Memorial Weekend

Saturday Sam and I decided to have a date day. We had a great day. We went to American Eagle and got some sunglasses for me. Then we went to Snuffers and had cheese fries. They are the best there. After stuffing our faces and our stomachs we were so full we could barely move. We went to see Prince of Persia. It was good. Sam decided on the movie and I think he liked it. After the movie we went to walk around Barnes and Noble for a while. By a miracle only I didn't get anything. Sam on the other hand got 2 huge books by Conan Doyle volume 1 and 2 of the Sherlock Holmes story. I was worn out by the end of the day. I went to bed early.
Today we are suppose to go over to Cory's house to go swimming and cookout. OK it is Memorial Day and yesterday we went to Cory's house and cooked out, swam, Sam and Cory both got a sunburn. Nobody would listen to me when it came to sunscreen. So of course I am the only one ready to go back out into the sun. We had a good time. It ended up being just Cory, Sam, and me hanging out.
Today we are heading back over for more fun in the sun. With sunblock this time. Several couples are going to be there today so it will be nice to have another female or two there. Plus some kids to see what my life will be like in just a couple of months. More cooking out and more food then I can probably eat but I am going to try. Wish me luck! Have a great Memorial Day!

Week 30

I am at week 30! Time is just flying by. I can't believe I only have 10 weeks left if I go to full term. All I want is to have her by term and not go over. I am very uncomfortable. My back is hurting and I can't seem to get comfortable for very long. Sophia is just growing bigger and bigger. She is very active...very active. Besides that I am having a tendency to over do it some days. I keep forgetting that I can't seem to do as much as I used to. I get a little light headed after that it takes me all day to recover. I really have to watch my water intake as well. I think that is what is doing it. Otherwise I am just a time bomb waiting to give birth. I am hoping to start nesting soon. I am grateful that I have the time to do what I want to the house before she comes.

Monday Madness

Today I woke up went and worked out. I did 41 minutes 2 miles on the treadmill. I came home showered, ate breakfast, did 2 loads of laundry, cleaned the kitchen, and paid bills. My Mom is coming over today to help me with the nursery. She just got here so I better get going.

The Weekend

Sam's Mom came into town this weekend. She came in on Friday and left on Sunday. She brought Sam and me a lot of cute things for the baby. Gotta love mother-in-laws they always get the baby a lot of stuff. We cooked out on Friday. Mike and Wendy came over on Saturday we hung out at the house for a little while and then we went to eat at IHOP. I was craving the stuffed pancakes they were good. We left to go back to Mike and Wendy's house in Rhome. Sam wanted to show her what he had been working on. He is adding a room onto the back of the house. We ended up staying for dinner. She left on Sunday morning and Sam went down to their house after he got up. He is helping them move for a couple of days then he will head back. I recouped all day Sunday by relaxing and not doing a thing.

Week 29

Some day I might get this going on the correct date. Until then I seem to be day behind. To Start I feel like time is flying by. Maybe too quickly since I am not prepared this new life at all. Sophia still weighs about 2.5-2.7 pounds. She is about 17 inches long so about 2 inches taller than last week. She is growing eyelashes, adding fat, and developing her brain.( side note I hope not in that order) I am back to being more tired in the middle of the day. Feeling like I could (and sometimes do) need a nap. Total weight gain should be about 19-25 pounds. I weighed this morning but I had clothes on so I am guessing I am at 191. So I think the total is 26 pounds. Now on top of the moodiness I am experiencing I am getting more and more uncomfortable. My back is hurting more often and for longer periods. Thank goodness I have a great friend that is a massage therapist that works on me whenever I need her. She is a blessing from God. Sleeping is hit or miss. In general it is OK but I think the walking for too long or sitting on the couch too long plays a big role in how I feel. I can't believe I only have 11 more weeks. What am I going to do with all that time. I guess I will figure something out like sleep maybe.

Pregnancy Mood Swings

So far this week I have decided that I am definitely getting more moody. There have been several things that have happened over the last couple of days that I have just about lost my mind. What I can't figure out is if I am overreacting or if a normal person would still be agitated about what I was. The more things happen the more I think it is me. For instance, on Wednesday I went to get my my blood drawn. I showed up at 8:19 and there were 4 people in front of me. Now I must remind you that I had to fast to do the blood work so I am hungry to begin with. At 8:40 I went up and asked how long the wait was going to be and she said rudely that she was the only one there. I asked again how long the wait was because lets be frank I didn't care that she was the only one there I just wanted to know how long until I could eat again. She told me 15 minutes. at 9:05 I called my doctor and asked if I needed to do the test that day because I know they wanted the results before my next visit which is next Wednesday. She said I could wait until today if I wanted. To make a long story short I left with 3 people in front of me. Today I went to get my blood drawn and I went to a different location because I didn't want to do deal with that again. I got to the lab place at 8am. Unfortunately I didn't look at the time they opened and they opened up at 8:30am. No problem I can handle that I was the first one there. Then more cars pulled up and when it was all said and down there were 4 of us. No problem I thought... everyone knows I was the first one here so I should be first on the list right? WRONG!! One man got out of his car and stood by the door and man number two got out after me but stood closer to the door than me so when the nurse opened up the door the two men rushed inside and signed in before me. I was thinking to myself (and then to the nurse later) REALLY?? Chivalry must be dead. Lets recap.. first one there, female, pregnant, and to top it all off I was wearing Sam's Marine Corp shirt. All I have to say it what is with people these days. Needless to say I almost said something but decided against it. See I am growing up. Although looking back I kind of wish I did say something. Just because maybe they need someone to remind them that they are not all they think they are.
In general I am feeling myself get very short tempered. I am becoming very childlike when I get tired as well. At least I am feeling this and I know that has to count for something. Poor Sam I blame him. Doesn't every pregnant wife blame their spouse??

