Can't sleep but I'm so happy

I've been up since 4:30 this morning. Right now it's 5:45. I have the legs of my 26 week baby in my belly, still safely inside, kicking up a storm. Doing some yoga or something, he is stretching! He is flexing! He is active.

Meanwhile, on the outside, I have the legs of my growing seven year old boy stretched across to my side of the bed. He sleeps in my room fairly regularly now, and I wouldn't pass this up for anything. I love the extra snuggles. I know these days are numbered.

Both of my boys are happily, contentedly snuggling against me and I wouldn't change any of it. I lay here in the dark quiet of night which became morning, the whirring white noise of the air conditioner drowning out any other noise. I have glimpses of the world outside in the cracks around my window blinds. The sun is rising, and daylight is here. Soon we will wake up, too. We will leave our warm cocoon and go out into the bright light of day. Soon Sam, too, will join us. I eagerly look forward to that day. But I will always cherish these quiet, cocooned moments with my boys, when my body and my presence was their protection and their comfort.

We booked a hotel on priceline but in the future I will just book with the hotel directly to use my Hilton honors points. When we got into the city we went to our hotel to drop off our suitcase and we were fortunate enough to be able to check in early we relaxed for a few minutes before we headed off towards times square and then the world trade center memorial. While we were in times square we went to the tkts window to get Broadway tickets out of discoun...

My meds, my experience and my faith 💗

I'm not the most eloquent writer but I want to record my experiences and the meds I am taking.

I doubled up until 8 1/2 weeks to 400mg. *Lovenox 40 mg every night due to recommendation from Dr Hamersley *Vitafol OB prenatal with iron added *** Vitamin B6 and Unisom.
