To sum up this week: BUSY! Both me and the baby! I finally started feeling more than flutters, and Aubriella has started kicking! I've felt a couple of kicks over the past few weeks, but now it is more consistent. Wednesday she would not stop moving, and it was strong enough to feel with my hand. I LOVE it! Almost any time I bend forward, she kicks me as if to say "You are squishing me!" I hate to admit, but sometimes I "squish" her a little longer so I can feel an extra kick. Somehow every time she is moving a lot, Jose is not with me and hasn't been able to feel her.
Jose and I have had commitments every single night, and I'm starting to feel like I'm running on empty- and we don't even get a break this weekend!
Yesterday our nursery furniture arrived and we stayed up until 11:30 putting the crib together and setting up the bedding. It seemed like a good idea last night, but today I'm tired!
I continue to have an easy pregnancy, but my tailbone and hips have started hurting more. At our last doctors appointment, the midwife told me that I can't be sleeping on my back anymore. I didn't think that was a problem because I'm a side sleeper. Wrong! Jose is taking this doctors advice very seriously and wakes me up several times a night when he finds that I have rolled to my back. I apparently move to my back a lot more than I thought! He's told me that he feels my shoulders when I'm sleeping to make sure I'm on my side! I appreciate his concern, but my sleep has not been so great. I've been propping myself up with a body pillow, but when I decide to switch sides it takes a lot of readjusting. Oh well, small price to pay to make sure the weight of my uterus does not block the flow of blood through my arteries restricting oxygen to baby and me!

LOL about Jose waking you up! So funny.
My doctor actually told me not to worry about it until I started feeling light headed. Indeed, around 25 or 26 weeks I started waking up once or twice a night when I would accidentally roll on my back feeling out of breath and yucky. Now I am pretty sure i stay put on my side all night or else it would wake me up.
Might as well get in the habit, right?
Can't wait to see nursery pictures!
Lacey that is exactly what I think! I figure my body would tell me when I wasn't getting enough oxygen. I had read that you know when it is too heavy. But I guess I might as learn now.
