Dear New Baby Girl,
Today is election day. The fourth time I've been able to vote in a Presidential election. I voted and neither of the candidates are someone I want for you in the future. I at least knew how I wanted to vote in the past elections. But not so much this time around. One is a lose cannon that scares me. The other is a corrupt politician from whom we can only expect more of the same crap we've already been dealing with. But I can only hope that better things come than I expect. The message at church this week was about praying for God to use whoever is elected for the greater good. And that's what I'm doing. I voted the only way I could and now we wait.
I also had a doctor's appointment today. It was more exciting than a regular appointment, just like today is more exciting than a regular day. I had to drink the glucose sugar drink to test me for gestational diabetes. So I did that, and had to have my blood drawn. They couldn't find my veins! The one nurse stabbed me THREE times before she gave up and had someone get the blood out of my hand. That was less painful at least... Sheesh. AND they gave me a shot in my butt, which I do NOT remember having before. I must have, according to Dr. Lown but I feel like I'd remember that. Oh well! It was a rough day but I got through it ;)
Anyway, we are getting more and more ready for you. I'm in my third trimester now (time sure flies) and I'm starting to get more and more uncomfortable. I'm trying not to gain as much weight as last time but it'll be hard being that the holiday season has arrived (yay for Christmas shopping, at least!). Also, I've been waking up so often to pee. I can usually fall back to sleep so that's good. I just hope that we'll get lucky like last time and I'll be able to sleep better once you come than I got to just before Julie was born. Prayers for that ;)
Love you little one. Your kicks are starting to hurt when you get a really big one in... you must be a tough little thing already!
Love,
Mommy
