Last Night

So before I tell you what happened last night I saw the doctor on Wednesday and she told me that I'm 1 centimeters dilated and she felt baby parts!! Since she was breech she either felt little feet, little toes, or a little booty!

Anyway last night I suddenly had a very strong sore pain at the bottom of my uterus near my pelvic area. It wasn't a sharp pain but an annoying sore feeling. It went on for the whole night but more on my right side as my upper right thigh was also hurting. This went on all night and I had a hard time sleeping. Then when it was time for Kimani to go to work I woke up and realized the pain went away. Then I noticed that I didn't feel her move. I started gently shaking my belly to see if I could wake her. No movement. I was so worried. I went and told Kimani and he said that she's probably sleeping. So I went back in the room and lied on my left side (the recommended side) and after 5 minutes I felt a soft kick. Then 2 minutes later I felt her turn and rotate. Kimani came in the room and I told him. He rolled his eyes and said I told you. She's not going to come this whole way and give up on us. Her mom and dad are strong so she will be stronger. :) I told him that I still had to worry. That's my nature! He said he knew. Then he left a she gave me a hard swift kick to my bladder! Ouch! As if to say "you better not doubt me mom!"

Keira's Movements

Well I have an appointment on Wednesday and because she's been measuring smaller than she's supposed to I get to have more sonograms than usual! At least I get to see her more. Anyway, baby girl moves more and more daily. She even does this thing with her hands or feet that tickle me! I feel it real low like right at my pelvis. She also kicks and punches my bladder or cervix and that REALLY hurts! She likes to move early in the morning and in the evening time around 6-8. Sometimes her dad talks to her and she'll stop kicking... so cute... Well just wanted to update you with what my baby girl is doing so far! Till next time which shouldn't be too long since I'm home more now!

Baby Keira's Room... After

And now the finished product! Hope you like! Of course there are more things we need to add like the rocking chair, changing table pad, curtains. But we're proud of her room so far! P.S. The photos do NO justice to the colors of the room.















And finally a short video of me and hubby talking while he put up the decorations.

Baby Keira's Room... During

I will now post pictures of Kimani (DH) setting up and fixing Keira's furniture. It took a total of 3 1/2 days to complete but we did it! Kimani did most of the work but I helped read the instructions! The best part was when we made her letters. We purchased plain white wood blocks and got creative! We painted, glittered, and foamed the letters in different shades of purple!

Baby's Keira Room... Before

So we've transformed Keira's room from an empty storage room to a nursery! We're so happy and excited. It came out beautiful. Because there are so many pictures I will have a before post and an after post so! Enjoy!...

Waving The White Flag!!

Please don't be mad at me ya'll! I know I've been MIA and I really don't have an excuse for it. I have so much to tell you guys about that I will have to break it up in different posts. This post will be a what's going on post. I'm 28 weeks and 1 day!!! Woot! I'm officially 7 months pregnant with only two more months to go! Time is flying by but still going slow... As of last week Thursday I've been put on bed rest until the birth of the baby! That means that I'm laying up in my bed or couch until October! The reason they put me on bed rest is because the doctor discovered that my cervix is opened. They can't sew it up because I'm too far along in the pregnancy and it can cause an infection to the baby. If for some reason the baby is born today, she will be fine but will need a lot of medical attention as preemies do. We're hoping that she can wait until I'm 34 to 35 weeks at least. That's 6 weeks. I'm upset that I had to leave work earlier than I would have with a normal pregnancy. There's a lot that needs to be done and I feel like I'm leaving work in a bad situation. My boss is still on maternity leave so she would be the only one on top of what's going on. I guess they'll survive. Being put on bed rest made me realize how much we give up for our children before they even realize it...
