Merry Christmas Eve Eve
Currently 30 weeks pregnant and 3 days
Well once again life happens and I've been MIA. So this pregnancy is flying by. It's definitely had its ups and downs but I am finally feeling my best at this stage. It's been a roller coaster but so far third trimester is treating me well. I know everyone says the second trimester is their favorite but so far I disagree. Yes, I loved finding out the sex and feeling him kick for the first time. I also didn't really get extra energy till the last few weeks of the second trimester and took my nausea medicine (that was very much needed) up until 24 weeks. That was the time I stopped sleeping well I knew it would happen but not that soon. Luckily it lasted about a month and I'm sleeping pretty well again. I only get up 1-2 times a night, small victory.
Month 5/6 (November)
At 6 months we had the joyous gluclose test. Your great grandma Marne came so I didn't pass out. I found out that I have 0- blood which basically means I'm a universal donor but can only receive my type of blood. I then was informed that since I have negative blood I had to have injection of RhoGam. It helps stop the development of antibodies to the RH factor. I will most likely be getting another injection after you are tested after birth if you test positive. It was one of those scary moments where they told me I had to get a shot and it was going in my rear (more like hip). I had a couple days to let it soak in. Never Google things like that because it just makes it worse. I took Mimi with me for moral support. Even though she was more scared than me. It was a huge needle and went in slow. It stung a little but thankfully I didn't have any side effects. I also made a call to my doctor to find out I passed my gluclose test! One less thing to worry about. We even had your aunt Ashley take a few photos for our Christmas cards.
Month 6/7 (December)
We scheduled a fun 3D/4D appointment earlier this month. It was amazing. We got a good sense of what you look like. You have a mixture of our noses depending on the angle. It's funny as I remember early on having a vivid dream seeing you look like your daddy and still think there is resemblance from what we did see. It's crazy what God shows you in dreams and how real they are sometimes. It was confirmed that you had lots of hair, toes, fingers, llimbs and completely healthy. That makes this momma proud. You are so active in my belly sometimes I think you are trying to be a kung fu fighter. I love watching you kick and move from the outside. Your Mimi and Poppy both felt you kick for the first time. They are both so excited to meet you and so are we. 
I still can't believe how we got here. Each week flies by. I'm anxious to bring in the new year because it's the year you will be born and we can really start our life as a family of three. The next few months will be filled with family and friends impatiently waiting your arrival. We are so close little one keep growing and letting me know of your existence.
As we continue to celebrate Christmas with family we are reminded of how blessed we are. We don't forget the true meaning of Christmas, the birth of our Savior.
MERRY CHRISTMAS
With love, XOXO
