Well I just read my friend Melanie's blog, and I realized how many times I have written to keep people up to date. Not a lot! I also realized that my blogs were not near as fun nor happy as hers. So, not to copy her, but to update on that happy times of pregnancy here I go. Hopefully it will get me out of the uncomfortable, weird mood I'm in.
Things to be happy about right now:
1. I am 33 weeks tomorrow! I can't believe how time has flown and how soon we will get to meet our cute little girl.
2. We just had a shower and were blessed with all these wonderful baby items. She now has really cute (pink) clothes and shoes and hats and the practical stuff of life. I can't wait for her to get here so I can dress her in all her outfits even though half of them will be spit up on, I am still excited!
3. We will most likely get to meet our little girl a week early! Our little angel is happily sitting breech (complete breech because our baby doesn't do anything halfway). Dr. Owen said she doesn't want me to get near to going into labor so we will find out next week if we are planning a c-section for the week before her due date. That means 6 weeks!! I know she can still flip, but the odds go down daily as she grows and my belly isn't giving her a whole lot of wiggle room.
4. If I have a c-section, I won't have to go back to work for the rest of the year, meaning I will be home with my little girl from March until August! What a blessing that would be!
5. I don't have gestational diabetes, even though I was borderline. All that means is that I ate too many sweets and our baby got fat :) Now I just have 1 sugar thing a day and substitute with the good kinds of foods like nuts and fruits. It's been difficult on some days (just ask Michael) but manageable. I want our little girl to be healthy. Besides, I lost two pounds from the last weigh in because of my cutting back! Oops!
6. Our nursery/office/guest bedroom is almost put together. The office and bed are all ready and we are putting the finishing touches on our baby bedding this weekend. Hopefully we will have it up soon to be able to take pictures.
I think that is all for right now. When people say they get pregnancy brain, they weren't kidding. I can hardly remember do turn the straightener off ( which I forgot today), let alone the lessons for the students. Sometimes I forget that they ask questions and don't even respond! It's super crazy! Fortunately, they are amazing and they put up with all my craziness! I have great students this year! Michael has been super supportive and we are enjoying the birthing classes. We are the least serious of the class but it's fun to learn all the stuff that will happen together. He has gone above and beyond to help out around the house and keep me fed! I think I am eating more than him now! We are both excited to meet this little one! He keeps rubbing the belly to see if she'll flip for him. Sadly, she is stubborn. Oh well, she has our genes and that isn't surprising. Now the only thing we need is for Michael to get a job and we will be set for the upcoming year.
