Inner Peace

Not only have I been feeling stronger kicks and pokes, but I can also feel her turning around in somersaulting movements. The other day Gloria kicked me in the rib, and it felt like she'd lodged herself underneath it. While it was painful and unexpected, I enjoyed it at the same time, to feel that she's doing different things day to day.

I have noticed definite mood swings, and bigger cases of the grumpies. My husband has noticed them too, and although he points them out, I feel like he realizes I don't mean it... however, I try to apologize when I see what I've said or done. Silly little things set me off and make me the angriest, especially the cat. I've read kitties will react much differently to you while you're pregnant, sometimes switching from kiss ups to little demons.

I do want to take a moment to say how great my husband has been lately. We still have our petty fights, but he's been much more attentive and content than he ever has been before. When we first found out we were pregnant, he was stressed out beyond belief. The first ultrasound helped him a lot. Once we had the second ultrasound, confirming her gender, he completely changed for the better. He calls her his daughter, and talks about everything he's looking forward to, especially buying her Legos when the time is right.

It's amazing how content I feel as well. Generally I'm on edge about something, work, bills, groceries, and while most of those tend to be an issue now, it doesn't seem to bother me. I've found an inner peace, and I'm sure many ladies out there know exactly what I'm talking about.
We're very excited to welcome our first addition in three and a half short months!
