Again, I apologize for the delayed blog. I really do think about writing-I just forget. Can't believe that summer has already ended-well technical but if you live in the South it is still hot as haiti's. Scorching. I have become a hermit or a bat..The heat adds even more torture while preggers. The joys of pregnant life ;). I am one of the 20% that still gets sick-like every meal sick. So, going outside during the day is quite impossible.
This summer has been filled with baseball, baseball..school (for Grant) & watching this belly grow..& grow. Post 12-the summer team Grant coaches for won State Champs :)! We then traveled to South, Carolina for the regional games. Never, ever as a preggers woman will I ever make a 7hr ride. OMG! Worst trip of my life.
Now, to the important part. Baby Goose. Everyday, every kick, I feel like I have this amazing miracle in the belly. My favorite time is right before I go to sleep, watching tv, eating a bowl of cereal, little guy starts kicking. They started around 18wks. I could begin to feel flutters, around the 23rd week they became stronger & stronger. By the glow of the tv, you can see his movements under the skin. I can't help but get emotional as I watch that. Grant & I cried, got angry, frustrated because we never imagined that we would get to experience this. Now.....I am 25wks & feeling very pregnant. My body, oh my...As Grant says-I have a "squatty" body. He's so kind :). It's ok though, I have began to except the weird looking shape of my belly, achy feet...but also the kindness people have to pregnant woman...people really are nicer..lol. I had to go in every 2 wks this summer for a "short cervix" issue. I loved it. I made great friend's with Brooke my ultrasound girl :)..So she would put him on the screen for 20 minutes @ a time for me to see him. It was like our own special time. Grant had classes..so it was just me & him. Grant has been amazing this whole entire time. So attentive, caring even sympathetic when I am hugging the toilet all day, my hair hasn't been washed...He is the love of my life. The love.
Can't believe summer has ended....another summer filled with so many memories...one that is really going to be cherished by grant & i. Our last one with no kiddo....Yipee :)!!!
