7 months Pregnant!

I can not believe that I am 7 months pregnant. I am trying to do a post every month so that I have a record of it and so you can see how much I have changed in the last month. I am excited for April to be done and over with. This week is concert week for me, my final concert week of the season, and the Studio Spring Recital is a week from Saturday too! Once these are done I will finally feel like I can RELAX and take it easy for the first time since I have been pregnant.

Monthly facts:

I am suffering from Seasonal Allergies, again, and I can't take anything for it so it kind of sucks but they hit later in the season than normal.

Mason is super ACTIVE! He likes to attack me from the inside out, and flip around, and do all sorts of fun stuff that makes me wince all the time.

He LOVES music! If I play music on my computer he goes crazy. Playing in Symphony and Ensemble he goes crazy for just a bit and then sleeps thru the rest of the rehearsal unless there is a low "boom" then he wakes up and goes crazy! He also likes to migrate to the right side of my belly when I am playing, which is the side that my bell is on. I think he likes the sound. Sometimes he even likes to thrash around to my playing. It is very amusing to feel his movements.

I was sleeping well at night up until just a couple weeks ago, and now I am back to how I was in the first trimester, having to get up all the time in the middle of the night, and I know that it is only going to be getting worse.

I also just started to have lower back pain too which isn't fun but I know that my body is doing what it is supposed to and is getting ready for what will happen in 2 months.

Also my belly just totally shifted in the last week. It is lower and more full now than it was last week. I feel like I actually look pregnant now and not just carrying around a little extra fluff.

Archer is also adjusting to being a big brother. He has been super protective of me over the past few months, more so than normal and he really does like kids. A friend of mine brought her little boy over and he is 9 months old. Archer went an got his fav toy and brought it for the little boy to play with him. It was totally cute!

Well, that is all I can really think of for now. I am really enjoying being pregnant. All these crazy changes going on with me are amazing to experience that the human female body can do them for just a short amount of time and then go back to how it was after the baby is out. It really is a miracle the process of making a child. I am so thankful that I get to experience this for myself! Till next time!
