What I've Been Up To
7 Weeks more or less to go guys! My baby shower is over. It turned out SO great. Friends I hadn't seen for years, along with the nearest and dearest that I see all the time, all meshed so well despite the fact that they were all strangers to each other. We had five little girls running around; So cute! I'll have to get a post up just about the shower. My 32 week prenatal appointment was another easy quickie. The OB said I was just "showing off." :o)~ I don't feel that way of course, but as long as everything is looking good to him I'm content. I got in with a new dentist to make sure I'll get a cleaning before the baby gets here. My cleaning is next week. The dentist is a woman and SO great. I loved how excited everyone in the office was for my pregnancy. I cleaned all the baby laundry over the course of the last week and my sister helped me hang and sort a lot of it today. I'm just waiting on the Babe Safe mattress covers to come for the bassinet and crib mattresses, for the dresser/changing table to arrive and for the guests I have coming in tonight (who have to sleep on air mattresses on the nursery floor because that's all the room we have right now) to leave so I can FINALLY finish the nursery.
How I am Feeling Physically
My favorite pregnancy symptom is back officially..."morning" sickness!!! Sleeping and sitting nearly upright on lots of pillows helps me keep anything trying to come up down. It's definitely not 100% though. So, now I'm dealing with that along with hot flashes, pain in my back and knees, lots of fatigue and wierd BO. I swear my sweat smells like goat cheese or milk. I don't even eat that stuff! Craziness.
How I'm Feeling Emotionally
I just want to meet my baby and start getting back to normal physically. I know it's important for her to develop her little lungs and put on fat over the next few weeks though. I still have lots to do to get ready for her too. I just don't like feeling so sick and out of control of my body. I'm also conflicted when it comes to all the company we've been having. It's just all coming at a time when I want to be concentrating on myself and my baby. I like being a hostess most of the time. Right now though, I'm tired of it. It seems like the second I finally have free time to devote to the nursery, we get a phone call that family is on the way. The company I have coming in tonight is actually in town to look at houses because they are moving here in a couple of months. I'm excited to see them. I just kind of wish they had gotten a hotel; especially now that I'm back to running to the bathroom. :(
