26 weeks - 3 days

so we only have a little over 13 weeks left - if he comes on time...CRAZY!! Here is my belly picture from today...

sleeping has been getting difficult. we stayed over at adam's parents house thanksgiving night - and i normally don't have a hard time sleeping as long as we are in the bed upstairs - not while pregnant i guess.... my hips hurt SO BAD! i was rotating probably every hour from side to side - i had to lay for a little bit on my stomach and my back too - of course not too long on my back - but i had to stretch out a little! it brought some great appreciation to my pillow top mattress. my hips still hurt at home in bed - but not as bad. i will be very greatful for when the next 13 or so weeks is over so i can go back to sleeping on my back!

i got the phone call from babies-r-us today - our crib and changing table are in and ready for pickup!! YAY! we'll be picking up on thursday after school - on our way to pick up our tickets for the buffalo bills game on dec. 27th!

adam and i put up the christmas tree last night - i LOVE my prelit tree... so easy! then today we hung lights up outside the house and decorated the tree... it looks so pretty! i LOVE christmas!

next appt is this wednesday! i am scheduled for another ultrasound also! i'll do my best to update right after :)

bye bye second tri...

okay - well lets see... i got the results back from my glucose screening test and i passed with flying colors!! :) yay! (needed to be below 140 and i was 74!!)

and now that i'm about to hit the third trimester (CRAZY!) and because of my history of high blood pressure he wants me to come in once a week - mainly to keep an eye on me in case i develop preeclampsia.... which i am willing myself - not to happen! normally i would go to dr.'s visits every 2 weeks now - but once a week works - i like that they are keeping a good eye on us! also at my next visit i get another ultrasound! he said that i should look toward one ultrasound per month. that'll be nice - i measured a little over a week farther along than i should be.... although i've been told that that isn't all that accurate... so it'll be nice to have the U/S measurements!

so i'm up early and watching DVR'd christmas movies from ABC families countdown to 25 days of christmas... i LOVE christmas - and i LOVE the fact that ABC family counts down to their countdown!! i'm ready to start decorating for christmas... but trying to hold off until after thanksgiving

we've gotten some shopping done for aiden - last weekend we got his pack-n-play thanks to adam's grandparents and this weekend we had some great coupons for babies-r-us that were only good until today... so we bought aiden's bedding and his mobile... and then adam's mom and dad bought us his crib and changing table... they didn't have it in stock so we had to order it - it should be in in the next 2 weeks! i'm so ready to start putting up his room! :)

nothing

so i'm sitting here watching "a baby story" - the first time i've ever watched - and i have 5 in a row to watch... i figured it would help to prepare me...

adam has a new g ride/family mobile -we traded in his chevy silverado and got a chevy tahoe - it's all blacked out - sittin' on 20's - has rims - and an exhaust... adam is on cloud 9! and now we definately have 2 vehicles that are safe for baby aiden :)

i'm really ready and excited to get things going for aiden's room... hopefully in a couple more weeks

23 weeks...

so - what do you think now?
