Day 160/145. Both are correct. 145 is more accurate but according to the doctor I am 160. So, 22 weeks and 6 days. Nearly 5 months. Time is flying. Feeling more excited now and less scared. Listening to Hypnobirthing and reading Mindful Birthing has helped a lot. Reading positive birth stories is also helping. Watching many episodes of "Call the Midwife". Cried last night because I could feel Rambo moving and I had this incredible urge to hold and snuggle my chubby little baby boy. Although it is somewhat unsettling to picture a little boy running around the house and thinking about how exhausting it will be, I can't help but feel excited. He will be half me, half Cyrus and 100% ours.
Feeling less afraid of the actual birth. Believe in myself and know I can do it. Want to do it without pain medication. Did some research on the hospital recommended by our doctor. Looks like they are pro- natural birth. A lot of positive reviews. Feeling better about the hospital options. Not wanting much intervention and monitoring. Want to move around in a calm environment.
Feeling much better these days in general. Rambo is no longer snuggled against my bladder and I can sleep throughout the night without having to pee. However, do wake up periodically to turn over as one side of body falls numb due to the pregnancy pillow. Beats hip aches, though.
Running 3 miles on the treadmill but not often enough. Gaining much weight, although eating healthy (minus bag of Ruffles and 4 ice cream bars last night). Started at 125, now 135. Hiked last weekend which has becoming more challenging. Stamina lower, lungs feel smaller. Looking forward to hiking with baby outside my body.
Announced pregnancy on Instagram finally. A relief.
