MOMMY
Symptoms of Week 4-
- Morning Sickness ~ Most days I have been feeling sick. In fact this was the first sign something was up. On Sunday I was making Macaroni salad and the smell of sweet pickles and pimentos made me so nauseous. So we picked up a test and sure enough BFP (pig fat positive)
- Cramps- Just over all bad feeling in my lower abdomen.
- Headache
- Mood Swings- Andrew gets under my skin quicker and I am not sure if it is the pregnancy if he is just being a brat. Patrick is being extra lovey I don't know if he senses what's going on or just teething.
Krajewski Family
- DADDY- Seems to be more content with your arrival as the time goes on. We are still on the fence about the prenatal care, and weather we do an OB or midwife and home birth. We may still be able to do a home birth, but not do our vacation.
- ANDREW- Remembers when mommy had Patrick in her tummy, and seems happy to be getting a new baby. However he has his moments where he wants to be a baby and crawls around being a "baby".
- PATRICK- Has no real clue about any of it. I think he is teething, and sleeping through the night isn't happening.
THOUGHTS:
I am hoping that we can use a midwife this time around and you can be born at home, but we will end up doing what ever we need to do. I guess I am not too worried about you coming too fast to get to the hospital because I do tend to have long labors and have been induced with both other pregnancy's. I guess my main concern is breastfeeding this time around, because it still hasn't worked out too well, but I will start picking up items for that and some more baby items as we go along. I guess if we have to go doctor then I can buy a few more things for after baby is here. I guess we will just labor at home longer and then maybe take a childbirth class in natural child birth. I just don't know what to do. I guess I am worried that if there was an issue at home we might not get the help we need, but I am concerned about the hospital. Maybe Kevin and I need to sit down and really talk it out again a decide what we thing is the best course of action to have this baby. I know an epidural concerns him and I don't want another one. Where ever this baby is born it will be drug free. Maybe a water birth in the hospital would be a good option. I am starting to wonder about a midwife at Sunnyside might be a better option for us. I just don't see $ 4000.00 dollars in our budget. Kevin is making me crazy I am now worried about how we are going to be able to do this birth thing. Now I wander if it was a good time. In a Perfect world I think I'd take a home/ water birth with a midwife.
Until Next Week! Keep growing little baby. Kisses Mommy
