This is what I needed 🥰
I’ve had a rough couple of days. I’m 35 weeks but my doctor thinks that I’m going to go into labor soon or I’ll most likely need to be induced because of my blood pressure or my gestational diabetes. So right now my doctor says to be ready by 37 weeks but I just have a feeling that it might be sooner because I can tell my blood pressure has been extremely high today and yesterday. So I’ve been trying to get everything done today and get bags packed and clean everything, and my husband had already agreed to some extra shifts at work so he can stay home longer after little man is born so he couldn’t get help.
So I’m on my own tonight with our toddler which is no big deal, I get him dinner and a bath and we usually go to his room and play with quite toys and read then go to bed, but tonight he didn’t want to play. I sat in the rocking chair and he immediately crawled up and we read a book and he just snuggled me for a good half an hour before falling asleep. He never voluntarily snuggles at night, he usually tries to get off my lap until finally he’s so tired he gives in and calms down.
I don’t usually let him completely fall asleep on me at night but it was just so peaceful and so calming just being able to run my fingers through his hair and not worry about anything else for a while. And have some quality one-on-one time with him before his little brother arrives and things get hectic around here.
