30 Weeks and Goin Strong

Baby Daddy and I took some pictures last night... right before Ethan turned 30 weeks. YAY! We also bought a stroller that is super cute.

We will have new pictures of Ethan next week, for his 3rd trimester UltraSound. That's totally exciting!

Week 28 Begins and so does the 3rd Trimester :)

A COUPLE PICTURES OF THE CRIB AND MY BELLY AT WEEK 28.

I went to the doc today and everything appears to be fine. He wanted me to take one more day to rest, so I didn't go to work but I'll be back tomorrow. I pretty much suck at going to work right now, but Ethan is my top priority... everything else comes second.

Anyhow, McKernan gave me all sorts of literature on how to register for birthing/parenting/Dad classes and I will hopefully be signing up for those tomorrow while I'm at work. John is totally cool with taking them, so I'm just gonna go ahead and sign us up for all that are available. Can you believe that there are only 12 weeks left? OH MY GOD!! I am so incredibly excited!! I made a shopping list today of the things that we still need to pick up and hopefully we'll be up to some shopping this weekend and can get a bulk of it taken care of. I know that I've still got roughly two weeks to do all this, but it just feels like there is constantly so much stuff that I STILL need to do. Oh yeah, I also took the glucose screening test this morning too, and no news is good news with that one. If I don't here anything back, they said that everything is fine. I scheduled my next appointment for three weeks out (I think it's on the 6th) and that appointment will include a 3-D ultrasound of Ethan (which I LOVE!!) so I'm totally excited for that appointment. Then, I will begin to have appointments every two weeks until 36 weeks, then after that, every week. Glorious.

Oh so Sick...

There's a little picture of the belleh. Not much has changed in the last few weeks... as far as the belly goes. I was in the hospital on Wednesday night and Thursday all day with some unknown, ass-kicking bug. It was really hard for me to do anything for a couple days, and being how today is Monday and I'm still trying to recover- it's been rough. I thank God that me and Ethan are okay, but it's still really scary for me as a first time Mom. Wednesday night at the hospital began in the Labor and Delivery area of the hospital, and OH MY GOD!!.... what a scary and totally intimidating experience that was. All the pregnant women I saw, and all the little babies swaddled tightly in the nursery was... ... ... undescribable. It took everything I had not to start crying at the very sight of them. Everything just seems to be happening so fast. I mean, I'm 28 weeks tomorrow. We've only got 12 weeks left before this huge responsibility and blessing is born into our lives. It's a remarkable feeling and sometimes a little overwhelming. I'm hoping that when it does come time to deliver- that God will bless me with the courage and strength I need to go through with this.

I'm not sure how I am going to continue working through these next several weeks... literally. I have such a hard time getting back into the swing of things since session began. It's alot more stuff to do than I remember, and I'm really feeling like I have taken on too much. And now, with school starting- I have no clue how I am going to get through this. I may have to leave work a little sooner than I thought I was going to have to. I'll keep going as long as a can, but eventually- I know that it's going to become too much. I feel like such a whimp. Being pregnant is alot harder than I imagined it would be.
