Week 28

(September 16th- September 23rd)

Emotional:

Still feeling a little down once in a while, but I'm generally doing pretty well. I'm trying to get as much as I can done now, but it always seems like there's not enough time! I'd still like to do something with the baby's room, maybe do some painting or find some wall decorations. I still haven't picked a certain "theme" but I'm thinking something simple, like little cutesy animals or something. :) I know it's cheesy, but I do want to do the whole pastel colours and cutesy things theme. It's not that original, but hey, sometimes it's ok to go with the classics. I also need to get started on my Christmas shopping, since I know I'll just be getting busier and busier as time goes by. Other than baby preparations, my life continues as normal. I'm still going to all the programs, looking after my apartment (and doing a damn fine job of it, if I do say so myself) :) I'm enjoying this time, and I usually (except for the ocassional mood swing!) feel pretty good about how my life is going.

Physical:

Despite the discomforts of pregnancy, this is still an enjoyable time. It's so strange, because I was thinking the other day about how there used to be a time when I slept through the entire night without having to get up to go the bathroom even once and I can't clearly remember that time!!! I've been up in the night for so many months, it's just become normal for me! Harmony is still active, and still getting stronger and stronger. Last night she did something that felt really strange! I think she tried stretching her little legs out of the fetal position cause I felt pushing on two sides of my tummy. I'm glad she didn't stretch for long, cause it was pretty uncomfortable. None of her movements are ever painful though, and I really enjoy this feeling of connection between a mother and fetus. I still feel amazed when I think of this little tiny life growing inside of me. I can't wait until I can meet my daughter!!!
