Anyway while doing a little online research for info on one of the names we've chosen, I came across this wonderful video, a reminder of what the Lord did in the Hebrides in the the 1950s. It's a lovely video, hope you'll enjoy it:

Hebrides Revival
I can be organised at times, I know that's hard to believe. One of the things I like to do BEFORE baby arrives is get the birth announcement as ready as I can (not knowing the gender, weight, length, date of birth). I usually write an explanation of the names we've chosen to send to family after the baby's born so I make these in advance, one for a boy and one for a girl, we're ready whatever happens!

32 weeks and counting..
Well I'm 32 weeks pregnant now and just counting down the weeks to baby #2. For two weeks in February/March we had Grandma come to stay and help us get more organising and preparation done before the baby gets here. I've started non-stress tests twice a week and will continue to do these until B-day. We're still really praying that we can avoid another c-section and have this baby naturally. Because it's such a short time since Béibhinn's birth they won't induce me so I will need to go into labour naturally as soon as possible. My ob would rather have the baby born at 38 weeks but I'm hoping to hold her off for a few weeks in the hopes that I will go into labour naturally.
Béibhinn had her very first bout of sickness this past week. I decided to join the fun and get sick too (the third time with this nasty cold this pregnancy). Poor Béibhinn was very sick! She had croup and laboured breathing. I spent a few nights on the floor in her bedroom, she only wanted Mama the whole time. She was so sweet and cuddly the whole time she was sick. I'm so glad to see her improving however. She's sleeping so much better and eating us out of house and home again. I'm also very thankful that on her sickest day (and my sickest day) Andrew was working from home and was able to watch her while I slept. And boy, have I done a lot of sleeping this past week! Not only am I sick but I'm feeling really exhausted at this point.
I'm feeling really uncomfortable and my back is hurting big time. I don't remember feeling so uncomfortable with Béibhinn, but this pregnancy has just been completely different to my pregnancy with Béibhinn. Up until now I was ignoring all of the exercises and tips that we learned in our Bradley classes in preparation for Béibhinn's birth. I think I was so deflated by having a c-section after all of that preparation that I'm just fed up and don't want to bother. Now, however I'm finding that a lot of the Bradley exercises and tips, like not sitting on a the sofa, are the only thing that helps relieve some of the discomfort I've been feeling.
I'm also trying to get some of my knitting projects finished! I'm really hoping to get this blanket finished that I'm knitting for the baby. I also have two soakers that need finishing. I was hoping to knit some more but I think that this will be enough! If I want to knit a blanket for each of my babies then I'm going to have to get started much earlier in the pregnancy in future!
The brain is also beginning to fail me these days. Last night totally forgot about my non stress test, I'm really hoping that some day somewhere some of my brain cells will grow back and I'll feel like a new woman again! Until then,don't expect too much of me :)
