8 weeks left?????

I know it's been awhile since I've updated and I apologize for that. Things have been so crazy busy around here. I'm getting a good taste of what it will be like when Jacob's here, minus the baby of course. hahaha

Good news first............I don't have gestational diabetes, whooohooooo!!!!!! I kinda thought I was in the clear when I hadn't heard from the doctor and she confirmed that for me today. She did say to still keep an eye on all the sweets. Weight gain = 2lbs. Not bad, not bad. Very pleased with that news as well. I'm feeling a little out of whack these days. I can't get comfortable for the life of me in any position, lying down, sitting, standing. Even though it's much more difficult to sleep through the night, I'm finding myself napping in the evening (which is something I never do). I spent $50 on a damn Snoogle pillow only to be using a regular pillow between my knees. And believe you me, I'll never live that one down. hahaha. I'm already feeling a lot of pressure down below and I hear that will only get worse, yippeee!!!

My mom got to go with me today to the doc appt. It was so cool to share the experience with her. She was able to hear Jacob's heartbeat, which is still in the 140's and stronger than ever. I'm so lucky to have her in my life. I don't know what I'd do without her. Loveyou Mom!!!

Jacob is really moving around in there these days. Last week, while at my parent's house for dinner, he kicked my mom. She had her hand rested on my ginormous belly and was talking to him. Before I could say be patient, he'd kicked her like 3 times in a row, as if to say "hey lady, kindly remove your hand from my momma's belly." It was too cute. He kicked Brian in the head this morning as Brian laid his head on my belly while talking to Jacob. The look on Brian's face was priceless, I had to laugh.

Can you believe there are only roughly 8 weeks left???????? Seriously, where did the time go? I feel nowhere near ready to have a baby come live with us. Yeah, there are only a few more pieces of trim to stain, but our furniture hasn't arrived yet. It should be here before the end of August, so I don't know why I'm so panicked, but I am. I've decided not to do the stencils of Mother Goose on the wall, I'd rather not have Mother Goose overkill. Instead we're going to put Jacob's name up on the wall above his crib. I have started to paint the wooden letters that we'll be using, they look pretty good. Once they are complete, I'll post a pic. In the meantime, I'll try to find a pic to show you what I'm talking about.

So I think that's about it for now. Tomorrow, is my last day of work before my vacation. So I'll try to get some more stuff done so that I can take pics and show them to you all. No, I'm not out on maternity leave just yet. Apparently any vacation time that I scheduled for this year, I have to take. Never mind that it was scheduled in January before I knew I was pregnant. No biggie, I need a break anyway.

Pray that this little bean stays in the oven longer, we need him to bake as long as possible, no matter how uncomfortable I am. Hugs and kisses to you all.
