33 Weeks

 Today marks 33 weeks with our little miracle rainbow baby girl. Have experienced more soar muscles and joints lately, a little more difficulty walking with extra pressure on my spine and hips. Doing my best as possible considering we still have several more weeks to go until our estimated due date on December 24th.

Hoping to hear back from the doctor's office today for another medical center consult, the last in our search for who will be the best place for birth. 

Kicks and movements still infrequent, usually more-so at night. Had a beautiful and memorable moment several nights ago when laying back and looking at my belly with my husband. Those videos where you see babies arms and legs move in the womb, that is exactly what happened and it was so precious. This is something we never got to see with our son over six years ago, just little kicks with our son, never arms and legs moving where you could see it in womb. Feeling so incredibly lucky and blessed to have that now in our memory.  

So here we are, further than we imagined possible, planning our Blessingway that will happen on the last Saturday of November. Why the last weekend and not the first in December? I worry that will be too close to the due date and I wanted it to be near our 36th week of pregnancy. 

I won't make this political however I will state that this week the election has been a distraction from all the concern about finding a medical center or hospital for birth. I also enjoy watching a tv show once a day to get my mind calm and relax for even a moment. Sleep has been more challenging to get comfortable, so I try to take a break when I can. Still so much to do around the house and I only have so much time and energy. 

Our son recently made another drawing of our family, including his cat. I love how he drew me with our baby. Told me that my arms are holding my belly in the picture. So sweet. <3 

Unsure what happens next, just hoping everything is more positive ahead of us. Hopeful for more positivity for all the world in the future.
