32 Weeks

As of Sunday I'm 32 weeks along.  I feel like I've been pregnant F-O-R-E-V-E-R!!!  Only 8 more weeks to go, if I go the full term, but I have a feeling this little boy is going to come early like his sister did.  As long as he's healthy, I'm fine with that!  :)  I had my check-up today and everything is looking good.  My blood pressure was up again but after laying on my side a few minutes, it went back down.  I haven't had any issues with swelling, headaches or seeing spots so I'm not too worried about it.  My baby boys heart beat was at 142, his head is down low and he's getting ready to make his entrance.  I actually lost a couple of pounds since my last appointment which puts my weight gain at 7 pounds.  For anyone who's seen my belly, it sure doesn't seem like that all because it looks more like 20+ but that's it.  Since I wasn't a skinny girl to begin with, I think the baby is just taking what I already had!  :)

I also got my new glasses today.  I picked them out over a week and a half ago and while I was waiting, I was nervous that they weren't going to look right.  Once I got home and took my contacts out, I put them on again and although they're going to take some getting used to because they are very different from my last pair, I really like them.  I stopped over to show my mom and she LOVED them.

We're having a simple dinner tonight because I'm tired and don't feel like cooking or cleaning a big mess.  So it's sandwiches and fries for dinner.  I still am not sleeping well so I'm going to try to go to bed early tonight and hopefully will be able to catch up on some sleep.

Lauryn's Pregnancy

Yes, you read that right.  The title of this post is "Lauryn's Pregnancy."  For those of you who may be reading this but don't know me, I am talking about my three year old.  If you ask her about the baby in my belly, she'll tell you we're having a boy and we're naming him Lucas.  Then she'll go on to tell you about the baby in her tummy.  The "Baby Ragged Dinosaur."  I don't know where she came up with Baby Ragged Dinosaur but that's what it's been since this all started.  She tells me all the time that her baby is giving her heartburn and she should probably have some Tums and the other day she came running in the kitchen to tell me that she had just felt her baby kick!  It cracks me up!  I think her pregnancy has been harder on her than mine has been on me!  I love my silly girl!

On a different note, I'm thinking about making a yoga mat bag for a friend of mine.  I need to get back into crocheting because there will be two new babies coming in May and June and I thought that would be a good project to get the ball rolling.  I've been looking at patterns but I think I'll probably end up making something on my own.

 

It's A Boy!!!

As most of you already know, we found out on Monday that we're having a boy!  Lloyd and I are so excited!  And we were able to enjoy this ultrasound!  When we did Lauryn's ultrasound, we were dealing with a scare so it wasn't enjoyable.  We just wanted to know that she was going to be okay.  This time it was so nice to really see everything and know that everything was good.  I love that they give us ultrasound pictures too.  My favorite is the little profile picture.  I have it on the fridge, with my butterfly magnets and Lauryn's alphabet ones, so I can see it every day.  Now we need to get a move on about deciding on a name :)

Better Than Yesterday!

So far today is turning out much better than yesterday.  Yesterday, I felt awful!  Going back and forth between heart burn and nausea.  I ended up in bed before 9:30 pm.  I slept pretty good, woke up at 4:45 am and have been feeling pretty good so far.  I've made two mini loaves of banana bread and will be making brownies soon.  We have Willow today and the girls are being very good for me :)  I think we're going to head out to the back yard after lunch.  Let them burn off some energy before nap time :)

Waiting to hear from two more Pay It Forward recipients before I can post the pictures of the things I made for them :)
