I know its been a few weeks. Its hard to get the time to get on here w/o being rushed. Today I'm 29 weeks and 2 days, a little more then 10 weeks left! Its coming so fast now. I feel very unprepared when i look at my lists of things to do. Things are coming along slowly, but i definitely don't feel i have enough checked off on my lists and it bothers me. I'm a planner! And what if he comes early, then i feel like i'll be totally screwed! So i'm really trying to get things done.
We were on vacation in FL last week and my aunt down there bought me a few things. A blanket, bibs, booties, some clothes, and wash cloths. Just added to what we already have, so that was nice. Also while we were gone, R's mom gail bought a bunch fo dr seuss stuffed animals that kohl's has on sale. She might have bought the books that go along w/them too, but i don't know yet. My mom bought a dr seuss crib sheet, its cute. I ordered the foam crib mattress this week, can't wait for that to come in. I also ordered a breastpump. I decided that i'd like to try exclusively pumping and have been looking into that since i have a little extra time at work this week. I'm hoping it works out well, but understand that some things just don't go as planned.We also finally decided on paint colors for his room, so we're starting on that. R finished the dresser/changing table and put together the closet shelving, so now he's working on painting. He should be done w/the closet by the end of the weekend and will then add the shelving. We're painting the closet yellow and 1-2 walls yellow and then 2 walls blue. I think it'll look good, it is a dr seuss theme. Now i have to order the dr seuss wall decals and get going on other nursery stuff. I have a list, a long list! But i don't think it'll take long to actually get done.
My mom is throwing me a shower for my side of the family march 6th, so i can't wait for that b/c then i'll know more of what we need to buy on our own. R's mom gail is supposed to be throwing me a shower for her side, but hasn't mentioned it at all. I'm not too nervous about that b/c i don't think anyone from his side will buy from our registry.
Also on the list of things getting done, i have an appt. w/a pediatrician (my old one) on march 5th. I'm almost positive we're just gonna use him, i remember really liking him. So if nothing has changed and everything goes well, we'll be all set there too.
I had a checkup on wednesday that went well. I should have written down any questions i had b/c once i got there i completely forgot everything. Nothing was really important anyways. I had to take the glucose test before i left for FL and found out i passed that. I also got a nice shot in the ass! 1st for me, never had a shot in the ass, but it didn't hurt at all. It was for RH disease b/c R's blood work came back positive for RH, so i got this shot now and i'll get it again after i have the baby. No big deal. But everything else went well, heard baby's heartbeat and it sounded good again.
So like i said before, we were in FL last week. It was so nice, warm the whole time, and i got at least 9 hours of sleep most nights, plus naps on some days. I hated having to come back! We flew there, i hated it!!! The seating on the plane was tight. R sat next to the window both times and i sat in the middle seat. I wanted to get up at least a couple times during both flights, but only got up 1x. Luckily that worked out fine. My back was in so much pain though! I wanted to cry the entire time, it was so horrible. I even took tylenol and it didn't do a thing. My back has been hurting a lot lately. I recently a new pilates dvd, so i'm going to try doing that type of workout more often and hope it helps. We'll see.
My weight has been iffy. I don't think its too bad, but it's not great. I'm not too worried about it though. As of wednesday, i'm up 26lbs. I just look big. I don't get it. I see other women who are further along then me and i look bigger. Its weird. My mom keeps saying its b/c i'm so short, but i don't know about that. I just can't believe i have 10+ more weeks and am only gonna get bigger! Its hard to see myself in the mirror this big, it doesn't look right, but at least its mainly belly. I stopped counting calories for the most part. I'm pretty aware of what i'm eating, so hopefully i'm just doing well. Even on vacation i watched what i ate for the most part and we walked 3 miles at the very least everyda. I also started a little bit of a new workout routine, just trying to keep things fresh. I've had cramping issues while walking that started in FL, so i'm doing the bike more often. Whatever works though.
I'm tired a lot too. Maybe its b/c of how busy i've been, maybe its from working at rite aid, i don't know. But i can't wait for any rest days...which i don't even see in the near future. Since being back from vacation, I've been trying to take it a little easier though. I try to be more lax about what i need to get done at home so i don't stress about things. So far its working, but we'll see how it goes. I'm going to be busy tonight and tomorrow b/c i have friends coming by tomorrow and still need to work and get my house cleaned up, but hopefully after that i can relax a little more again.
My boobs are growing! I really need bigger sports bras, but am not gonna bother at the moment. If they don't grow anymore, then i'll be ok. They're tight, but not a big bother. I don't think i wear them enough to be too annoying.
Oh the movement! This baby is so active!!! Having so much chill time on vacation allowed R and i to sit and watch and he moved like crazy in my stomach. You can see him moving in there, its crazy to see. When he moves into my ribs (which happens a lot), or just moves higher up, it becomes more uncomfortable and even a little painful. As much as it does bother me sometimes, its just an amazing thing to feel him moving, to see him moving. I know it means he's very healthy, and i'm so happy about that. It all just makes waiting to meet him harder!
My moods have been alright. I definitely found myself getting annoyed over nothing w/R recently, but have been doing good for the most part. I try to be aware of everything so i can have control over it, rather then my moods having control over me. Hopefully i can keep it up.
Other things: i haven't had to deal w/constipation since a few weeks ago. Thank God! I did find some things that helped it, but as of right now i haven't needed to do anything. I noticed that i get light cramping when i have to pee. More when its that i've been holding it for a little bit, which i try not to do. Which brings me to the next new thing, i peed on myself while in FL. Yep, it finally happened! It was horrible, but i'm sure it could be worse. I was doing laundry in FL and realized i had to pee. Didn't think much of it and just kept adding clothes to the washer. Then i sneezed and it happened. UGH! I was just glad i wasn't out in public. Now i really try to pee right when i notice i have to. My belly button is starting to stick out a little. Never thought i'd see the inside of my innie! I don't like it and can't wait for it to go back to normal.
Guess that can be it for now. 'Til next time...
