Hi Baby Joey!
We have had a long week so far. You just plain don't like me doing a whole lot. If I pick up Elijah, I get cramps now. Your daddy is having to take over the hard work and I am trying not to pick up your brother so we can keep you in there cooking. Unfortunately, it leaves me with a really heavy heart. It makes me sad because I love playing with your brother but I have to balance that with keeping you safe for 3 more months. We will all just have to work together to keep you healthy. We don't see Dr. Bonebrake until next Thursday but I did call them to let them know how much cramping I am having. They wanted me to take it easy this weekend and let them know if it continued/got worse. It hasn't because I have tried to be really good. I will be relieved to see you, see that you still have all of your amniotic juice and know that you have made it to 25 weeks. Unfortunately, with all the cramping, I am now back to being that pregnant mom counting down to 24 weeks and praying that you won't be born until June. I thought we were past all that but I guess the cramping has been a reminder that we can't take anything for granted.
Outside of the bad things, I have to tell you that you are more active than any other baby I have carried! You move a ton more than I remember Elijah moving. You are all over the place and you are even interrupting my sleep - I can't sleep for lots of reasons but now, one of them is because you are too active! Last night, I had a a dream that you were kicking me so hard that I was in pain. I have a feeling it was happening in real life and just seeped into my dream. You are kind of violent to your mama. Maybe that is a good sign that you are getting it all out now and you will be mellow when you get here. If it is the opposite, we are going to have problems :)
Well, buddy, let's make a deal that you will stay in there and keep all that amniotic juice in tact. Also, I would really like to cut you some sort of a deal that you will give us a good photo next week. I hope it is our 3d visit and we can finally see a good shot of you.
Talk to you soon!
