Insomnia
I have been trying to sleep for the last one hour with no success. I just read that, insomnia becomes more common at this stage of the pregnancy. If I still had my old job, it would be fine, I would get up and go to work since we could come in as early as 6 am, but this current position I can only come in after 7.30 am. So I was lying there listening to the 2-jus sleep wishing I could sleep so deeply.
Monday is the big appointment, I am not superstitious but it was at this appointment, 3 years ago, that everything started to go downhill. I just had a specialist appointment last week and everything is fine as far as they can tell, but with babies, I think every day counts. I am praying it is all fine and paying attention more to the movements of the baby. I think they say it should be 10 per hour.
Rehema has become my little helper, I think she has noticed that I cannot do much these days, she does not ask me to carry her anymore and she insists on helping me put on my shoes and clothes.
Happy Friday

28 weeks
28 weeks!!! I cannot believe it, the Lord has been tres bien to me. Today I went to see the specialist for my final appointment and it took only one hour. I could not believe it! My appointment was at 8 am and I was out at 9 am and got to work in good time!! (but as usual I got lost in that medical mall) The little boy weighs 3 pounds and so far things are looking good and I praise God for that. Just a short update...
Happy thanksgiving!!

HAVE A GOOD WEEK AND SAY THANK YOU TO A SOLDIER!!
Saturday has been a busy day. We sold my car last week and now I am shopping for another car with more space. We went to look for a car this morning and found one that we liked we wanted to sleep over it. Not sure how I will get to work on monday, it usually takes me 5 minutes to drive, but we will see.
Today we left Rehema for the first time with a sitter (well, she goes to daycare but she has been with some of those kids since she was 4 months old). 3 hours later we came back and she had talked their ears off. Wonder what she told them??? I am glad that she had a lot of fun with Brian and Hellen, and grateful to them for helping us out.
12 more weeks and some days to go, I am going into the third trimester. I am definately bigger this time and people do not hesitate to inform me that. I have applied for my disability & family medical leave so I guess that means, we are almost getting there. I guess I need to call the hospital and register. I have my specialist appointment in two weeks time. At least it is now too late for them to offer me the amniocentesis. I felt like they were pushing it on me the last time I was there, I think they asked me four times reminding me that it is an insurance covered procedure.
I have been drinking tonnes and tonnes of water. With my first pregnancy, around this time (at 30 weeks) I had to go on bed rest because of low amniotic fluid and the doctor did not know why. She suggested that I start drinking a lot of water to keep the fluid I had until 35 weeks.
I feel kinda ready to have the baby, I do have what I need, but I am still wondering what we are going to do with Rehema. I have a friend from home coming over but she is coming one week after the birth.
