30 Weeks...Only 10 more to go!!

Wow can't believe I'm 30 weeks now. Can't wait until the remaining 10 (hopefully no more than that) are done and I get to see my son. I am starting to get slightly more uncomfortable as things go on. My belly is huge, my lower back hurts if I do anything (even stand for a long period of time), I had to pee 4 times in 4 hours last night, and if I eat too much (which can be really random amounts) I feel so uncomfortable for hours. I am taking iron since I'm anemic and it has helped with the tiredness a little bit but I'm still always tired and could take a nap at any time. Other than that everything is great.

This weekend my husband spoiled me by buying me my recliner rocker chair. It is so nice and comfortable. He is going to go pick up the chair and our dresser on March 14 while I'm at my shower. I can't wait to get the room all set up. Right now we have the crib full of all the baby stuff we have. I just want things to start coming together.

On another note we need all the prayers we can get right now for Jason's potential new job that would keep him home full time. We should know soon whether or not it will happen but I am really nervous it won't go through and he will have to go back to baseball. I just don't want to do the rest of this pregnancy and have the baby without him home! Please pray for us. Thanks.

Sophie and 28 weeks!

So yesterday morning I got woken up by Jason yelling at Sophie. I got up to see what the problem was to find him holding her in his arms, both of them covered in paint with a long line of white kitty paw prints down the hallway. Apparently while he was painting in Lukes room she got the idea to put her paw in the paint can, then when she freaked out and shook her arm and splattered paint everywhere. Here is a picutre of the two:
For some reason it doesn't look as bad as it was. Sophie did not like getting cleaned up and made some pretty funny noises. Man I love this littly kitty so much. She has such a funny personality. I'm so glad we got her. I just hope she loves the baby and doesn't get upset when he gets here.

Well tomorrow is 28 weeks for me. The third trimester!! Yeah. Finally only 12 weeks left. Can't believe in 12 weeks I get to see my son, assuming he wants to make his appearance then.
And most importantly I got my test results back today and DO NOT have gestational diabetes. I'm so happy I can't even explain it. Thanks for all those of you who were praying for me.

27 Weeks!

Wow only 1 more week to go in the second trimester! I can't believe next week I will be in the third trimester. There is still so much to do. Good news is that my blood work showed that I am anemic which explains why I have absolutely no energy. I've been on iron for 2 days now so I'm hoping that I get some energy in me any day now. Bad news is that I have to go for a 3 hour glucose test on Friday. I did not pass my 1 hour by 2 points. I'm just praying that all goes well and I do not have gestational diabetes. Please pray for me. Friday is going to be brutal. I will have to fast and then go in and have my blood drawn before drinking the sugary drink and then have my blood drawn again at 1 hour, 2 hours, and 3 hours post drink. Thats a lot of blood draws! I just really hope that I am normal and do not have gestational diabetes. I guess we will see.

Pictures!

Here is our crib! Jason (with the a little help from me and Sophie) put it together today. Now we just need some sheets and a matress.

Here is Sophie in her room on her cat tree. She loves this thing!

Last, here is my first photo on here. It is my 23 week photo and I know what you are thinking yes I am HUGE!! I feel like I wake up every single day and my belly is bigger. Yikes I still have 4 more months to go.

23 Weeks!

Well not much new going on pregnancy wise. My little man is moving around like crazy now! Our crib should be here tomorrow!! Things are slowly coming together and I am getting more and more excited. We signed up for our first class Baby Care Basics. My friend April and her husband who are also delivering at the Grossmont Women's Center are going to take the class with us. We started to register. I just can't wait to get his room all set up. I myself am getting "as big as a house" according to my husband (who says he is just kidding). Its kind of true. I have four more months left but my belly is big!

For any of you Jon & Kate plus 8 fans out there Jason got me the book that Kate wrote and I just finished reading it. I loved it! It is a very inspiring book and their faith in God is amazing. All the struggles they went through during the pregnancy I don't know if I would be able to manage as well as they did. Anyways its a very good read.

Luke's first Christmas Presents and a HUGE surprise for me.

Well Luke got all sorts of Christmas presents from Aunt Mary, Cousin Erica, Aunt Joy, and Grandma Pruett (that is a little weird for me to call my mom Grandma Pruett). Here are some pics of Luke's presents. Yes that is Sophie showing off her baby brothers presents!!



























For Christmas this year Jason gave me a very thoughtful gift that I NEVER could have guessed (and believe me I had been trying!). He had our wedding invitation custom framed and he designed it himself.



But the biggest surprise came today. Jason went ice skating with my family this afternoon at Viejas while I was at work and he came home with something I thought I would never ever get but he came home with a COACH DIAPER BAG!!!!!!!! I can't believe he got it for me. I love it and can't wait to use it!

21 Weeks

So today I'm 21 weeks. At my U/S 2 weeks ago the tech said that Luke should weigh about 1lb now. I have been feeling him move a lot more often. Yesterday he was kind of crazy! On Sunday morning Jason got to feel him for the first time. I laid on my back and pressed down to see if I could feel him and sure enough I found him and my pressing made him move. I told Jason to press down pretty hard and sure enough he moved again and Jason felt it. Its pretty exciting to feel him moving about.
On Saturday Jason and I found the crib we are going to get. Its more than we wanted to pay but have since found it online for a lot less and are just looking into the online companies selling it for less before we order it. I can't wait to get his room set up.
Today we get to find out if Loralyn is having a girl or a boy. Its going to be a very long day.
