Three days left until the ultrasound. Of course the days are going by so slowly! The doctor's office called this morning, which made me scared that they were going to cancel and move my appointment again. Luckily though, it was just to confirm.
I can't stop eating today. Even when my belly tells me that I'm probably full, something keeps me hungry. Can't tell if my belly is just upset and saying it's full, or I'm eating more than I realize.
Katie just did the most adorable thing, she came over to where I was sitting, climbed up and pulled my shirt away from my belly. She just suddenly kept rubbing and patting my belly and laying her head down on it. When I asked her what she was doing, she just giggled or told me "shhhh." It was so cute, I'm not sure what made her do it but she's never done anything like that before, and she kept doing it for a good fifteen minutes.
This morning Bill and I started talking about how Christmas is going to have to go with the new baby. It was exciting and started to feel more real, putting down plans and discussing it. I noticed that Bill has been getting more excited too, he brings up the baby more and he puts his hand on my belly a lot. He said he's been happier lately, knowing that we're expanding our family again and having another baby.
As sick as I've been, I realized that I really do love being pregnant. With Katie, everything was new and scary and I had no idea what was going on. While I enjoyed my pregnancy with her, I don't think I truly loved it yet. With Elizabeth, I loved the pregnancy. I was so glad to finally be pregnant. But with this pregnancy, and I suppose with the total emptiness that the end of Elizabeth's pregnancy left me with, I really realized that I do love being pregnant. It's like no other time in my life. While I get sick as a dog, I limb around with horrible back pains, and I can't go near a car, I still really enjoy this time.
