Movement
I've finally reached that stage of pregnancy when I can feel the fluttering. What a great feeling!! I began noticing it on Monday night, and the last two nights it has been pretty constant once I've sat down after dinner. As I sit here and type I can feel the little guy kicking away. Was strong enough the other night that my husband actually felt it as well. Not bad considering the little wonder is just about 5 1/2 inches long.
I got some interesting news from my Mother last night...one of the OBs I've been seeing as part of my three OB rotation with my primary practice is retiring...in June! Arg. I REALLY like this doctor, and I've actually seen him quite a bit (including my visit this week), so it's bittersweet he won't be able to see me through the entire pregnancy. I was considering having him or the other male doctor I'm working with (who delivered my son) deliver this baby, so now I guess whatever day the remaining doctor is delivering that week is the day I'll select. Kind of narrows down my options on picking the baby's birthday!
I also had a strange and horrifying thought pop into my head yesterday...after spending the morning with three other Moms who have recently had a second child. If I'm that tired now, how will I function with a newborn and an active toddler? I know we all just "get through it," but I'm seriously wondering how I'll be able to stay alert enough to Mother properly if I barely have the energy some days to sit on the floor and play with my son. We will see...
