- A very interested husband in all things pregnancy: "honey, can I give you a loooonnngggg backrub? You look like you're hurting" ..... "what is a breast pump for?"
- Abbie: "Let's watch these videos on breastfeeding." Ken: "I've never seen so many breasts."
- I am interested in reading about baking bread. My latest find: Healthy Bread in Five Minutes a Day by Hertzberg, M.D. & Francois. The library is great. Free books. New books all the time.
- Feeling Baby M move and move and move. Feeling her little hiccups, feeling her squirm around and shift positions. Feeling elbows, tiny feet (or so that's what I imagine).
- Talking with our doula. She checks in with me about what I'm doing and learning and how she can be of help. She's wonderful.
- Most conversations include words such as baby poo, nipples, and contractions.
- Growing out of my shirts. Now I really need maternity clothes.
- Wearing Ken's clothes. He laughs at me.
- Getting advice about baby things from friends. Most of it is very informative and helpful.
- Sharing pregnancy stories and joys and pains with other pregnant friends
- Going for walks with Ken. Being pushed up the hills when I run out of energy (ok, so I've never actually been pushed yet, but we tease about it).
- Parents who want to help around our house as we get ready for baby to arrive (this is AWESOME!!) I think "grandma and grandpa" are more in to nesting than I am at times!!
- Learning how to cuddle with my husband with a baby inside of me that is very in the way
My cousin Kaleena is passing through Kansas City today and will be staying the night with us. I love having company.
I love the list. And wahoo! Thanks for the shout-out!
