Today could of been a sad, sad day for my husband Chris. I was busy minding my own business while I thought he was out cleaning the garage, when all of a sudden he busted into our bedroom and found me in the middle of taking this picture (below) to frame in the nursery. Now, what you can't see in this picture, is the color of ribbon tied around my waist. Now, I know what you're thinking - I was only asking for it when taking such an important picture with Chris in the midst. Well, for one, I didn't think it would take me that long to take just one picture. And two, I thought Chris was plenty busy two floors below me. Either way, it doesn't matter. Chris admitted to me that he's suspected the real gender of our baby for the past few months anyways. Apparently I'm not very good at keeping secrets or understating the obvious. Come to find out he figured it out when we were shopping one day at Costco and he noticed I 'diverted more to one gender of baby clothes more than the other'. And here I was thinking I was throwing him off the scent! So, although I am bummed and feel a little guilty I wasn't able to hide his surprise a little better, Chis is not upset in the least bit (which I knew he wouldn't be). If anything, it now makes things easier on us. BUT I'm sorry to say we have decided to continue to keep this secret to ourselves. Don't worry, you'll find out soon enough!
Week 31: One week away from 8 months. 8 weeks away from 40. What a
long, but wonderful journey we have been on, and still 2 more months to
go. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't more than ready to no longer be
pregnant. Walked by a table of margarita mixes at the grocery store
tonight and my mouth started salivating at the pure sight. Long days of excruciating back pain have now been accompanied by
dizzy spells, which makes it difficult to be up and around. Breathing can be very challenging, even when just sitting. Which reminds me, I never
mentioned how my glucose test I took at 28 weeks turned out. Luckily my
glucose levels were normal (whew! no gestational diabetes for this
girl!) but my iron levels were significantly lower than they should be.
So my lightheaded-ness could easily come from that. I am to take 325 mg
of iron a day! That's 4 pills! Plus my regular prenatal vitamin, fish
oil vitamin, anxiety medication, and my progesterone (twice!). I've
started a nice little cocktail of pills. I usually prefer moscato wine
for cocktail of choice, but I suppose these will have to make do for
now. Other than that, I've been feeling pretty good. I really should not
be one to complain. These past few months I've been blessed with
nothing but minor complications where there could be much worse! Lil'
bean is always on the go and sometimes I have to stop and talk to the
belly asking "What exactly are you doing in there?!?" Movements are
never painful or uncomfortable. I have yet to feel any major jabs to
bodily organs, like I've heard from other pregnant people I know. I have
felt Bean kick up in my ribs once, but it was more ticklish than
hurtful. Now don't be getting any ideas sweet baby!
I'm super excited for these next few weeks as I continue to prepare for my mom coming into town to jump start the nursery (I finally bought our crib!! Craigslist, of course) and also my first baby shower!!! Yippee!
