Yo! Laying here on my side and trying to feel better. Not so nauseated and out of breath. These conditions are only temporary but few weeks ago - I didn't know what was happening until my nurse told me to either drink grape juice and stuff my belly with peanut butter or simply lay down and relax. And while I am writing this I am starting to feel better. Welcome to pregnancy -

It has been a while since I posted my last blog on here. I thought since I am close to giving birth - I should post one because it might be the last.
Just few days ago I recapped on my pregnancy and it really is going fast. All I remember when Tom and I wanted to have some "freak-out time" to realize that we are going to be parents. Then the next thing I remember someone making a remark that I am finally showing and becoming pretty big. And now I am fighting with my shoes on the floor out of breath and trying to figure out the perfect position I have found few days ago to put on my shoes.

I should start a tally on the bathroom wall, because that's the room I am spending most of my time at. Yeah, seriously! Started timing it...50-70 minutes until I have to go again. (Surprisingly I made it through Benjamin Button movie which was 3 freakin' hours!)
I always said I am not going to be walking like pregnant woman - it always appeared soo dramatic but yeah...there is pretty much no choice. I joined the waddlers. Just when you feel like you can't go on anymore, because you entire body aches, you can't find a comfy position for more than 15 min. - I start feeling great the next day.

I feel Amelie moving the entire time. She is not so much of a kicker - she like to turn around and stretch out. I really enjoy these movements, much more than the early spontaneous short pocking attacks. She responds to touch, pressure, sound and light. Light not so much at this point but she was very active when we played Tom's song "The Red Machine pt 3" (according to Tom a song that was meant to create anxiety) - yep she DID NOT enjoy that.

Well, we toured the hospital and I feel more relaxed about where I'm supposed to go when Amelie is ready to join us. Pretty nice hospital, my own whirlpool, music I can play during labor, TV, DVD, nice calm lighting...I can't wait!
I have heard so many things about labor and contractions - at this point I am not nervous nor scared, because the way I have been feeling lately. I don't want to feel this way any longer and if contractions and labor are the final passages to get through it all - so be it!
 
Since I can't work-out anymore, nor take long walks - I decided to swim. Oh...it feels fabulous - so light and flexible. Initially I wanted to go swimming twice a week but I am always running out of time. I am still working full/time and also taking bunch of classes to finally finish my B.A. in the summer. I think Tom and I want to live more and experience life after Amelie is born - and we would like to travel and live in different places. Boise, is great but there are so many other places to discover.

I am currently in the process of applying for US citizenship, since Amelie will have a dual citizenship just by birth - I want to join the fun.

I
know this will be a great spring and summer. Winter was somewhat dark,
cold and annoying. And at times I felt so numb inside, like an bear
that sleeps thru winter to wake up to eat all the sweet honey!

Today when I look outside the window, it looks like spring outside...yes it definitely is deceiving because it is still pretty cold outside, but finally we have the blue sky back after week-long inversion.

Well, folks that's it for now. I feel I am forgetting something but I gotta run now. I have a chiropractor appointment - and he will make me feel like new again (which will  probably last for 2 weeks) but I know that my hips are out of alignment and needs some chiropractor hands.

Take care and do remember APRIL 1st!!! is not only April fool's day but possibly my daughter's birthday.

Love,
Dominique

Hallo Domi, schön wieder von Dir zu lesen. Ich habe das gleiche Gefühl wie Du: Endlich bringt die Sonne wieder Licht in das endlose grau des Winters und lässt meine Glückshormone wieder erwachen. Ich freue mich auf den Frühling und vor allem auf den Sommer der mich wieder leicht und unbeschwert macht. Noch ist es sehr kalt bei uns, aber die hin und wieder auftauchende Sonne lässt den Winter für ein paar Stunden in Vergessenheit geraten. Für Dich oder Euch wird es ein ganz besonderer Frühling und Sommer werden, mit Ankunft der kleinen Amélie. Sicher werden die letzten Wochen vor der Geburt sehr anstrengend sein, aber auch einmalig. Ich wünsche mir für Dich das es nicht zu schlimm wird. Alles alles gute für die nächste Zeit und meld Dich bald wieder! Liebe Grüsse, von drieben, Kee
