Update 10/25/11

How far along: 33 weeks, 49 days to go!
Size of baby: The size of a honeydew!
Maternity Clothes: Nothing new recently!
Gender: Baby Girl!
Movement: Lots and lots!
What I miss: My energy!
Cravings: I'm not really craving much of anything.
Symptoms: A lot of aches and pains going on but nothing serious!

UGH! Where has all of my energy gone?! I was feeling pretty good for a while. The mixture of cooler weather and my Little Miss kickboxing really lifted my moods. But now I feel like all of my energy has just been zapped out of me! It doesn't help that I have been sick with a cold for 2 weeks but still. I have been getting PLENTY of sleep and have been drinking a ton of water. I just have NO ENERGY!

I'm also getting more and more nervous as the days pass on. My husband said to me last night, "I just don't think you're going to make it to December. Actually, I don't think you're going to make it to the baby shower!" WHAT?! He says he has a feeling that Little Miss is going to be here a lot faster that we thought. I hope he's wrong!

The baby shower isn't until November 20th, 3 weeks before my actual due date. It's pretty late but it's manageable. So of course we are waiting to see what we get off of our registry before we go out and buy things. So, we have no crib or nursery furniture, we have no diapers or bottles or pacifiers, we have one blanket and a few outfits but that's about it!

The point is, we are not ready for Little Miss yet! We don't even have her room painted yet! We are hoping to get that done this week. The house isn't even close to being finished yet so that makes me nervous too. We just have so much to do and we only have 7 weeks to do it!

So, I hope my husband is wrong. I mean, I would love for Little Miss to come early but I was thinking more like the beginning of December rather than the middle of December, not in November!! I guess we will just have to wait and see.

I got a lot of RSVPs from people for my husband's 30th birthday party. We have a pretty big group now so I'm getting excited for that. It's no longer a surprise because someone actually started talking to him about it (I think she knows who she is LOL). So now he knows all about it. So I planned something else for him to do on his birthday and I am going to keep that a surprise!

This week is going to be crazy for us! We are not home at all this week. We have an interview tonight for a bookkeeper for my husband's business, we have a church meeting tomorrow night, dinner with friends Thursday night and another church meeting Friday night. It's just crazy!

My next update will be on Monday after my doctor's appointment. Hopefully we will get an ultrasound this time!

I also want to make a quick shout out to "An Ordinary Mom". Check out her blog here. She is going through a very difficult time right now with her oldest son who had a brain tumor removed recently. Please send your love to her and her family.

  1. I would just like for the record to state that I didn't give any details:) As far as I know, he still doesn't know where, I just said I didn't want to drive anywhere. :) I am not good with secrets! I have many I have kept, but lately my brain doesnt function ;)

    Love the blogs by the way! Can't believe it's almost here! Let me know if I can help with anything? I'm free now that there's no wedding planning, so please abuse me!

29 Week Bumpdate

The heart rate today was 160 and all is well. Little Man is still kicking away all the time!  He sleeps until late morning and then he's all over the place for the rest of the day.  It's fun but it's also uncomfortable sometimes. When I weighed myself on Sunday, which is when I usually do it to update my pregnancy app, I was only up 15lbs.  As of today, though, I am up 17lbs.  I feel like I am growing at warp speed but the doctor assures me that I am measuring just fine.  I do feel like some of the shirts I wore two weeks ago shouldn't be worn anymore though!  The bump is growing! I have noticed that I have been waking up with swollen ankles every morning despite sleeping with them elevated.  I know this has a lot to do with the weight gain since I had such a problem with it last time.  Other than that, the normal heartburn and backaches come and go and I'm crazy tired but I don't really have any other issues.  I don't ever ...

Cheerios Stands

So when I logged onto my computer this morning, the first article that caught my attention was this one ( Cheerios Stands ) about a new commercial Cheerios has out.  They are getting a ton of negative feedback for this commercial and I'm just not understanding why. So basically, people are upset because this is a white mother, a black father and a biracial child.  What's the big deal? I know that it isn't a common thing to see in a TV commercial but what's the big deal?  I really don't think that biracial couples are uncommone these days so I'm not really understanding why they are getting such negative feedback for this commercial.  I give a ton of props to Cheerios/General Mills for not pulling the ad.  They could do that and that would be easy and would end the negativity but they are not going to do that.  Good for you.  There is no reason why this ad should not be aired. By the way, I think the commercial is cute and funny and I proba...

HFMD

Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a common viral illness that usually affects infants and children younger than 5 years old. However, it can sometimes occur in adults. Symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease include fever, blister-like sores in the mouth (herpangina), and a skin rash. ( http://www.cdc.gov/hand-foot-mouth/about/index.html) Are you kidding me? Blister-like sores in the mouth? Why do things like this even exist? What purpose does an illness like this that just torments little babies (and their parents) serve?  This stupid illness is currently 'running it's course' through my poor son. One week before his first birthday. Apparently it's 'going around' as the doctor so nicely explained.  Fortunately we only had one really bad day where he was not eating or drinking much and was just miserable. He was back to his usually happy self in no time even with blisters in his mouth. So this week, while my husband is away for work in Chicago and ...
