The Joyful Months

I am feeling much better. I can't say I'm bounding with energy, but I dont' know that I ever am. DD keeps me on my toes, and I feel that I get more exercise than I give myself credit for just by following her around. I'm also taking a prenatal yoga class, which I like a lot (though I still feel lazy about going, and watch the clock while I'm there!!) My chest is SOOO tender, it is torture for the first 30 seconds to nurse, but otherwise I'm feeling good. DD is going through a needy stage, and does request to nurse a couple of times during the night. Whatever the reason I'm sure it's a good one, and I don't complain. Today is the first time in forever and ever than she fell asleep at home for her nap. I have had to drive her around in the car to get her to sleep, unless I want to wait and deal with a very tired kid during dinner and beyond. (Which is ok sometimes too - better than the struggle we were having with nap time for a while.) So yeah, I feel pretty good. I definitely feel the baby moving around in there these days. It's so cool. It's one of the best parts of pregnancy! Although my ability to feel it is inconsistent, and only from the inside, it seems that most nights when I lie down in bed, the baby moves a lot. That was true of DD too. In two days we find out the sex!! Omigosh, a very exciting time indeed. I really don't have a strong intuition either way. DD says it's a girl. DH says he is less anxious about finding out this time, but he always leans towards it being a girl. (wishes) I remain unsure and unclear. I don't know what else to report right now, but I'll be back to post after the ultrasound!
