Hi Honey!

Guess what? Tomorrow is supposed to be your birthday.

I have a lot of pressure down in my pelvis. The last couple of days I have had pain in my back off and on. Today I had some back pain and two cramps, but it went away. I don’t know if you will be born tomorrow or not, but you have been pretty active today. I feel occasional tightening in my belly…must be those Braxton Hicks contractions I read about…although I have no idea!

I am excited! I hope you will be born tomorrow, I cant wait to meet you. I want to see you and see what you look like. I want to hold you and tell you how much I love you. I want to hold you so bad, just want to snuggle and love you.

My sweet little love bug. I keep hoping my water will break or that labor would start. Everyone is so excited, they’ve been calling me a lot. I haven’t had any regular intervals of tightening or cramping.

I know I say it everyday but I am so excited…I cant wait!

I want to be your Mommy so bad. I hope tomorrow is the day!

We shall see…
Love You So Much!
Love Mommy

Hello My Sweet Love,

How are you today? I just got out of the shower, it always wipes me out. Something as simple as taking a shower can make me so exhausted. I believe it has to do with the HG that I had.

I was a little nauseated the past two days as well. It said on the HelpHer.org website that recovery is long for HG women, to expect at least two months for every month you were sick.

I was horribly sick for 5 months, now some days are really good… I feel good and have energy… but lately I have been very low energy, taking lots of naps, and when I shower I need to just lay down and rest a few moments before I get dressed and finish my “beauty routine”.

It’s hot today...

Hi Sweetheart,

Today was your baby shower, and I must tell you I have the most wonderful friends. The baby shower was very nice.

We had Rubios Mexican Food Catering, and a yummy chocolate fountain with fresh fruit. We played some fun games and you got some very nice gifts.

I am so excited, you will be here very soon!

I Love You.
Love Mommy

Hello My Sweet Love!

Tonight a funny thing happened and although I had been told about it and read about it, I was still somehow unprepared and a little shocked! *Laugh*

My left nipple leaked! I guess it knows I’ll be feeding you very soon. Just a few drops but it was still sooo weird!

I also threw up this morning, and haven’t felt all that great all day. It just creeps up on me sometimes. I am really glad I didn’t have cereal this morning because milk is HORRIBLE coming up. (The second time around) I had an apple and an English muffin and I was really bummed because it was Yummy!

I may have just waited too long to eat… I didn’t eat until 12pm, but I didn’t even wake up until 10am. I am supposed to be getting more rest.

I wish I had the energy to go for a walk, I really want to go walk on the beach… but it has been raining. I love the rain, but...

Hi Sweetie!

How do I love thee?

Only six more weeks until your birthday! I am so excited.

I started doing “kick counts” today to check how active you are. You were very active this afternoon and a little during my nap. It’s almost 7pm so you should be waking up soon. So I will...

Hi Sweetie!

Mommy had a doctor appointment today.

He said I have the warning signs of yet another complication… I am retaining water, gaining too much weight, and have slight swelling in my legs. The doctor said I need to do a low sodium diet and watch what I eat.

These are warning signs of pre-eclampsia, and if I don’t get it under control, he might have to do an emergency C-Section.

I love you so much my sweet baby boy. I will...

Hello Sweetheart,

I am not feeling all that great today. Not really sick… just kinda blah! Feeling.

Tomorrow we are going to auntie Jess’s house. We are going down there for a visit, and a little break from all the never ending list of crap I need to finish before your birthday.

Hey!! You’re kickin’ me! …
