Physically
- I'm sleepy! I'm not running myself around like crazy and I go to bed at night, but I find that many days I would much rather be doing nothing. I wonder if I can work out something where I can function with my eyes closed, but listening ears.
- Puffy ankles. Everyone has different names for them, but I think "puffy" is a nice way to refer to my ankles some days. Thankfully this is not a constant occurance and with some elevation, fluids and sometimes cold water. I'm back to normal.
- Nails. Remember my comments on how my nails were growing. Well I did cut them, but it's time for cut number 2. Who knew I would ever feel like that. I've always thought it was nice to have a some length to your nails.
- Coming full circle. So I've discovered that the end of the pregnancy is similar to the beginning. Sleep is desired and those frequent trips to the restroom are back!!
Kid's Room
Not knowing kid's gender prevented us from going color crazy in the room. We are totally cool with that being the laid back people that we are! So Charles did a coat of basically white, just to give the room the fresh kinda feel.
Then I got a surprise call from Charles at work one day informing me that the crib was up. HUH!!!! NO WAY!!! OH GEEZ!!! After I congratulated him, I did run through my questions..."do you like it?", "is it sturdy?", "how many screws you have left?". Hahahahaha! At first he didn't hear that last question and we moved on for about 10 seconds until I guess it registered and he said, "Did you ask me how many screws I had left?" HAHAHAHA! Yep...sure did buddy. He answered "4, but they are for something else." Uh ok. I think he's talking about the toddler rail when the kid is older. So we're good.
My mom put up some blue/green curtains and added some yellow and orange accent pillows in the window seat. Still working on that project a little bit, but it will come together.
Changing table needs to be put together and glider needs to be purchased, but like I keep saying, if "the kid" comes tomorrow...we have what we need.
Appointments
I continue to have successful appointments. Thank God!
Now I go every week. Hello 9th month!
Successful Shower
Another successful was held for us at Charles' parents home in VA. Family and friends from both sides were tested on their knowledge of baby animal names, unscrambling words, not saying the word "b-a-b-y" and guessing the size of my stomach in toilet paper. TOO FUN!!!
My grandma was the winner of the "toilet paper game". She was right on!! According to toliet paper, I am 11 squares big.
Thanks moms for two AWESOME showers!!!
Awww...who's that baby? It's my baby daddy! I think 2 days old.Name Reveal
In case you missed it or haven't heard, at the NC shower Charles and I revealed the possible names of "the kid".
Ava - girl
Alex - boy
It was a great surprise and pretty cool to me that during the VA shower, these two names were scattered out in confetti along the gift table. Since we don't know which one it will be, I had to put both on their current home.
That's all for now. Wow! What will the next post be about? Will the kid be here? WOW!!! Thanks again for all the love and support!
