27 weeks
Yesterday we were really busy. I took Baylie to Zilker Park. We went with Missy and Jennifer and the girls. We took a picnic lunch, played on the playscape, rode the train, had cotton candy, fed the pigeons (the girls had fun chasing them!)& saw a balloon clown. I've been wanting to take Baylie to do a few things before Camryn comes. I know we'll have a pretty quiet summer with a new baby. Speaking of babies, Jennifer found out last week she's having a BOY! She's really excited.
Kirt was out of town last weekend helping his mom lay tile at her house. We really missed him. While he was gone, of course, little Camryn had a kicking FIT! Sunday night I was just in awe of all the movement. It was so obvious which way she was laying by how she was kicking and giving me headbutts. It was AMAZING!
Now I'm going to get emotional and sappy, because that's the way I've been for the last week or two... I was reading another diary on-line and I was just in tears reading what she wrote. It was about a quote that she read by Erma Bombeck telling you not to wish away your nine months because it's one of the few times you get to assist God in a miracle. I thought that was so beautiful and as I sit here with my wonderful miracle kicking me, I think of how hard we worked for this and how lucky we really are. All we've ever wanted was to give Baylie a sibling so that when we're old or gone, she has someone to lean on, talk to, and share her life with. Now that wish has become a reality. I'm so grateful. It was a long road that we had to endure even though I have no patience. Kirt told me constantly that I had to get well before I could have another baby. As much as I didn't want to hear it, I knew he was right. A sick Mommy wasn't going to do our fanily any good. Now I also know what a wonderful man God gave me. We had a lot of times we needed to lean on each other. It has made everything so much sweeter.
Okay. That's enough of that! I let Kirt read my entries, and I don't want him to get too big-headed! Anyway, I was cleaning house the other day and I noticed I was feeling a really tight almost cramp-like feeling in my stomach. It was uncomfortable and made cleaning near impossible! I sat down because I was so tired, and it seemed to let up a little. I felt like such a baby because I can barely do anything without being wiped out. I don't remember being this way with Baylie. I asked a few people about it, and no one seemed to know what to say. I left a message for my nurse and she called me back and asked if I was having them more than four a day. I said no, but I thought it was four an hour... Today they have been especially bad. I guess it's from all the walking we did or something. The nurse said she would check me on Thursday (next week) to see if anything was happening. I'll feel better knowing everything is normal and nothing is happening. So we'll see.
This is getting too long, so I better go now. Until next week...
