Eight Months Along

I'm now 34 weeks along (due march 14th). Alekisio was a much easier pregnancy. I was sick for the first four months, and my lower back is killing me now. I know why pregnany women walk like ducks! It's much more comfortable to walk leaning back a little. All the little things that bother me through the day don't matter when I feel her move though.

Alekisio loves to cuddle with her, and gives my belly plenty of hugs and kissses. He was at the doctor with me last month and when he heard her heart he laughed and said she was playing drums. He always "tickles" her and tells her,"wakey, wakey". He's felt her move a few times, he laughs and laughs. He says he has a baby in his belly. Sometimes he puts my hand on it and moves his stomach up and down so I can feel it move. If he has an upset stomach it's his baby hurting. I'm so glad he's excited and not jealous. I hope it continues this way. For me this experience is almost surreal. I know I'm having a baby, but I think I'm scared to have a girl. It's also going to be different not having any family around after she's born. It's going to be an adventure!
