JellyBean is finally back to her old self.
The doctor said that she might have stomach cramps even after the other symptoms were gone, and that might affect her appetite. She recommended a teaspoon of Mylanta a few times a day, so yesterday JellyBean drank her dose, and immediately asked for breakfast. She ate well all day, and even requested water to drink.
Just in case I needed more reassurance, I was upstairs reading your blogs when I heard the shrieks from downstairs: “Mine! Mine! Share! Shaaaaaaarrrrre!” JellyBean and Sweetpea were debating ownership of a coveted book (Karaoke Kid Songbook, if you really want to know).
It takes energy to be selfish. I never thought it would make me so happy.
***************************************
Last night I started having contractions fifteen minutes apart. They have eased this morning, so it may not mean much, but I can see the finish line. I am a little worried about finding someone to take care of the kids – a few friends and neighbors have volunteered, but mid-week could be difficult for them. We will find someone, I’m sure, but I am anxious.
If I go to the hospital, I have left Az instructions on how to post the good news of the birth. I am not sure if he will post the name we choose; he may prefer me to find an oblique way to inform you of our choice, and he does not know how to link or post pictures. But one way or another, you will see our new bundle of joy when she comes, even if you have to wait a few days.
Thank you all for your prayers. They have been much appreciated.
I’m happy with you that they were fighting. A good sign of health.
Everytime I see your name bold in Bloglines I think “Is it Veronica? Or Az?” I’m so glad that he will let us know when the new babe has arrived. And I’m glad that you are almost there!
YAAY! The end is in sight
Can’t wait for the good news. Glad that JellyBean is back to her old self too.
BTW, for your info, my 10 year old thinks that Violet is THE most beautiful name in the world. If only I had had the foresight to name her that! (in which case, of course, she would be wishing her name was Sally.)
It does take energy to be selfish; I’m glad she’s on the mend.
I’m sure everything will work out with the kids when you go into labor. Finally. I know exactly what all those ‘false alarms’ are like. It can get rather frustrating, especially when you just want it over with at the end of the pregnancy….
Looking forward to seeing pics of the new wee one!
I am so glad she is feeling better and you can put this bout of illness behind you. Rest up as much as you can and good luck! Wishing you a quick and easy birth and happy and healthy baby.
Yea! Wishing you good health on the big day!
I check your site well, many times a day. You’re in my thoughts!
Oh, good, good, good! I’m so glad that your girl is well and so glad that your baby is that much closer to being in your arms.
I am so excited about your birth. I am sending you good birth-juju through the Internet! Here’s to hoping the rest of your pregnancy can be relaxing and stress free!
