Today I woke up on the right side of the bed for a change! :) I was so restless yesterday; but today I'm able to go with the flow and get some chores done and it feels good.
I had two dreams last night about the baby - and the baby was a boy in both of them!! Aurelio has also had dreams about the baby and it's always a boy...BUT Grandma H is certain it's a girl and she has also predicted that I will deliver earlier than my due date! My midwife has predicted that I will deliver approx 10 days after my "due date" of June 13th...I'm not sure who I want to be right - though as we approach June I'm sure I'll be ready to have my body back.
Baby Reis is practicing moving his/her arms and legs; but has stayed away from my ribs for the most part - which I greatly appreciate.
Aurelio and I watched a Discovery Channel movie last night that takes you from conception to birth inside the womb. It was really neat to see what the baby looks like at the different stages. The new technology (3-D and 4-D Ultrasounds) allow you to see what your baby really looks like - not just the skeleton that the normal ultrasound gives you. Of course most insurances don't cover it - it's about $200 to go get a 3D ultrasound done. We're not going to do it because we want to keep the sex of the baby a surprise...along with it's facial features. The movie contained a lot of information on the growing fetus/baby; one of the things I found interesting was that the baby can actually remember things; such as songs you play frequently and other regular noises. It can also hear the moms voice much easier than anyone else's because everyone else's voice has to travel through all those layers and fluid to get to the babies ears. That's probably one reason why the baby favors me over daddy ;) (Just kidding Aurelio.)
Aurelio reads the baby Dr. Seuss stories at night to get him/her to settle down and let me sleep. It seems to work pretty well; and I'm enjoying a little more shut eye. Regardless, I know the baby is going to love it's daddy. He/she is very lucky. :)
We are taking the baby to his/her's first circus this Saturday! Though, I suppose we shouldn't count it as her/his first since they won't be able to see anything - just hear the noises. I plan on taking full advantage of our last opportunity to go to the circus as a couple and get myself some cotton candy! :) I'm sure next year will be much more enjoyable - and even more so when our child is old enough to really enjoy it and remember it.
We are also planning on going to the Dallas Arboretum again on Sunday if the weather cooperates. We've had a rainy/thunderstorm week and I'm looking forward to the sun. Sunday is supposed to be our first sunny day; so lets hope that holds up and we don't have to wait until Monday to see the sun. Though I'm sure Aurelio would be happy to get out of mowing the lawn this weekend ;).
