Oh My!!! It's been such a long time since I've written here.
Here I am in my last trimester. The uncomfortable stage has finally set in. As I sit here typing I just feel so uncomfortable. My belly is HUGE and it's making it very hard to get good breaths. My maternity clothes are getting smaller on me so I had to go shopping for bigger ones today. Not such a horrible thing, but when money is tight....it can be.
Nesting has officially begun for me. I've steadily been cleaning out things in the house and selling them. Trying to make room for the baby I guess. But no sooner that I sell something I am buying something to replace it.
how does that work? I've already washed EVERYTHING for the baby and the stuff that is sitting out (like bed stuff, covering for the bouncy and swing) will get one more good wash before Brandon gets here.I go for my 3 hour glucose test tomorrow. I've really been putting it off, but should probably (hopefully) have the results when I go to my ob appt on friday. So I figured tomorrow should be the day. I am NOT looking forward to it. Having to find something to keep the kids occupied for 3 hours is going to be a task in itself. Not to mention having to drink all that sugary stuff that I am afraid will make me totally barf.
So far I have everything I "need" for the baby (well except nipples for some of the bottles). I just bought my diaper bag today and am sooooo thrilled about it. It's super cute. But as far as the definite needs go for Brandon, we bought everything ourselves (except the stroller which my dad bought us).
Just found out this weekend that my sisters will not be throwing me a shower for the baby when I go home. I totally understand though. So that is why we cracked down and bought the last few items. I am glad that we started buying before we got pregnant now. Babies are very expensive when you have to buy everything yourself. Even if they are hand me downs. I am so blessed to have such wonderful friends on Valleymom's who've given my items to use during my maternity and free items for the baby. It really has saved the bank in my house.
On the 29th the whole family is going in for my 3d/4d ultrasound. I can't wait to see my little man again
I am even more excited to be able to share it with the kids this time. They are really looking forward to the baby getting here and this will just brighten their day even more being able to actually see him move. I know it will brighten mine.Here are a couple pics of how I look now.....
