My 5yr old has suddenly decided to start co-sleeping again. I'm not too worried about it right now, but we're certainly going to be in trouble come July if both of our kids are in our bed when the baby comes. Luckily, right now, my husband is sleeping in the living room to be close to his precious baby chickens (seriously, it makes me laugh how well he's taking care of them) so our bed isn't too uncomfortable for a 5yr old, a 2yr old, and a 5mo pregnant lady. :)
So anyway, I was laying on my side trying to fall asleep and the baby started kicking up a storm. He'd been fairly quiet for the latter part of the day, so it was nice to get that reassurance before sleeping. The kicks were coming regularly enough that I said "Emma, come here" and she crawled over her brother and sat beside me. I placed her little hand right on my stomach where I'd been feeling the most kicks and within seconds BAM, the biggest kick yet right underneath her palm. Since it was dark, I could see her face, but I could just feel her smile. She was so excited and kept saying "my hand raised up and then went back down!" and saying "I think the baby is trying to kick a hole out of your tummy". :) It was just a nice moment. I now can't wait until daddy and big brother get that chance as well.
Friday is the big anatomy ultrasound! I am on pins and needles. Of course, I'm mainly hoping and praying for a healthy baby. I have no reasons to thin that that WON'T be the case, but I think every expecting mama goes through this. I also hope that maybe the baby has caught up a bit to my due date. He/she has measured 5 days behind on both ultrasounds that I've had so far. I'm almost positive I ovulated late, so that accounts for the measurements being a bit off, but my doctor doesn't change due dates unless I'm measuring a week either way. My next fear is going in there and the baby is measuring even further behind. Gah, I'm going to be in a loony bin before this baby comes. I was so chill with C's pregnancy, so I don't know what happened.
