20 days or less..

It always seems to be a while between these posts now.

I don't have much time left and it's becoming so surreal. I had a great baby shower with lots of family and some friends. We enjoyed good laughs and good food. It was fun and I will be the first to say that I was skeptical. lol My mom and sister did such a great job though. It was covert ops for a month or two.

Now it is time to get my bag ready, which I have been procrastinating, and get my mind ready.

I miss my hubby so much and I hope the baby comes when he is meant to come and that I will have my Rock by my side. ;)

Meteor showers and cloudy skies :/

It's been maybe 2 weeks, huh?

Not too much has gone on in my life. I have the child prep classes still going on and am getting mentally prepared for the big day.

I miss my hubs though. It's getting closer to the due date but also closer to being reunited with my love again. The anxiety is overwhelming but I can't wait. Well, I can, I have no choice to but saying that takes away the significance of the statement.

*sigh* I do believe I over did it in my cleaning and it took a toll on me. I slept for a very long period of time last night and again this morning. I am also very excited that my best friend will be here for my baby shower!!!!! She finally booked her ticket and now the count down for that event is an even more exciting one.

Like I said, not too entertaining on my end.

If you're up before the sun rises (tonight and tomorrow) try to look up and catch the meteor shower. It's supposed to be good. :)

7 weeks left.... ^_^

It feels as if I haven't written in ages but it has only been close to 2 weeks. My mother and I did make it to the childbirth class on the CORRECT day. I went into the class a little skeptical but it was actually fun. We met a couple that was very sweet and since it isn't a large class I'm sure by the end of the month all of us will talk more and more. I am the only one in the class with my mom though. That fact is a little saddening. It is emotionally difficult for me to go thru it without my husband when I see all these couples together and ready to be involved. I know he wishes he could be here more than anything also. I'm sure it is harder on him. :/
Well, the class was nice BUT nausea did catch me on Monday and during the class it surely overtook me. The following day I had a regular OB appointment and even though I brought up some concerns with how I was feeling, I feel as if it was just brushed aside. This would not normally matter to me except that I got even more sick and had to return on Wednesday! It didn't help that I got the flu shot on Tuesday with them. UGH, to explain how crappy this week has been. Actually, the week could have been much worse. I didn't have to get an IV so I did MUCH better in keeping myself hydrated. It is 2:42am at the moment so it is already Friday and I am ready to be able to eat something!
I couldn't hold much of anything down and I was told to only drink liquids for 24 hours. After this I was told to be on the B.R.A.T diet for the following day and guess what....I can EAT SOMETHING NOW. I will def still take my pills and make sure that I don't fall back into this entire mess of illness again. I hope it is done and over with though.

7 weeks left...man, I can't wait to meet my son. I just love him.

HILL-AIR-EEEE-OUSSSSS

OMG, the funniest thing happened today.
My mom had been saying all day that we have my lamaze classes starting today. This I heard and I must say that my days are all mixed into one as I don't work anymore and such. I just went with it and believed today was the 1st. What's terrible is that earlier today I was speaking to a friend who was trying to convince me to enter a writing event that begins.....November 1st.
So here we are fixated on a lifetime movie, which is like a light to a bug. My mom says it's about 530 and we should get ready. I continue procrastinating and finally jump up to change my clothes and do something to my hair. We start bustling out of the house and jump into the car. We drive up maybe 2 blocks and I ask my mom if today is the 1st? She responds...no and I just begin to crack up laughing. I am keeled over laughing and saying the classes don't start until next week. Oh man, we turned around and went back home but the memory of this, PRICELESS. Might I add that my mom says, "well, now imagine when the baby gets here." HAHAHAHA

Updates to Mi Vida

On previous blogs I stated that I would get the 3d/4d ultrasound and to my surprise, I chose not to. At this point if I change my mind it would cost me full price but at this rate, my son is almost here. My reason to opt out of this precious event was because I just had an ultrasound done...for an hour. At that time I saw my son and I got the print outs at the end also. I've been pretty darn lucky to get so many sonograms done, and I use the term lucky loosely as the reasons were never wonderful. Aside from that, he has always given us great photos. :) All in all, I want to be a tad bit surprised to see my son and the time is still ticking away rather quickly!

Also.......prenatals. OMG

I was always able to smell the scent of the pill, which is not wonderful. Though within the past month I had been getting sicker and the small has become rather nauseating to me. The taste, not far behind. My gag reflex would start as soon as I opened the container. Do I have any idea why this change has occurred? Not a clue. I had taken myself to my first non scheduled OB visit a couple of weeks ago and then on my regularly scheduled visit the following week I still had many symptoms persist. Lo and behold my mother is the one who connected the idea of the pills being the cause. I finally stopped taking them 4 days ago and vioala, nausea eliminated...at least for the most part. I don't feel like i'm going to throw up constantly and I don't have to sleep it off the entire day. Moral of the story::: Not everything prescribed is good and mothers are almost always right.

Less than 8 weeks left....TICK TOCK.
