Movement and fear

So with the computer down this weekend. I am not making my 365 blog. Sooooooo I will just try my best from here on out.

I read a post by Alicia and I laughed most of the morning. She blogged about her obsessive pantie checking. Come on, you know what I am talking about. Infertility affects you in a different manor and for me it was the same as her. It has now progressed on to an obsession over movement. I am happy that I can feel our little baby girl is moving regularly but it is also a time when if I don't feel her for an hour or so, I freak out. Last night was the worst so far. You see, I had been very active with trying to get the front room cleaned for the nursery for B and last night when I went to bed which is normally a very active time was very quiet. I was very frightened by this. I didn't sleep well because of this. I find myself poking on my belly to make her move so that she will move around. After last night and the poking was not working at all. It took until this morning to feel her rolling and kicking and punching. It was a relief. I am terrified of not feeling her move for a while. It bothers me. I have faith that the Lord is going to keep our daughter safe and healthy, I just can't loose that fear.

Infertility sucks and all who have went thru it know what I mean. It is hard to move past the fear and move past the sense of something going wrong. I will work toward making that better. whew, that felt better to get it off of my chest. Thanks for listening.

I went to the hospital twice while I was pregnant with Bean because I didn't feel him move for a few hours and I freaked out. So, I hear you there.

I too have faith that God has your little girl protected. I can't believe how pregnant you are. it seems like only a couple of weeks ago that you were picking lucky socks!

oh honey. I totally know the feeling. My little Evie is not all that active to begin with, so sometimes it seems like AGES between times when I feel her.. It can definitely be scary sometimes!

That's so true! I had constant "underwear checking" when I was pregnant. My husband was already like...enough already. But old habits die hard, huh?

haha! I am glad I am not the only panty checker! I freak when I don't feel her move too! I am sooo glad for the doppler in those moments!
