First I want to say thank you all so much for the love and support you gave –here. I’m so grateful to have such an awesome community of ladies behind me showing support, you guys are the best! We went to our specialist appointment and, like I thought, no one is worried. It’s always great to get so many opinions though, Brand and I walked out of the appointment with smiles on our faces and the worry washed away -oh and we also got a few pictures of our little one.

So do I look tired in these pictures or what?! Ever since about week 20 I haven’t been able to sleep very well. My legs get all kinds of numb and sore and achy, I don’t know what it is. I’ve tried using pillows, I’ve tried using blankets, I’ve tried doing leg exercises before I go to bed. Any tips would be appreciated. -Maybe it’s my body just preparing me for when this little gal gets here?

And have I told you yet that her favorite time to move around is right before bed and between 4 and 530 in the morning? I think we have an active baby on our hands because this girl is moving and kicking like crazy -some of these movements are so startling it gets me all kinds of jumpy. But then of course I laugh and start talking to her -is that weird? Did you ever talk to your belly?

—————–

I don’t think I ever blogged this and I better do it now before I forget: One of the very first times I felt her kick I was sitting in church -relief society to be exact – and I was sitting next to my sil. I felt this little movement that felt kind of like a gas bubble and I just thought -well I think that’s just gas or something. So I sat there for a little bit longer and I got this big ole jolt in the same spot as before -I got kicked! And that was that.  I’m pretty sure she was trying to prove that she was there, “oh yeah-you thought that was gas, what do you think about this!?” Crazy girl.

  4. What a cute outfit! I think you are glowing! 🙂 How exciting about feeling your first kick. This makes me excited to have kids. We're still thinking one year out.

  16. I hate to break it to you but the not sleeping well never ends, it's even worse after the baby arrives (but oh so worth it!) On the plus side, you look great!

  17. I had achy legs too! I took Bradley classes with my last pregnancy. If you aren't familiar with the Bradley method, its also referred to as Husband coached childbirth. Every night, my hubby gave me a full body massage as part of our relaxation practice! It really helped the aches at night.

  21. What a lovely outfit, you look really cute. I remember how hard it was to sleep during the last weeks of the bregnancy. And how much I wished I had slept the days trough when my son was finally born.
