wk 30!

i am now in my 30's! haha. can't get over how SLOW this pregnancy is going. ha!

i can honestly say, that things are going well. we've hit some rough spots, we've been scared to pieces, spent many nights tossing and turning.  why? fear and torment.  tormenting thoughts, fear of losing the baby. guilt of babies we've lost. torment that it was all my fault.  lies!  last week i realised that it was over a week that i had had a nightmare, sleeplessness or fear. i realised it was about that time that chris one night, when i was asleep, went through the house and prayed over me and nate.  removing fear and torment.  i can honestly say i have had not one second of fear since!

pregnancy stuff!- i was away for the wkend so i didn't weigh myself...but i am guessing about 25-28 pounds in total?  not sure.  this baby is big, way bigger than nate!  i out grew most of all my nate preggo clothes and had to get some more larger things to fit. ha. she is laying very low... i pee a lot. i've taken to reading novels on the throne. ha

food. no cravings. most days i am just not hungry, my stomach is smaller than before so a snack like an apple fills me...for about an hour...then i eat another small meal. no real cravings thou. which i suppose is good....oh wait. orange jucie! which i HATE! up to last week that is, now i must have a glass every morning before breaky. love it now! and oranges, those huge, juicy oranges....yum!

i can tell i am older this time around. ha. like 5 yrs older! i am WAY tired and find it frustrating to deal with. i stopped working out completely. other than a social walk once a week with a friend, i do nothing and feel NO guilt for it. i can work out after the baby. or not.  ha.  my back is sore and the leg cramps are kicking in but it's worth it! 

i am starting the signs of preeclampsia.  blurry vision, dots, swelling and pain in the rib area.  not worried thou!

nursery!  it's almost done! i picked up the last few things in hali this wkend and hope to have it done this week. i am so proud of how CHEAP i did it for! ha.  pic's to follow!  thanks tm charlie and friends this girls has WAY to much clothing!  the only thing i don;t have is receiving blankets or soft blankets!  weird eh?!  i will pick those up soon...oh and diapers....must start a stock pile on those...ha!

most nights after i put nate to bed, i go into the nursery to sit and relax.  8ish weeks she will be here!  wheeeeee!
