More Pregnancy

3 weeks from tomorrow I will be done being a pregnant woman (for a few years anyways) and I will be the mother of two instead.  I am ready to be done being pregnant this time around!  I am definitely looking and feeling pregnant right now.  I am lucky if I sleep 3 hours before having to wake up to pee.  I know this is going to continue with feeding the baby, and be just as often, but I'm figuring at least I can get comfortable on my back or stomach between feedings!  My feet are also getting swollen quickly if I am standing for too long... and in my hot office with no A/C until June 1st... my feet are swollen just from sitting, by shortly after lunch.  I will be wearing sweat-capri's by next week, I'm sure!  This weekend I pushed myself to get the basement organized and my feet were so mad at me that they were itching!

I am also torn between happy and sad because of how the new baby will affect my relationship with Timmy.  I am just as excited to see him in his new role as Big Brother as I was to see Tim in his role as Father last time.  I know Timmy will be wonderful at it!  It just will be different too.  This weekend when Timmy woke up, I talked him back into his bed to cuddle with me.  I'm trying to take every opportunity to give him my undivided attention and just talk to him and cuddle him as much as possible.  I even find myself agreeing to get on the floor and play choo choo trains for longer periods of time this week.  It has been amazing watching him grow and change seemingly every day, and I know that will continue, and we'll get to watch the baby do it too.  It's just one of the many situations that will come up in life that will force the dynamic of our relationship to change, hopefully this one is hitting the hardest because it's first, and because of my hormones!

On the positive side, I love that the delivery is just days before Mother's Day!  :)  Yes, my gift expectations are higher then usual, but Tim always delivers with gifts!  ;)  This baby is still wiggling around like crazy, which I love.  Timmy has felt the baby move a bunch of times, and he likes coming over to snuggle with the baby and give my belly kisses now.  He recently received a doctor's kit as a gift, and he immediately put the stethoscope on to come listen to the baby.  He and Mom will be coming to my next appointment Wednesday morning to hear the baby for real.  We are getting so close!!!
