Stiches and movements

Good evening!

As Ive been sitting here reading over some blogs, Ive been having what I call "stitches" on my belly. Usually I have to stand up and stretch for several minutes before the pain abates.

Ok, Im better now.

The baby is really moving right now. I keep imagining what he looks like...like how big he is. I find it difficult to imagine his actual size while looking at my belly. Its truly an amazing concept to think that I have a living human being moving around in me. Sometime when I feel really large movements inside of me, I imagine that hes probably just doing what we outside are doing...normal everyday things like stretching or well...just the natural movements you make when your living every day life....but for him...inside of me, its magnified because I can feel it all and because there is so little room for him to move.

Then, I think about what it will be like when were doing home school after hes born, and hes hanging out sleeping nearby. All of his little movements that he made inside of me suddenly wont seem so big. But, then when he moves or yawns or stretches, we get to watch him.

Like I told you all a few days ago, there is a lot going on the next two weeks. But after that, there is not much planned except for the regular schedule.

From October 18th and on...I will have two weeks till Im due. In my mind, I view that as the "waiting period". You know...like any day could be the day. Ha, Ha! Because Im not sure I want him to come before then, because I want to make sure hes "in" as long as he needs to be. That sounds funny to me too...as if I can control that.

But today was a good eating day. I havent had time to dig up any new recipes. But I did "make up" something different that Ive been really enjoying. I started adding 1 tablespoon of peanut butter to my protein shakes.

So, its like this: 6 oz of water, 4 to 5 ice cubes, 4 ounce banana, chocolate protein powder (about one ounce), and 1 tbl of natural peanut butter.

Wow! It is so tasty, thick and makes me feel like Im have a chocolate-y, peanut butter treat.

Well, I hope you all have a good Wednesday. I see a midwife tomorrow.

Sincerely,
Sunshine Mama
