Third trimester woes already starting

I've always been worried about my back during my pregnancy, cause it's a little messed. Yeah, it's starting to show. I don't go to the chairopractor until next Wednesday, so I'm goingto try to take it a little easy, but I have a lot of stuff I want to do today.
The nursery walls are primered, and a patch of color on to make sure it was what we wanted. I grabbed eggshell... we never talked finish. I guess that was right... I don't know. I just remembered we'd used it before has a finish. well, one reason why to get just a quart to try. The nursery will be in a light warm beige color, and then the cherry furniture and Cars and blues. It'll be cute, and personal.

Fell on my butt

So Patrick was taking a quick break from starting the primering along with Eric. I was sitting on my little heart stool, and started to get up. Well, my legs were tired, and I just didn't lean far enough forward. Fell over the stool and onto my butt. Patrick had to help me up.
Lesson of the day- don't plop down n the heart stool, because I won't be able to get up.

wiggle wiggle

So I had always looked forward to feeling kicks. When I got them, I was excited to get them, cause they mostly came first thing in the morning or when I went to bed.
Today, I had them almost all day. I enjoyed it, except for when I wanted to lie down and he kept kicking up by my ribs (with my long torso, he is just now making it up that direction.) So that part was annoying, yet looking back on it, I still was happy, because he more wiggles I get, the calmer I feel. He has been such a quiet baby...
I am behind on presents still, but won't be for long. Steph is done! The big project took forever, because of the pattern alterations... it's the biggest thing I've ever crocheted.
I need to make a couple hats or something for my next person, and work on ones for my own son!
I'm being bad and not even looking for registry stuff, because I am poor- mostly crocheting and finding clothes.

must aspire to sound smarter

Went down to San Diego with the rents to go to the ESRI convention party... yeah. I am sad and don't have much to talk about exccept baby stuff, the dog, and baby shower stuff (of which there is very little to talk about, since I'm not planning it, lol.
Yeah. I stay out of political discussions, because either they vary way more than mine and are not gonna back down from sounding 100 percent right, or I'm not confident enough to argue. Bleah. It sucks liking something no one else is right now (Obama-ness)
But seriously, right now my life is full of babyness... research about baby stuff, so I can register for stuff I'll actually like, and research about breastfeeding, and I had to learn about classes... ugh. At least most is done. Good thing I can't afford to babyshop much.
I did get a couple packages of Babylegs from babysteals.com for cheap... that will have to be my last one for a while. But I really admire them.
Another reason my lack of current eventage sucks (besides True Blood :) is it makes me feel like a dork. Right now, between my lack of focus due to pregnancy (the ditzyness really is due to 'pregnancy brain' and the lack of seeing a lot of people on a daily basis means I am losing my communication skills. Bleah.

ouchies

I've had growing pains and fatigue the last couple of days... I'm kind of getting to the point where I look at the bump on my belly and can't imagine 13 more weeks of growth on it... I'm doomed...

Crib ordered!

And Babies R Us is having a half off mattress deal with the cribs, so we ordered the mattress too.
I feel so relieved, because the first one we liked, was discontinued. So now I have this one set. Now we just need to order the furniture, but the room needs to be painted first.

registering is done

Well, at least for now:) Everything I put on there, I did thinking of more than one baby in mind... I have the bad luck of scanning stuff that happens to go on clearance, go figure...
I need to order the crib, mom got her card in. The financial aspects of the baby thing are hitting harder and harder, since I have been out of work for a while now. I really really wanted to stay home and take care of the baby, but I'm going to have to work at least part time, so we can pay stuff and save up for other important things.
Every once in a while I go on Youtube or something and watch baby videos that are of them crying or laughing... since Daisy isn't around real babies, I'm trying to get her more used to the noises. he will still have an adjustment to make, but I'm hoping this makes it a little easier.
We went and had another ultrasound done yesterday. Brent was nice enough to burn copies of the dvd that we got, but the copy won't play in Eric's parents DVD player, ugh. So not sure what to do about that.

it got hot

One of the things that I have heard a lot (and Stephanie too, poor girl!) is "Man, you're going to be miserable this summer" or some other comment lamenting the fact that I'm pregnant during the summer and I'll be hot.


Um, since when is anyone COLD in the summer around here?


I usualy say omethig in the affirmative, since yes, it will be hot. Duh. I'll take getting hot and being able to eat all of the ripe fruit that is out there (my fruit basket thing is FULL right now)


Unfortunately, I figured out what my limits were this week. I got too hot twice in the last few days. It's hard, because I've spent 28 years being able to deal with the heat well, and all of a sudden, I can't hack it. Ugh.


*and now for something completely different!*

Lol, I bet I could make one of these. The idea is cute though.

The Disney website has some cute stuff, and then other stuff, well... not as cute. Why is that, anyway? The parks get all of the good stuff, but it always has this huge Disneyland on it.

Eric and I are working on registry stuff today... need to finish that up in the next few weeks.

Finally, ultrasound results.

Everything- very normal.
Weight gain- superb, 9 lbs.
Uterus measurement, 24 cent. long.
Woohoo!
Not woohoo- they have no documentation of the sex on the nurse's record. I thought that was pretty weird.
