It's getting cloooseerrr

I am starting to get more and more excited and I can't wait! I still feel like I have an awful lot to do:
-still better organize the room
-wash the clothes and sheets and stuff
-get a 4 door car, make frozen meals
-install a car seat
-do a couple school projects ahead of time

who knows what else. I REALLY hope i do the whole crazy nesting thing. Some people scrub their ovens and shit, I hope to god that will be me!

Ruth hasn't sent me any pics from the photoshoot, but a preview. Please keep in mind they are supposed to be artsy, and we had nowhere to shoot them :) Also, I am photoshopped! Here is one:

My chunky chunks!

I had a sonogram done today, 32w6d, but he measured 33w3d, putting him at a due date of november 22. They said he is 4 lbs 12 oz, and face down! I think its normal for them to be face down at this point though. I have a feeling he will be due Nov 2....still making him a scorpio ;)

My last doctors visit they said my iron was low, so I just started taking more iron today. I didn't feel bad, but lately I have been getting out of breath and my head pounds easily when I move and get tired, my lips looked blue the other day (but now I think its just the lighting), so I decided I'll take the iron. I just really didn't feel like more constipation. I have my next follow up appt. next week and we'll see what they tell me from the ultrasound, prob nothing special.

My baby shower this weekend was great, I had a lot fun and got lots of stuff! I also got to do my maternity pics (thanks to Ruth).

I have been sick since last friday though, and its mostly my sinuses and it sucks. I can't smell or taste anything, which sucks I didn't get to enjoy my cake as much as I would have normally!

Anyway, here is the pic of my chunky chunks, I think he looks beaauiitffulll and I can't wait to meet him!!!

Fat Face

I officially have a fat face. Happy 32 weeks to me! Baby could be born in 4 weeks and be completely healthy! :)

Why couldn't my fat face wait one more weekend? I am excited about my baby shower this weekend.

My birthing class is scaring the shit out of me. I never really thought about it too much before, but now I am forced to! Ahhhh!

Baby Room

We painted the wall behind the crib baby blue and have the crib and dresser all set. I can't wait for the baby shower, I am excited and nervous. I finally decided on a bedding set! Here it is :)

Just one of those dayyysss

I am feeling a bit down today, even though I am at 31 weeks and should ecstatic! I have no ability to concentrate on anything anymore, which is a normal part of pregnancy, its just annoying. Sometimes a patient will be talking to me and I'll be looking straight at them and then I come at them with the "huh?" all because I wasn't listening, and I don't even know where my mind was! I am sitting here trying to do this homework and I can't concentrate and it's annoying. I don't want my last semester in school to be bad grades when I've only gotten one C during college :( I really have to try harder...

Tuesday I had my first lamaze class though. Mike and I were the youngest in there and I think the only ones without a ring- and actually, he's the one that pointed that out, I didn't even notice or care! I think thats hilarious. I know I'm smart and bla bla, I know my situation and I no longer really care what people think of my pregnancy. We had to split off in groups and come up with 10 things that are good about pregnancy and 10 things that are bad. In our group, NO ONE talked, we literally sat there staring at each other. I am pretty shy myself (sort of?)but it was way too awkward sitting there in silence so I jump started the talking and I was the one writing stuff down, so it was fun :) You learn a little about yourself every year. The class should be interesting, and I am thankful for it. I take my tour of Shady Grove this sunday, and then breast feeding class starts late next month.

I am now at the point where I go to the doctor every two weeks. I can't believe I'm so close, yet so far!! I could have the baby technically in 5 weeks and have a perfectly healthy baby :)

We got the crib and we got a matching dresser. I can't wait till the baby shower so I can really organize the room and get everything together!! I am very excited to meet him!

This is the boring part

Almost 30 weeks and things are about to start getting uncomfortbale and boring (pics taken at 28 weeks and some days). I already am starting to wake up every couple hours to pee...ANNOYING!! We ordered the crib though:

Now we just need a dresser to match and a glider! I still need to pick out a bedding set or get it together with a theme.

AWWW my dad is here to fix my computer and he brought me FLOWERS!!! I COULD CRY!!! :)

New Realization

I am only 12 weeks away (maybe less) from no longer being able to be selfish. My existence and everything I do from then on will be for someone else, someone I helped create. Someone that will one day like you and me, become a person in this wolrd with his own friends, his own problems, his own joys.

People always ask if I'm scared or nervous and the answer is still nope, not at all.
