I often wake up around 2:00am and can’t get back to sleep until 5:00am. Yay for third trimester! I’ve read that it’s my body’s way of getting me ready for those upcoming sleepless/feeding/crying/diaper changing nights. Bye, sleep. I miss you already. See Week 30
He was sleeping when we went in for our 4D ultra sound on Valentine’s Day. Sleeping! He’s so active most of the time, but happens to be sleeping at our appointment. What? He’s already not cooperating and he hasn’t even muttered his first “NO!” at me yet.
At first he had his hand up over his face, but thankfully he moved it down so we could get some video and pics of his face. He’s already head down in the ready position, which may partially explain my early contractions. He wants to come out and play already!
I did it. Why not? What can it hurt? I was doing so many other things that I figured I may as well incorporate this as well. You can feng shui out your home or office for all kinds of things in life, so why not fertility? It was really simple. I just googled ‘feng shui fertility’ and followed the suggestions as best I could which included instructions on the direction of Joe’s head when he sleeps (funny, right?). Thankfully our bed was already sort of set up for this position so there was nothing to rearrange or do here.
Getting my home feng shui ready was mostly just about moving things around into different areas of the house. One thing I did have to find was a hallow piece of bamboo, which luckily we have growing in our yard so it was easy. And instead of buying a picture of a dragon (for Joe’s side of the bed) and double fish (for the SW sector of the house which happened to also be my side of the bed), I just found pictures online, printed and framed.
One big thing I couldn’t follow, was to remove fire objects from the west sector of the home. Umm… there’s a big firecplace on that wall? So, that was just going to have to stay and the feng shui was going to have to work it’s magic anyway.
I love that it’s called “baby chi”. So cute. And I’m sure there are way more in depth instructions and ways to get really, really into the feng shui thing. But I just wanted to cover the basics and didn’t want to spend a lot of money or time to create a little baby chi in the home, so this worked for me.
Now I just need to think of what my next feng shui purpose will be. I wonder what direction Joe’s head will have to be in while he sleeps for that one. =)
These two LOVE to lay in the sun. What dog doesn’t? What’s funny to me is that they have this whole big doggie bed… yet Stella always lays on the edge and Pixie likes to cuddle up right next to her. They are just so funny cute sometimes.
Pulled and stretched. It feels like I can’t possibly get any bigger. I often feel I’ve reached the maximum my body can stretch, but unfortunately, I know that’s not true.
The baby is expected to double in weight between now and my due date which is 10 weeks away. AND at the last ultra sound we found out he is BIG for his age. He already weighs 3lb 14oz and he has a big head. BIG HEAD! Already? So Hollywood of him. He hasn’t even been to his first audition yet.
Would you like to push that bowling ball out or have us surgically remove it? Hmm… c-section anyone? See Week 29
