Fan-FREAKING-tastic

Those are definitely stretch marks that have graced the right side of my belly. Right side only?? I don't completely get it, but I think he is hanging out over there most of the time because it's always harder than my left side.
It really does suck though. All of my obsessive, craziness about lotioning up has not saved me....or at least it saved my left side so far.
Ah....11 weeks to go. Lets see many I complain about until then.

soooo sleepy

It is crunch time for me. Finals next week, so many training classes to give at work and finding time to rest has become a challenge.
I can't remember the last time I was so exhausted. I've definitely changed my mind a bit. I will only be taking one to two classes this summer; the three I was planning on may do me in.

So I went to Dr. Chen last Friday, and everything turned out great. I passed my glucose screening with 116 (whatever that means). He did say I need to make sure to take my viatmins daily because two things they look at in the blood were .5 below where he wanted them to be. So I've been extra religious about taking them lately, I've also started taking my DHA vitamins since brain growth is most rapid in the 3rd trimester. (I tried choking them down before, but it was too much).
So I sit here with my eyes nearly closed waiting for the moment 12 hours from now when I can crawl into bed just to wake up at 5:30 to start all over again. ::YAAAAAAAWWWWNNNNN::
That's my scoop for now.

Nursery bedding arrived!!

We got it in the mail this week! So we've been going back and forth between a monster and an airplane theme. Well, we decided on airplanes to get the baby comfortable with traveling asap --that's my idea :)
I looked everywhere for airplane bedding. The expensive stuff, cheap stuff...EVERYWHERE. So luckily I happened to find one that I LOVE (and it also happens to be less expensive than most!)
Here are a few photos. We found it at Kmart believe it or not! We got the 4 piece set, mobile, 4 receiving blankets and a comfy blanket all for around $100 (shipping included - it's not in stores)! Now, I haven't washed anything yet, so I can't talk about the quality. The price is awesome, and it's so cute. I'm happy....hopefully I don't post in the next few days talking about how poorly made it is.... ::crosses fingers::







Yea...I've been slacking

Well...I'm in week 27! Officially 3rd trimester. Yep. It's a little scary, just because the whole pregnancy thing will eventually become a baby thing. - Which is not a bad thing, I'm just not great at seeing the obvious.

So our little boy is strong. He can't be that big yet, but I feel him kick at times and it makes me jump. I'm also feeling him all over the place now, still mostly down low but at time up by my ribs. I wish I knew how he was positioned in there, so maybe I could distinguish where he is facing.

I am off to see Dr. Chen tomorrow, and then that marks 2 week doctor visits! I doubt I'll get an u/s. Next one I get is at 36 weeks I think.
I probably should post some pics up. I have slacked with a few weeks, so I'm not sure what weeks I'm missing, but I will post the latest.
