Lately...
Thankfully, the contractions have stopped (for the most part). I'm still having Braxton Hicks contractions every once in a while but Noah is safe in the oven. Yay!
The last few weeks have been straining, I'm trying to find a job, dealing with the contractions, and with Eric, who has decided that after a month of silence, he's interested again. I'm afraid this is just a glimpse into what will come for my little Noah.
Recently, I made the decision to change Noah's middle name from Myles to James. I've always wanted to have my dad's name as my child's middle name and I decided that I was going to do that. My dad has really been the only man that I've been able to count on and I want to honor him for being the father to me that he didn't have to be. Noah James is a beautiful name. Noah means wanderer and James means wise. He's my little wise wanderer.
He's kicking all the time, now. I love feeling the little nudges that seem like they're just saying "hey, mom! I'm here!". It gives me a sense of peace because I know he's safe and aware of me. He kicks a whole lot when he hears my voice or Shea's barking.
I already have such a powerful bond with him and I believe that is what pains me about Eric's decisions the most. The bond I share with Noah already is so special and Eric's missing it. It's his choice. I feel like if he truly cared he wouldn't have done the things he did. When he messed around on me, he had to have a little voice telling him that it would mean the end of our marriage and of his being a full-time father to Noah. He told his father right in front of me that he had really thought about what he was doing and was sure of his decision.
I'm excited about getting the nursery ready for Noah. I walk by the room and look at all the clothes I have already and the stroller and car seat and bedding and I can't wait to prepare the room for my special little man.
My cousin Gretchen has two little boys and she's kept all of their clothes and shoes from when they were babies. She lent the stuff to me; 5 Rubbermaid tubs cramed with clothes, shoes, socks, hats etc. It's all 0-12 month stuff. I don't even think he'll be able to wear it all, there's so much of it! And it's adorable stuff that I'll be proud to show him off in ;)
Dear Noah,
Momma is doing everything she can think of to prepare for you, little man! I love you so much and can't wait to meet you!
Love,
Mommy
