Pregnancy

I loved every second of being pregnant. While you were in the wombs Jessi and Quinn nicknamed you rump/ rumplie, since like rumpelstiltskin you were stealing all my energy and making me so sick ! I didn't have the typical morning sickness, mine would usually start about 10 minutes after dinner, and I would just throw it all up. It was all worth it though. I would be sick every minute of everyday if it meant getting you here safely.  Not only did I throw up a lot, I also started fainting again. I had fainted a few times when I was younger but it ended up happening quite a few times during pregnancy. It was very scary, especially since it always happened while I was at work. Things were going well for while and then around 28 weeks I got kidney stones :(. After that besides the throwing up things went really smooth for a while. Then at 36 weeks you decided it was better to hang out sideways then head down. You eventually made you way head down, but as you will learn later you didn't exactly find the right path.  You were such a mover. We loved watching you stretch and kick. You were especially active during my night-shifts. It was nice to have a constant buddy. You got the hiccups all the time, it was so fun to watch and feel.   I enjoyed all 41 weeks I got with you.
