I've been so lucky to not have morning sickness or most of the common pregnancy horrors. Its been going so well that I've been spoiled. But over the last week or so I've been having some pains in my hips and pelvic bone that are pretty bad. It gets so bad at night sometimes that I can barely walk, which can be bad when you have to go to the bathroom NOW. I know its due to my hips spreading and I just hope that once they've spread as far as they need to go, the pain will stop. They can only spread so far, right?
Other than that, things are going very well. I continue to feel the little thump in my belly more and more frequently. And I think it must be a hand or foot up in my rib area that I feel pressing every now and then. Its nice to feel her just to remind me that she's there every now and then. Its amazing how protective you feel over something you've not been able to see yet. Earlier this week, a friend of my brother and his wife had their baby quite early. She was only 24 weeks and 4 days, which is what I am exactly today. The baby is in NICU at a hospital here. She was only a pound and a half and very tiny. Lord willing, she will be in the hsopital until December before they might be able to take her home. Seeing the pictures of that teeny tiny baby girl hooked to all those machines makes you realize how important it is to have patience. As much as I'm ready to meet Georgia Lou already, I'm more than happy to wait three more months to have a happy, healthy baby girl to take home with me. So everyone, say a prayer for Savannah Grace and her mommy and daddy.
