I woke up this morning with two girls that managed to weasel their way into my arms in the middle of the night. With 2 sets of arms hugging my tummy combined with the rhythmic kicking of the little one inside me, I can't help but wonder if I am the luckiest person on earth! I feel great these days and am so excited to welcome another little miracle into our lives. Now that I am 8 months along, the weight of uncertainty regarding preterm labor has discipated considerably. At about 22 weeks of my pregnancy, they discovered what they call a subchorionic hemorrage which essentially can lead to placenta abruption and preterm labor. I was put on modified bed-rest which has prevented me from keeping up with my fitness routine, but I have been able to contine working. With an ultrasound done a few weeks ago they confirmed the hemorrage has decreased and the baby is doing perfectly fine!! We feel so blessed and everytime I feel this baby move inside me I am reminded how amazing and intricate this pregnancy journey really is! James and I plan to take a babymoon at the beginning of June to Sedona and Grand Canyon. It might be the last trip we take just the two of us for a few years so we are definitely looking forward to it. Our family in La Jolla is planning a little baby shower brunch for the little one in late June in San Diego. In the meantime, I contine to have the need to "nest" and get our house ready for baby # 3. Poor James, he is probably tired of this "nesting" syndrome that I take ownership of every 2 years during my pregnancies :) This is definitely my favorite time of pregnancy. The girls are so excited too. They have to kiss and talk to the baby all day long. It's amazing what a special bond they have already.
