no news is good news

Well really I have been sleeping so much I haven't had much time for the computer lately..

I did not get the "shot" at my last appointment with the Doctor. That will come with my next appointment. I did however get the glucose test which has turned out fine.

The baby is moving around a lot these days. Today he tried to go in a direction that he no longer fits so that was a tad uncomfortable.

Since I can no longer reach my feet I hope to get to the nail salon to get a pedicure a little spoiled I know.

I must say take care to lots of friends who will be flying out of the ville on Wednesday headed to San Jose. Don't have too much fun.. And I hope the bosses don't keep you up to late each night this time around.

Need to shout out a happy birthday to the big sis. Saturday is the big day!

Baby update

We recently had our monthly appointment to check on my health, the baby and our monthly question and answer session.

My blood pressure is a little high. Not worrysome just slightly elevated. But other than that everything is looking good. The one bit on news I got that I wasn't really expecting or very happy about is that I am going to be induced a little early. This is due to the shots I have been getting every day. I have to be off of them for a few days before I can have the baby but they don't want me off of them for too long so the Doc will tell me when we will be doing the induction and when I need to stop the injections.

I am now starting bi-weekly appointments with the doctor.

The baby is getting more active every day. Kicking and punching etc. Just wish he would stay off moms bladder.

No really, so far in this pregnancy has been great. Other than still being tired I am doing really well. I still really like being pregnant. I do look forward to meeting the little guy.

Where does the time go?

The nursery is now 99.9 percent complete. Everything is there, well except for a baby...all the decorations and furniture are in the room. The one thing left is for the curtains to be hemmed. Leslie made the curtains for me for which once again I am greatful.

I have now finished all the classes that I wanted to take before the baby arrives. I am glad I got to take them all. Each one seemed very valuable and informative.

I am really enjoying this time before the baby comes. I am getting to know the neighbors better and quickly gaining new friends.

My only wish is that tonight I can get a good nights sleep. But you know what...I can get those again in about 18 years...

It's a boy

It's official. We are having a boy.

Boy or girl

In the morning we go for the ultrasound that will tell us if we are having a boy or girl. I am looking forward to finding out. I haven't been too worried or at least I thought I wasn't. Here it is just after 3 a.m. and I still have not fallen asleep. Oh well I guess I will catch up sometime tomorrow.

I have laid down in bed and on the couch and just nothing is really comfortable tonight. And also the baby picked tonight to be up and kicking mom. This is good and bad. Bad it also kept me from sleeping good that this was the first time I actually felt a kick from the outside not just some mysterious movement inside me.

Also for those of you who know about my nephew Kaden and his struggles since birth, he had a successful surgery yesterday and they think they will have to do a bladder surgery on him but not for another year. So all in all good news.

Here I am sitting in my new chair in our newly painted and bordered nursery. You really can't see it but this picture was taken just after we finished putting together the crib that is just to my right. The walls have been painted a great green and the border hung. We still have the dresser/changing table in my mother's van. It was too heavy for my mother and aunt to carry and the man can't do it by himself. So we are waiting until the man and a neighbor can get together to do it. I am hopeful for tomorrow.

Bored yet?

No. I am not bored. In order to be bored I would need to have nothing to do. The man and I have been busy working on the house and working on the nursery.

I am keeping my famous lists and doing items on the list a day. So we are keeping busy.

This week will continue to be busy. My nephew will have surgery on Wednesday so I will be at the hospital with my family. On Thursday is the famous ultrasound. We hope to find out what the baby will be boy or girl...any early guesses?

Oh and the man did something really special for me on Sunday. I got a mom to be card. It was really sweet!
