This is the last week of my second trimester! Every day it feels more real for Ed and me. Ed has gotten to feel the baby kicking more now. I swear the baby doesn’t sleep because I feel kicks all day long! I don’t feel the kicks as much at work, but that is probably because I am busy and don’t notice it as much. It is so exciting to be getting this close.
I am starting to feel the effects of being pregnant more now. I started back to work last week and had students on Thursday and Friday. I’ve been feeling tired, but I didn’t realize that it would be harder to teach while pregnant. Physically, I am feeling pretty good. I was really happy to see I still had ankles at the end of the day! I haven’t been swelling yet, but it’s still early. However, I have noticed that I am not as patient now, and I am definitely more emotional. Note the hour long crying session after the second day with students…I have never done that before! I think I am going to have a very interesting class this year, but of course, I will whip them into shape! Hahaha! I am finishing up about 2 more weeks of teaching online and then I will be taking a break until at least February. I am not sure I will want to give up my time with Baby to teach online, but we will see.
Sleeping is really starting to change for me now. First of all, we had to buy a step ladder to make it easier for me to get in and out of our tall bed! The baby loves to kick all night long, especially on the side I am laying on. I also wake up quite a bit from being uncomfortable, but it’s all worth it!
We are excited about football season…especially Ed! We are going to Kansas City at the end of September to watch the Chiefs and 49ers play. Go niners! I even got a maternity 49ers t-shirt to wear to the game. I am hoping for nice weather! My dad, stepbrother, and his girlfriend are going to the game, too. It should be a good time. I’ve never been to Arrowhead Stadium. We will also be watching the Iowa Hawkeye games each Saturday, but I am not sure we will get to go to a game this year.
As usual, I am ahead of the game. I have our hospital bags sitting out with many items ready to be packed! I bought a robe and comfy PJ’s for the hospital and for home. My family and friends have started talking about showers, which gets me even more excited for baby to come! We went to another baby class last week where parents brought in their 2 month-6 month old babies. They talked about the hospital, the birth, and adjusting at home. Although I am nervous about the lack of sleep, the babies were too cute to worry too much! I think they are born adorable to make up for the sleepless nights and crying!
Well, I hope everyone is doing well! Ed and I are excited and doing great. I hope to see or talk to you all very soon! Hugs and Kisses!
