So it begins.... The last couple of nights I have been waking up every couple of hours. Last night was the worst. I was wake at 2:30 am, 4:30 am and then again at 7:30 am. So, I gave up trying to go back to sleep and I am now blogging. I just haven't been comfortable sleeping. (Mostly from feeling a lot of pressure on my stomach when I am lying down). I've tried many positions. On my side on the right, on my side on the left and also on my back. (I know I shouldn't be doing that one). If anyone has an ideas on how to be more comfortable, please share.
In other news, I had more blood work done the other day. (Oh boy! I never knew you get so much blood work done while you are pregnant). Have you ever heard of fifth disease, also known as "Slap Cheeks"? If no, you're not the only one. I guess there has been a outbreak in Ontario's schools in the last few months. And fifth disease is contagious, specially when you are pregnant. So as a precaution, my doctor ordered a blood work to see if my have the antibody to fight of the disease.
To more exciting news about Belly Bee. I have been feeling BB move a lot lately. And each time I felt a movement, it has been come stronger and stronger. And yesterday, for the first time Darian even felt something. I'll let him tell you what it felt like in his own words. But I know that he was very excited.
I know we've haven't posted pictures up lately. I hope to have some to post on the blog this afternoon.
That's so exciting to feel the baby bee!!! And it must be nice that Darian finally felt it, too - it's so hard to time it right.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear that you're not sleeping well - I recommend the use of several pillows. A body pillow is essential. Or you can do various configurations (e.g. one under the belly on your side, one between your knees, one behind your back). Let me know how it goes.
p.s. I HAVE heard of slap cheek! I thought Nathan had it one day, for about two seconds.
