This Morning I went in for another prenatal checkup... and I had to wait a LONG time... more than 1 hour before I saw brother Milke... I was getting really impatient. But of course he came in and apologized so I had to forgive him

As usuall, I was measureing big. I told Mike how long I pushed last 2 times with Jacob and Timothy and he said our goal is to not push for more than 1 hour, and he would avoid episiotomy and aim for no tearing. Of course that's great news to me.. last time I was cut but still tore all the way... hopefully this time it will be much smoother. He ordered a high-level sonogram for me(next Monday 6/19 at 11:30am) at another Dr. office (Dr. Grame?) I guess he was a little concerned, but I really think the baby is normal size, just my tummy that's big.  But I always love the opportunity to see baby on the screen and to make sure she is doing ok in there.

Brother Mike will try to go to summer training but he said he will schedule my delivery anyway and he will be there to deliver my baby FOR SURE! What a relief. I don't want any other stranger doctor to deliver my precious baby. He said Garland Baylor has a policy that no one should be induced before 39 weeks without a medical reason. But Mike thinks if the baby's size is too big, it IS a medical reason, hum... sounds like he will deliver me before 39 weeks :))  I can't wait! I just pray Acacia will be big enough by then and comes out all healthy. I am sure she will be. And a 7 lbs baby sounds great to me !!

Also saw sister Beth at Mike's office. She is such a sweet sister. She said her daughter Sarah can do massage for me... but I am not sure if I want to call her, I don't know her very well, and might not feel comfortable enough to ask her to do free massages for me. We will see. My aches and pains are pretty standard now. I am getting used to it. What I can't stand is not being able to find a comfortable position at sleep so I have to toss and turn.. and of course go to the restroom like 20 times at night !!  But I know I should be patient. Time is not much left for Acacia to stay in my tummy and I will for sure miss being pregnant.

Acacia is moving so much lately, I think she has reached my rib cage already and sometimes she kicks my ribs, sometimes she jumps, stretches... still a very amazing feeling for me to feel her inside. Timothy and Jacob love to touch her from my tummy and guess what body part they are touching. I let them draw on my tummy just now... it's very cute, Jacob drew a flower, Timothy drew a butterfly, and they wrote words like Acacia, Jacob, Timothy, sister to fill my tummy. It looks so cute. I am glad they are already bonding with their baby sister before she comes out.

It's getting so hot here. This morning after my checkup I took the boys to swim. They had a good time but I was so hot watching them "on shore". Next time I should jump into the pool with them as well. But it's so much trouble to change clothes afterwards. Jacob had a bleeding nose before swimming and I had to wipe his face with a towel... I hope the cleaning staff won't be scared when they saw blood on the towel.. oops sorry!
