Baby shower #1!!!!
so as you all know i had my family, friends, and church people shower yesterday. it was SO awesome. the decorations were GORGEOUS. and i got so much stuff. i seriously got more than i ever did with Nettie…i think because i know a lot more people now. when i had Nettie i had only been living here less than a year. Nimmie is one lucky baby. and to think that i have my work shower THIS sunday….yes, very lucky indeed.
btw, my stupid ticker is broken AGAIN. it says 34 weeks and some days. today i’m 35 weeks and 4 days. i have 3 weeks 4 days left of work. Thank God.
so here’s a few pictures. there were 200 taken on my camera. obviously this is narrowed down big time!
this last pic is of everything piled up in her room. i promise that one day soon we’ll actually get her room into a nursery and not in the 1/2 baby 1/2 guest room state it’s in now! once my crib gets here, it’s on!
No progress
in case ya’ll care, i’m not dialated AT ALL. i’m nowhere NEAR close to having this baby. i was sorta hoping at my appointment yesterday that my doctor would tell me i was dialated like 4 centimeters and omg, gonna go into labor anytime so they better do my c section sooner.
no suck luck.
so i kicked her ass and told her i’d see her next week.
OH next week i DO get another ultrasound though to see how big Nimmie is. My guess is at least 6 1/2 to 7lbs. Nettie was 6 1/2 at my 35 week ultrasound. i’ll be 36 weeks when i get it. i feel like Nimmie is as big as Nettie was. we shall see!
so anyway that’s the latest update. my 1st baby shower is sunday. YAY!
Whiner
that’s what i’ve become lately which is why my posts have been few and far between. i figured i’d spare ya’ll having to read me whine about how tired i am and how i’m NEVER going to be done working…or that i’m NEVER having this baby.
i want to smack myself because i cried over not being pregnant month after month last year. and now that i’m almost done…well now i want to cry that i’m STILL pregnant. it’s dumb, i know.
i think pregnancy should be 7 months. after your 7th month it’s no longer as enjoyable as it was. there are fun times still and the movement of the baby is SO hard and so fun to watch and feel. i’ll admit that. but this whole not breathing….suffocating if i eat anything….waddling…NOT COOL.
how is it possible that i was bigger with Nettie and feel worse this time?
ok i’m done.
good news: my first baby shower is this weekend on sunday. i’m super excited!!!!! i also have one next weekend on sunday too. i’m so ready to get presents for Nimmie so i can finally finish her baby room. so i’ll have pictures next week for sure!
thanks to angelika for the kick ass themes she does for my blog! and thanks for bearing with me. you now see why i haven’t been posting. i’m such a douche lately.
4 weeks
the countdown has begun. i’m 34 weeks 1 day pregnant. that’s 8 1/2 months. 4 weeks until i’m done working for 3 months. 5 weeks until Nimmie is here. work has sucked SO BAD the past couple weeks that i’m actually counting down til my last day MORE than counting down til i can hold my daughter. how pathetic is that?!
i’ve been in such a funk this week because of work. i’m all depressed and bitchy and snappy. i hate it. i don’t like being this way. but it seems like everyday something new happens for me to be pissed off about here.
not to mention the never ending crap going on in ohio that i’ll have to post about another day.
i’m just so ready to be done working…so ready to have this baby…so ready to take a million pictures of Nettie with her baby sister…. so ready to take a million more pictures of them with matching outfits……i’m just so ready. period.
in other news, i thought i’d post this for yall. it’s my progression so far from flat tummied to huge tummied. i think i swallowed a bowling ball. although i DID stick with my vow to myself to not gain as much as i did with Nettie and not look swollen and have a huge fat face. and my blood pressure is still rocking. yay me!
Growing up and other things
Nettie has her 1st loose tooth! this is very exciting for us because she’s been wanting to lose a tooth for forever. weird i know lol. i think cuz all her friends are losing theirs and she was one of the last ones! it’s so crazy to me that i have a kindergartener who loses teeth now. like where did the time go? seriously. and last weekend i took hours and washed all of Nettie’s old clothes that i saved for Nimmie. and i just stood there cradling the little outfits picturing Nimmie in my arms…cept all i could see was Nettie in my arms. it’s crazy to me that she’s THIS old. and it’s crazy to me that the baby i’m about to have is NOT her. having a 2nd child is a weird thing when all you know is your 1st child. like i can’t picture how Nimmie will be because all i have is Nettie to go by.
i know. i’m weird.
today is my 1st every 2 week appointment at the doctor’s office. if you’ll notice, my ticker has corrected itself and i’m now 32 weeks pregnant. that is 8 months along. holy crap. when i think of 8 months pregnant i think, hm i’m almost done. and then i freak out because OMG i’m almost done. and i have SO much to do. the baby room is not anywhere NEAR done but i’m waiting til after my baby showers to put that room together. but so along with every 2 week appointments come my constant paranoia about my blood pressure. because i feel like if i’m getting it checked every 2 weeks that’s more of a chance for it to suck vs. once a month. i feel like it should be good still today. if it’s not i know that it’s just one bad reading and i know my doctor won’t do anything drastic over one bad reading. so we’ll see.
tomorrow marks 6 weeks left of work. and 7 weeks til Nimmie is here. yay!
2009 already?
I swear time is going by so freakin fast. it feels like just yesterday i was announcing i was pregnant. and now i’m almost 31 weeks and SO ready to be done. lol go figure. i’ve been saying after new year i was gonna focus on the baby’s room. well it’s the new year now. last night i started washing all the old clothes from Nettie and all the new stuff i got for the baby. i did one load. and there’s still more. Thank God i’m having another girl. we also said after new year we’d focus on getting our house refinanced….and so that’s another thing weighing on my shoulders this morning. there’s so much to do and like NO time to do it. and we’re such procrastinators. both of us. makes it hard to get things done.
the thing is i don’t get to quit work. i have to come back here after 3 months of maternity leave. that’s a whole other post entirely that i’ll work on this week BUT we still have to refinance so that we’ll be able to get by for those 3 months. so honestly, i just need to get the ball rolling. so does Hubs.
when really, all i wanna do is go to sleep til march 6 when Nimmie will be here and have someone else take care of all this. yes i’m THAT tired and THAT uncomfortable. already.
i think she may weigh 10 lbs when she’s born. don’t quote me on that though.
Impatient
Nettie’s the queen of impatient. so i wasn’t shocked the other day when she told me that my belly is getting SO big. i told her it’s only going to get bigger. then she wanted to know when the baby was coming. i told her not soon enough LOL. she’s been extra sweet with kissing and hugging her baby sister. melts my heart.
what didn’t melt my heart was when Hubs asked her if i could swing in the swing next to her at the playground and Nettie told him that the swing wasn’t big enough and that i’d probably break it.
