My Tummy is Getting So BIG!!!

My tummy is getting so big! I’m cute right now, if only it I would stay this size and not get bigger :) I am so in love with our little man already. I will be very happy when we gets here and we can hold and love him outwardly.
Every day I read to our baby and I try and do music time. They say it is good for his developing brain and it’s important for him to hear my voice. I also try to do a little learning of my own or be creative because as my brain works he receives the hormonal impulses that are sent off or something of that effect. The point is I am trying to help his development as much as I can and be a good mommy, plus I love our story time together!!! I feel that it has bonded us a little bit more every time we read together. I always try to describe the pictures and explain little things to him. I am sure it makes no difference to him what I am saying, but it is the sound of my voice that counts.
I have gotten to learn a little bit more about his personality the bigger he gets. I know his kicking schedule and I am learning the positions that he likes and doesn’t, that is my positions that he does and doesn’t like anyway. And there are certain foods that he reacts to more than others.
The other morning Anton and I woke up early and drank a dose of Epsom salt and lemon juice to clean the bile from out intestines. Dr. Anton said that it would be perfectly safe for baby and that it would make us feel so much better to be ride of build up in our organs. Well that may be so, but it tasted awful!! We followed it down with a big glass of water to get rid of the taste and then we were supposed to go back to sleep and let it start working. Well I was way to full to lie back down so I had to sit propped up for a bit. Well baby did not like it either. At first I think it gave him the hiccups and then he just started slowly wiggling which progressed into a hard core kick and punch session that he kept up for probably ten minutes. Poor little man, it wasn’t his choice to be ingested with that vile stuff.
We always add baby’s health and development in our prayers. I have tried to be very conscious of baby’s health. There are things I no longer eat and things that I now eat more of instead. I watch my calorie intake so as not to under or over eat and I have made sure that I am still exercising, but that it is a safe exercise for baby.
The point of sharing all of this is that the other day after freaking him out with the Epsom salt and saying my prayers in regards to his health it hit me how concerned I already am for his little well being. Something I obviously knew I was aware of, but to the extent was an interesting emotion. There is already the constant worry of how will this affect our baby, am I eating well enough, am I prepared to take care of him once he is born. Good thing his daddy is a Dr. because there is a possibility that I will be freaking out inside every time I hear him cry, what does he need, or want? Am I giving him everything he needs? Bahhh it has started already!
I love being pregnant! I love being a mommy!! :)
