11 weeks today, May 31st. 29 weeks to go, give or take. I was unable to beat the morning sickness this time around, though it has been different than the previous two. I am very nauseous almost all of the time and the fatigue is kicking my butt. I have had more breaks from it during the day and small bursts of energy, but I am so over this trimester. 3 more weeks and I can move into the more comfortable and beautiful 2nd trimester.
This week has been quite the rollercoaster. My youngest daughter had an asthma attack over Memorial Day weekend and was hospitalized for one night. It was a scary event, this was her first hospitalization ever and on top of that, the rollaway bed in the room was very uncomfortable. Needless to say, neither of us slept that night. She came home on Sunday and after a few days of medicine, she is doing much better. Now my husband is sick, not sure what it is other than its very uncomfortable for him and we are hoping that its a temporary thing. On top of the illnesses in the family this week, the kids are finishing up school. Selene graduated from kindergarten yesterday and Arwen has an award's ceremony today. Tomorrow is only a half-day and that is it for school until August 29. It's going to be a long summer. By the time it's over, I'm sure I will be nice and plump and swollen and miserable from the heat. My hope is that the girl's find some measure of self-control and help me out more this summer. I have lots of activities lined up for us to do and I'm sure we can fill in those lazy days with trips to the river or just at home doing nothing.
Little baby is doing well, heart beat was 171 at my last appointment. I have even felt him moving slightly. The girls are excited and can't wait to feel him moving too. I say 'him' because we are hoping for our little boy. We have had a boy's name picked out since we got married almost 9 years ago. Here's hoping that our little Donovan will being coming in December. If it's a girl, names are trickier. I don't want a cookie-cutter name and I prefer to have a name that has meaning and personality to it and isn't already overused. We did love the name Maya, which means the creative divinity in the universe, but I have seen it twice already so I'm not sure about it. The other name me and my husband love is Briseis (bre-say-iss). Certain members of my family hate it, but should I really care? It's a beautiful, classic name found in literature. Only time will tell what this child will be called. All I care about is that they will be healthy.
