One o'clock, two o'clock, three o'clock, four.

11:45 pm, 2:15 am, 7:30 am, 8:10 am...

Have you guessed yet? Yep, that was my pee schedule last night. Yeah! I am starting to dread what it will be like when my uterus starts to really elbow out my bladder for room. Oh! And the nausea, it's not going anywhere. It is becoming more constant all the time. I mean I love hurking as I am peeing as much as the next gal, but come on!

My husband asked me this morning, as I am fighting nausea and trying desperately to sleep some more, if I needed to move around so much. Not that he is uncaring in the slightest, I just think that they, the dudes, really don't understand just how uncomfortable this whole thing really is. To his credit, he brought me home lilies yesterday, one smell that I can tolerate, go hubby.

So I am thinking that I need to have a doula for this event. I recently moved states and have yet to make friends out here in the country. I have virtually no social support...

Okay, just signed up for two pregnancy "meetup" groups hopefully that will get me started in the right direction. Anyone with any suggestions about where to meet other pregnant women let me know.

We didn't make it to the book store yesterday so we are going to try again today :) Any suggestions on baby books that you have loved?

  1. Sounds like a lot going on here! You better take a deep breath as this is only the beginning! What is a doula?

  2. A doula is an assistant who provides various forms of non-medical and non-midwifery support (physical and emotional) in the childbirth process. Based on a particular doula's training and background, the doula may offer support during prenatal care, during childbirth and/or during the postpartum period.
