Random..

It has been forever since I have blogged.  

 I haven't even posted about our trip to San Diego for Christmas. 

I need to post about our babymoon to Hawaii, which was AWESOME,

and progress on Holden's room, it's coming together!

 

But today I am just going to put a few random thoughts.

 

I will NOT miss this big fat belly when Holden gets here, but I will miss Ryan rubbing, kissing and talking to his baby at night through my belly.   My love for that man grows everyday. 

 

I love feeling Holden kick me every day, even if my poor bladder suffers.  Let's me know he is okay.

 

He is still breach and I still have placenta previa, so we find out next week if we have to have a c-section or not. If the placenta doesn't move I don't have a choice.  And my Dr. would want to do it at 36-37 weeks so then I would only have 10 weeks left.  Yikes!

 

I have lived in our house for 6 years and Ryan has lived there for 3,  and until the front guest room became Holden's room we apparently didn't need window locks.  But the minute it became babies room Ryan went out and got window locks. Because as he says "People are crazy and no one is going to try to take my baby"

 

It's hard to fathom that the next Mother's Day that rolls around I actually WILL be a Mother.   I told Ryan he better make it a good present :) 

 

I feel like a fool talking to my dogs about their baby brother coming,  carrying around the carseat or turning on the swing and letting them investigate everything, but the book says this is how you get your fur babies ready for their world to be rocked!

 

Pregnancy makes me snore, Ryan can't sleep through snoring.  I have tried a humidifier, breathe right strips, Vick's tent you name it.  Doctor just says some women snore during pregnancy.   Hopefully it goes away after because Ryan is sleeping in the guest room half the time and I miss him!

 

Finally at 18weeks I stopped being sick,  I want to document this so hopefully with my next pregnancy I can say it didn't last as long.  It was NOT fun and I was NOT enjoying pregnancy at all.   From 18 weeks to today (almost 27 weeks) I have loved it.

 

The only thing good about being sick during pregnancy is you don't gain a ton of weight.  Hoping to be at 20lbs for the whole pregnancy,  at +7 right now.

 

Not going to lie, the hospital tour at Summerlin Hospital scared me a little.   Watching them take off the bottom half of the labor bed and reveal the bucket underneath that catches all the mess.  My eyes were wide open after that.  Or learning about the lovely diaper's we get to wear afterwards because you are still bleeding.  So fun!

 

I never drank milk, except in cereal or to dip oreo's in.  I drink probably 2-3 glasses a day and go through a gallon a week by myself.   It's crazy.

 

Other cravings,   cutie oranges (eat 4 a day),  Captn Crunch cereal for breakfast everymorning,  cheeseburgers, banana's, popcorn, strawberries, apple juice and apples.

 

Things I am not liking,  sweets (which makes me so sad, I normally love sweets), sandwiches,  fish.

 

I am a shopaholic,  I can't stop buying him clothes and room decor.  I have a problem. He already has 10 pairs of shoes.

 

I need to stop though because looking at our budget after baby is born with day care, diapers and insurance going up.  We are going to be broke :)

 

 We have the crib, glider, changing table (bought at garage sale and grandpa refinishing), video monitor (gift), carseat (gift), bedding, swing and breastpump. 

 

When Holden is born Ryan will be 1 month away from finishing his first year of grad school.  We made it a year and only 2 left!!!

 

My mom and dad are going to watch Holden on Friday's while I work from 9-1 and my mom has already told me that she is not following my baby wise schedule,  she is rocking her grandson to sleep.  She is looking for a glider for her house as we speak :)

 

My Aunt is making Holden's blessing outfit and my Mother in Law is making a blanket to go with his blessing outfit.  I love that people I love are contributing to his special day,  they will go in his keepsake box for sure!

 

My boss is already negotiating with me on maternity leave,  asking if I can come in 1 day a week and add it on to the back end of my time off,  so I'll be out longer but work 1 day.  He is freaking out that the place will fall apart.

 

I feel like the next 13 weeks are going to go by the slowest in my life,  but the last week I know I am going to be so scared and wish I had more time!!
