Looking on the bright side.

Of course I am excited about having another baby but at times it can be a little frustrating to be pregnant. Like during this pregnany I've had a lot of back/hip pain. It often hurts to walk so despite having a couple of free evenings, and even an offer of free tickets to go to the Festival of Trees (one of my favorite holiday traditions) we didn't go this year. And then there are comments about pregnancy. Like the one from a woman at church. She said that she is due in March (her first baby) and I told her I was also due in March. She looked at my belly with wide eyes and said, "Really?" with disbelief. "Yes really!" Oh well.

So I'm trying to look on the bright side. At work there was recently a woman who delivered her baby and she was only about as far along as I am. They couldn't stop her labor and her baby was born over three months early. The baby survived and was actually doing quite well for a baby born that early.

At least the baby and I are both healthy and he is still inside. That's what really matters.

Of course the baby still doesn't have a name but that's not uncommon for us. We usually don't have a definite name until a month or two before the baby is due. So maybe in February we will have something.
