4 Mothers, One Family :-)

First off, there has been a TON of movement from Little Sweets the past two days. Right now as I write, I can physically feel my little one stretching and moving around. With every kick and jab, my hand automatically races to my tummy to feel Little Sweets.

I love to rub my tummy and tell Little Sweets 'it's ok sweetheart....'.  I find it hard finding a comfortable position myself, I can only imagine how much more so the baby in that crammed tummy of mine!

Everytime I feel any type of movement, I get just as excited as I did the first time I ever felt Little Sweets move. I could NEVER get sick of this incredible feeling!!

Yesterday for the first time I was actually able to feel a physical part of the baby on the outside of my tummy push through my right side; it felt like a tiny foot!

It was the most AMAZING feeling!!! I held the little bump between my two fingers and felt is slowly move away. I have felt jabs, kicks, punches and full on twists and turns, but I have never been able to actually 'hold' a part of my baby-until yesterday afternoon :-)

I am still up once a night due to 'nature calls'-lol, but it's not 5am each time anymore. It's actually anytime! Anytime between 1am and 6am. I am not complaining though; I know many woman who were up more than once a night!!!

It's almost as if Little Sweets sleeps when I sleep. In the middle of the night, the baby is still as ever. I don't feel any movement until the morning when I wake up for work. The second I open my eyes and stretch to get out of bed, the kicking and jabbing begins. It's like the baby is telling me 'I am awake now too mom!! Time to get the day started!!"- hee hee

I am starting to feel a little sore in my back and feet more recently. No swelling-thank goodness!!!
Sitting at a desk all day at work is really starting to cause discomfort for me. My 'backside' hurts from sitting so long, my shoulders tense up, by back tightens, etc.

I currently sit on stacks of pillows at work to give me more cushion and support, but nothing seems to help. My prenatal instructor suggested I get a yoga ball and sit on that at work. She said it will help tremendously, plus, it will get my body ready for labour!!! Two bonuses in one!!! lol

So, I am picking one up today! lol I told my boss already and she was in complete support. She said "Definatley Devin....I can only imagine how uncomfortable it must be sitting in a desk chair all day!".

I jokingly encouraged my coworkers to do the same so I don't look so silly sitting on a huge ball at my desk, and surprisingly, they agreed! lol They thought it would be a fun idea!!

Since we are the 'Marketing Department' we can get away with doing silly things!! lol It's just the nature of the title and position.

Anyhow, last night my sisters and myself took my mom out for Mother's Day dinner.
It was the first Mother's Day with all four of us being 'mommys'  :-) It was truly very special to me. We all gave each other gifts and cards and enjoyed an evening of reminiscing, story telling and laughter. I felt so honoured to be inducted into the 'mommy-club' with my family.

I wish I had a picture to upload of our evening together, but all four of us forgot to get a picture!! lol Oh well.....there is always next year :-)

Ps. I saw my shower invites for the first time last night!! I was moved to tears!!! My sisters and Rubi did an incrediable job!! They are the most gorgeous, classy shower invites I have ever seen! I am not into the typical baby shower themes of animals and alphabets, so this shower invite totally represnts me!
