try to make some connections with a few women that I've met since being out here (which i desperately really need to do before being alone drives me crazy)

Overall...I'm feeling good and positive today even though i had a couple of dreams about being in labor. I think there is a part of me that secretively fears that our baby has stopped growing because I think my belly has. I'm sure this isn't true.

Can I just say to all of the skinny women out there that being pregnant when you've already got a good chunk of weight on you looks, and feels really different than if you were pretty small before you got pregnant. I mean sometimes the only reassuring thing on my body that reminds me I'm actually pregnant, and not just getting fat, are a few stretch marks around my belly button. Which by the way still looks like a belly button I thought it was supposed to pop out sometime it hasn't and I'm starting to think that it actually may not.

As I've said before i think our baby is actually pretty small still. At the last ultra sound she was only 15oz and that was 2 weeks ago...but i think it's normal right...it must be, the doctor wasn't real concerned about it.

I've got another doctor's appointment with someone here in Louisville this coming Tuesday. I'm nervous about it. I didn't realize I would grow so attached to my other practice until I actually left it and now I've got to get used to a whole other group of doctor's examining me. Men, you should appreciate your wives more and what they had to endure during their 9months of pregnancy and labor, it's more invasive than one would think.

Anyways, this is turning into a rather long, rambling post so i should probably go and possibly talk to someone over the telephone today.

I'm really okay, really I am. I'm just a little down some days but today I'm telling myself that it is going to be a good day.
