Seven Months

 This is the last week of our seventh month! The baby has been moving a lot! Overall I have been feeling pretty good!  Some days are a bit uncomfortable and I feel tired by the afternoon.  Other days I have more energy. It's getting a bit more difficult to bend over or pick up things off the ground.  I have been quite hot for the past few weeks and it didn't help that we had a crazy heat wave this past week. The most annoying symptom has been at night when my hips ache and it's hard to roll over.

Three weeks ago we found out that my blood sugar was testing on the high side so I have had to be more mindful of what I eat. The doctors have assured me that this is quite normal during pregnancy and as soon as I deliver the baby the blood sugar should go back to normal.

The children in my class have been expressing an interest in my growing belly. They all know that I am having a baby but they have been asking very curious questions and have been telling me their own birth stories which have been quite interesting to hear coming from three and four year-olds.

Darrin and I have spent the past month cleaning out our guest bedroom and preparing it for a nursery/guest bedroom. It is finally cleaned out and just in time, for the baby showers!

In just two more months are little bundle of joy will be arriving. We are excited and nervous all at the same time! We start our preparing for childbirth classes this Friday October 7th.
