I slept terribly last night. Amazingly that has not affected me at all today.
This morning I did a few things around the house and finally got the baby monitor hooked up. I bought an Angel Care monitor, and had to figure out all the settings on it and see if I could get the sensor pad all hooked up under the mattress. It's gotten great reviews and it's something I learned about from Sandy. There's a sensor the goes under the mattress and when baby is in the crib in continuously checks for movement. It basically detects if your baby is breathing or not. If it doesn't detect movement within 20 seconds an alarm starts going off. I tested it as best as I could by very lightly patting the mattress and it seemed to work. I've read reviews of people having lots of false alarms and others who never have had any. I'd rather have a false alarm though than the alternative. I've also read reviews from people who said that it actually saved their child's life. I think I made the right choice in buying it since I am an excessive worrier.
It was 70 degrees here today, so I decided to go for a walk to try and help make some progress on getting Daniel here. I walked for 25 minutes and had some very strong Braxton Hicks contractions. When Jacob got home he went on another walk with me. This time we just walked to the very end of our street and back. About a street down I got the worst cramp and my whole stomach got hard. I don't know if it was a contraction or not because it lasted for a long time and then I had several BH again after the pain went away. Walking anywhere tends to give them to me I've noticed.
Both grandmas checked in on me today. Now I don't know if we're more anxious, or if they are?!
Jacob treated us to Pizza Hut tonight and now I shall go relax and watch some TV.