Camping Weekend

This weekend we went camping out at Cory's land. We met in town and then headed out to the land. It wasn't bad at night pretty cool actually. Sam made the fire. He likes doing that kind of thing and the others were busy having fun. Of course I was the first one to go to sleep but considering I was up that morning at 5:30am I am proud of myself. I finally called it a night around 1:00ish. Thank goodness there was an RV out there. Sam and I were able to sleep in it and it had A/C. It was rather hot during the day. So while everyone else was trying to put together a deer stand I was in the RV taking a breather. Of course it is not camping at Cory's land without Dairy Queen so went every day. I LOVE Blizzards. I was able to have every flavor I wanted. Sam was really good about it too. He didn't even want a bite I got it all to myself. We stayed to help clean up the site before we took off. We got home around 4ish. We ate and I was tired so I decided to take a nap. Needless to say I woke up this morning at 8am. I think I slept around 14 hours or so. As for this morning I have been doing laundry, making lists of things that need to be done, cleaning, and later running errands. I might head over to Cory's later to take a dip in the pool. AND YES!!!! I am going to wear a bikini because I can. I will take pictures so everyone can see the glorious sight. Until then...

Week 28

Sophia is about 15 inches long and weighs about 2.5 pounds. I should have gained 17-24 pounds. I gained 3/4 a pound this week. I am guessing that puts me at 24-25 pounds. I am a little above average but after it is all said and done it is Sophia that matters. Good news! If Sophia was born from here on out her lungs are formed enough for her to breath on her own. Now she is finishing up forming her organs and start filling in with fat. I love fat babies! Between Sam and me I am thinking Sophia is going to be nice and fit. As she is getting bigger I am getting more uncomfortable. My chair at work makes my butt hurt. My tailbone is going to get bruised soon. She is kicking me all the time or rolling. There is just not enough room for the both of us. I am having a harder time sleeping and getting comfortable. Sam has to help up off the couch and sitting up. I am actually having to go to the bathroom less at night. I am thinking that has to do with me drinking less before I go to bed. I have 3 months left and I have a feeling it is going to be a long interesting ride to the end.

TGIF

Well one whole week of the new schedule and I am exhausted. Sam went over to his brothers house to help build a room onto the house. I actually get the house to myself until tomorrow evening. Just me and Toby. I am looking forward to just relaxing, playing with Toby, and finishing my book. I am going to sleep in tomorrow morning and have pancakes with sausage for breakfast. I would like to take Toby for a walk. That is as far as I have gotten. It is shaping up to be a great looking weekend.

Week 27

So I am in the last stage of my pregnancy. There are 3 different ways to figure out which trimester you are in. If you cut into thirds which is every 13 weeks that would mean I am in my last trimester. Another way is in months which would be 7 months or 28 weeks so I would have one week left for that. Lastly, doctors say 30 weeks is third trimester in which case I have 3 more weeks for that. I am definitely getting more uncomfortable by the day. Sophia is about 2 pounds and 14 1/2 inches long. If she were born now she has a 85% chance of surviving. I gained 3 1/2 pounds since my last doctors appointment. I weighed myself yesterday and I weighed 187. I have no idea how much total weight but I am thinking around 22-25 pounds. The doctor said I should gain about a pound a week from here on out. I started car pooling to work and we are going to workout after work at the gym starting Monday. I am hoping this is going to give me more energy and get me ready of the birth. Besides that I am taking this one day at a time. Today not so bad. I am going to bring my boppy to work to sit on because my chair is uncomfortable after a while. It started to put too much pressure on tailbone. Besides her being up in my right ribs I am doing just dandy.

Ready for Some Sleep

The past two nights I have stayed up way too late and I am so exhausted. All day I was thinking about coming home and taking a nap. My new schedule started today and I was done by 3pm. It was so nice to see the sun. When I got home Sam had dinner ready. Cory came over and I had to head over to his grandparents house so I could hear a speech for his public speaking class. I got back home around 5:30. I am in bed now and it is 7:30 but I actually have been hear a while looking at things on the internet. I am going to read a little bit and go to sleep. It should be interesting since it not dark yet. I have to be around 5:30am. I need my beauty rest and baby rest.

Busy Weekends!

I have noticed that our weekends keep getting busier and busier. We were gone most of the day Saturday running around doing errands. Just everyday stuff but saved for the weekends. Which usually means Sunday is recovery day. Sam and I woke up this morning and cleaned the house and we have been relaxing ever since. I start another new shift at work tomorrow 7-3. I am going to have to change my sleeping habits again. I like the fact that I will have more time at home. I have 65 days left of work if I go through the end of July. I can't believe how fast time is flying. On Wednesday it will be 7 months! 7 months can you believe it! Sophia has been a kicking machine at night. It makes sleeping more interesting. Looking forward to my doctors appointment on Tuesday. I'll let you know what she says.
