I am now passed my 26th week! Not too far passed, but enough so. Landon is a growing boy and very active! All throughout the day, at different times, Landon has his play sessions and readjusts himself, then falls back asleep. I wish I could know what part of him Im feeling when he comes up to the surface of my belly! Its like...I dont know if that is both of your knees, your tiny little head, feet? Maybe as more time goes on I will be able to tell more...he's probably still too small for me to figure it out. I dont want to hurt him, but I think he is pretty safe in his bubble and I want him to know that his mommy thinks about him and loves him.
Landon is quickly approaching another milestone. In a couple of weeks we will be entering the last stage: the third trimester!!! Crazy how time flies and I am so happy to know that from everything, thus far he is testing out to be a healthy baby. In fact when Daniel and I went in for my ultrasound at 18 weeks the Doctor said that he looked perfect! I was so happy to get that news.
As for me, I still get my leg freezes...BUT not as much as I was. I talked to my mother in-law weeks ago and we decided it might be best to cut back on my prenatals. I kept getting the advice- get more calcium...more calcium! Yet, that may have been the problem...I maybe had too much within a one day time frame. My prenatals are supposed to be taken 3 times a day and then I have 100% daily value (just from the vitamins) then most days I would have milk at least once a day...sometimes I'd have cheese too, and I was probably getting calcium from other things too! When my doctor kept telling me..more calcium- I would sometimes take calcium supplements on top of whatever else I got from the day!
So back to the conversation with my mother in-law- she suggested that maybe I was getting too much, which would possibly bring on those horrible leg freezes so I cut back my pre-natals and since I did that I have only had one freeze episode! Granted, this time it was in both legs at the same time...but it seemed like it helped!
So now I rest assured knowing that I am getting to the point where if Landon decides to come now...or anytime from this point on, he has a good chance of survival. Do I want him to come out now?...no, because I want him to get stronger and become well developed, but we don't exactly get that choice. He is such a blessing and I know that the minute I see his face I will be overwhelmed with happiness. This is the little boy, God has given me, that I have been dreaming about for years!
