Practicing...

Many people, mothers and non-mothers alike, have informed me that I will never get any sleep/rest after the baby comes.  While I appreciate their advice, I've already been waking up every 2-3 hours thanks to the frequent bathroom trips during the night.  The difference between now and later is that I don't stay up longer than a couple of minutes to do what I need to do now.  Hopefully I'll be able to take advantage of the "sleep when the baby sleeps" mentality and adapt to my new schedule.  I'm actually looking forward to it, being a mom that is =)

On another note, the baby has been "waking up" at regular intervals now.  Strange feeling, it is.  It'll wake up and move around during breakfast, lunch, and dinner times and even sometimes in the middle of the night.  I find it so endearing and precious that our growing baby has a schedule already that I'm starting to get used to.  And let's not talk about the types of movements that causes my belly to distort towards the left side.  I'll start to feel some tightness and then slowly the distortion begins, usually on the left side and about the size of a nectarine.  Head?  Butt?  Whatever it is, I love it and I love to connect with it and feel it's hardness and shape <3 It weirds the husband out but he still enjoys those moments we both share with our LiL One.
