We are down to 30 days, where did the time go? Well where ever it went, it took all of my energy and motivation with it. I am completely and utterly exhausted and the real work hasn't even begun yet. LOL! So much has happened since the last time I wrote.
Our furniture came in and we have it all set up. I got as far as to put the mattress in the crib (without the mattress pad or the sheet) The dresser is sitting empty. My excuse..well the drawers need to air out before we put Jacob's clothes in it. Um yeah, we've only had it since 8/23. I've done 1 load of Jacob's clothes so far. It was all I could do to get them in the wash, switched over to the dryer and brought upstairs, they still sit in the laundry basket. haha.
I've been blessed with family and friends who love me and have had 2 of my 3 showers so far. The first was thrown by my aunts, and it was so much fun. They made sandwiches and used cookie cutters of feet/hands to shape them. We played a smaller version of the poopy diaper game, word scramble and draw a picture of a baby. My Aunt Sue made a naked baby out of fondant frosting and it was on the cake, too cute. The 2nd shower was thrown by my best friend Kyla. She worked very hard and it was amazing. We played the bigger version of the poopy diaper game and she put together cd's with baby songs on them and baby bottles w/ candy for the favors. There was a vase with blue roses (the roses were made out of baby socks, too cute) I got a diaper cake which looks soo cool. She even made me a cd with all the pictures she took, she's an amazing photographer. I had a great time. My 3rd shower is being thrown tomorrow and Carol, my mom in law is throwing this one for all of Brian's side. I can't wait to see everyone and I know that I will have a lot of fun.
I went back to the doctor's about 2 weeks ago, everything was still looking great and I had zero weight gain. This coming Monday I go back and I can guarantee I will have gained and it will probably be more than the 2 lbs I usually gain. Despite being tired, my appetite is still going strong. Yippee!
We do have pics to share of the nursery so far, the showers, gifts etc, but I haven't had a chance to upload them. I've also turned into the biggest procrastinator in the world. There is so much to do and so little time. 1 more week and then I'm full term and it's fair game. Jacob can make his appearance any time.
We still need to pack my hospital bag, install the car seat and have it checked, get everything put away in the nursery, hang up the blinds, valance and Jacob's name, put the bar back up in the closet so put away the clothes, put the bedding in the crib, CLEAN THE PIGSTY of a house we live in, stain the closet doors, finish the trim in the closet, stain the bedroom door.
How am I feeling? I feel ok despite being tired. Sleeping has become quite the challenge these days. I can't get comfortable on either side, my hips either fall asleep or they ache horribly. My left side is the worst (but supposed to be the best position to sleep in) because my sciatic nerve bothers me on that side. If I sleep on my back I have a hard time breathing. I'm feeling guilty that we have so much to do and aren't getting it done. I'm nervous that in a month's time, we will be responsible for a newborn and at the same time I just can't wait to see what he looks like. I'm sad that I won't be able to watch my belly move around and feel him kicking and hiccuping from the inside anymore. All in all, I have had a really great pregnancy and I'm looking forward to the next one, hopefully we'll get lucky and have a girl =)
