Catching up
So I had several things I wanted to include in this week's update but I didn't have the time to get my thoughts down and most of them are gone. Let me see what I can recover in the next few minutes:
My current complaint is occasional cramping in my calves. Otherwise, I'm feeling great. I had one night of discomfort this weekend when I sat on a very hard folding chair at dinner for several hours. I couldn't get comfortable and had to get up and walk around to make myself feel better.
Crossing my legs has become slightly challenging and I think I look funny.
For weeks I have wished that the McNugget had DVR. I am constantly feeling kicks when no one is around to feel them, or I'll feel a bunch of them and then Jonathan will want to feel and nothing happens. If only I could push "rewind."
I have a great book about birth that is helping me prepare for D-day. I'm pretty confident when I read it and I am excited in a lot of ways about the chance to be brave in the face of such uncertainty. I hope I can keep that up.
Jonathan and I met with a pediatrician last week whom we really like. I wasn't expecting this but it almost felt like an audition; I never thought of a doctor "selling" you on his or her services but that is sort of what it felt like. I suppose it makes sense. Jonathan pointed out that the one you pick will likely be the one you see for 18 years so it's important to make a connection. We liked how accessible this doctor was and that he was easy to talk to.
We signed up for a hospital tour next month. We really are getting close.
