As far as this blog goes, the weeks go by really fast as far as me not writing anything. And the more I don't write, the less I want to. But as far as my pregnancy it seems like the weeks go by really slow. I feel like I have been stuck at about 20 weeks pregnant forever. In two weeks I will finally be at the 3rd trimester. They say the last two months (or last two weeks depending on who you talk to) go by really slow. I'm hoping that being it is around the holidays that will help it go by faster. People have been saying that I don't look that pregnant and that it's just now becoming obvious that I'm pregnant and not just more fat than usual. I had a woman at work tell me yesterday that now she believes me--that I'm pregnant. Apparantly the first 4 months of me throwing up wasn't enough for her. But I'm ok with my belly. I can easily make it look bigger or smaller based on what I wear. I don't want to have a 9 pounder, so a small belly is ok with me. I have been feeling much better. I haven't thrown up since the day after our ultrasound (aug 26). I am hoping to keep it that way too. I feel fine as long as I keep something in my stomach. So I feel like I eat all the time. Last time I was at the doctor he said I had only gained 4 pounds. I have another appointment later this week, so I'm hoping for like 10 or something. It seems crazy to me that I of all people I would have problems gaining the normal amounts of weight. I'm sure it's only because I was so sick I could hardly eat and now I am playing catch up. It was never a problem before. I really want to try to get some maternity photos taken in the fall, because it is so pretty outside. So if you know someone who is good and reasonably priced, let me know. I have found some really good, really expensive people online, but I think I'm looking to make a package deal for pictures for the next year.
I still have the hiccups really loud every day, and lately she has decided to make a game out of how hard she can push herself up against my stomach. I haven't had problems with her pushing on my bladder or ribs yet, so that's good. But it's still not comfortable. Dusten has been able to feel her kick a couple of times. Most of the time he isn't very patient to wait, and it's hard to predict. I had a scare a couple of weeks ago where I didn't feel her move for almost 24 hours. I was pushing on myself trying to make her move and nothing. Usually as soon as I lie down on the couch I get pounded. She must have been asleep at that time or something. Finally after I took a shower and got in bed she started moving. But it's weird how your mind will play tricks on you. I wanted to feel her move, so anytime I felt something I would debate whether it was really her or something else. She certainly wasn't making it obvious. One night when D and I were going to bed my toes were kind of tight, and as I was stretching them out I was reminded about how pregnant women often get Charley horses. I hadn't had any, so I said something about it (bad move) and so of course at 3 AM I had to jump out of bed and get to the nearest wall. My leg was sore for 3 days. It wouldn't have been so bad except that D had our adjustable bed adjusted, and it's kind of hard to get out of it when you are sleeping like the letter V. He says he didn't hear me as I basically fell out of bed. He sleeps way too hard, which I think will be a problem in about 4 months =) So I'm trying not to talk about the problems I don't have, because apparantly that triggers my brain to start them.
What else is there? I think D and I have finally settled on a name. We haven't settled on a middle name yet, but any of the ways that goes, I'm ok with it. We registered at Babies R Us and Target and we finally found some bedding that we like. Dusten's mom found it and they actually had it at Target. I'm just ready for this room to start looking like we are having a baby instead of a drop place for baby items. Hopefully Dusten will get the bedroom in the basement done soon so we (and by we I mean not me) can get this furniture out of here.
Well it's time to eat again. Hopefully I'll get a belly pic up soon.
