Ok, so....had a doctor's appointment today. Everything went really well. I am doing wonderful and the baby is healthy and that is most important. I miss Matthew terribly, but I must say the most wonderful part about our relationship is how well we communicate. Yes, we both have our really stubborn moments, but in retrospect to each one, I cherish them. It is nice to both have opinions and to be able to choose and compare two strong opinions is a blessing. It's also nice that neither of us are weak and we always want the best for each other. I suppose talking things through has been the best way we get through things and I think that is why so many marriages fail. The trust in each other is not there and the ability to be honest, open, and up front about everything is true of successes. Anyway, the one thing I HOPE Matthew is being truthful about lately is that he still thinks I am beautiful, because no offense to anyone but I really don't care if you all think I am pretty.....it only really matters if Matthew thinks I am, even more than myself. Thank you to everyone trying to cheer me up about it though! I am not going to turn down free compliments! And to Matthew....you are such a sweet husband, I love you so much!
Layla is taking it easy these last few days, not too active.....she's relaxing from the week of boxing practice she had last week. She lets me sleep through the night mostly except the occasional punch on my bladder. I know, I know........EVERYone and their mom who has had a child tells me "Just wait, it's only going to get worse!".....ok.....I understand it is going to get worse, but is that information REALLY necessary? Not EVERYONE's pregnancy gets worse, ok people?? So let's just chill out on the "it's going to get worse" or the "just wait til the baby comes" comments. They get old and irritating really fast. Fortunately, my other pregnant friends (I have several, last November must have been mating season), we all agree that the one thing we DON'T like about being pregnant are all the people that want to tell you exactly how THEIR pregnancy was, like it is set in stone that yours will be the same.....or that we have no idea what we are in for with a child. I, actually tend to laugh at those people after getting annoyed because they obviously didnt enjoy pregnancy near as much as I do and I have a feeling they didnt enjoy new motherhood as much as I will. And....while they're at it, cut out the eyebrow raise that goes with it.....you know, the one that silently says "I don't know about that, just wait and see" like they are all knowing about your life and pregnancy. Kinda funny, but most everyone knows what I am talking about!
So, to end the day.....the weather is getting warm here (for those of you tempting the "just wait and see" comment, please refer to the prior paragraph) , I think I am going to get a kiddie pool for me to lay out in outside. I want to get some sun so my skin doesn't look so bleak and transparent! We will see though.....usually pregnancy and bathing suits don't match too well! the REAL challenge will be keeping the puppies out of the pool when I am in there! Or from drinking the whole thing.
Phew....ok, I am off to bed.....the tiredness of pregnancy is kicking back in like in the first 2 months! Man, I thought it would stay away longer!!
Love to all and love with kisses to Matthew.

If only I looked as good as you when I was pregnant.
Just for the record I loved being pregnant. I was lucky and did not get sick.
So may you be blessed with one just as happy as mine were.
Love you,
mom
Bring an empty suitcase when you come since I have bought a couple of things for the baby too.
Love ya,
Mom
