Week 30

So this is week 30. Only 10 more to go and I must admit I am really ready. I have been experiencing sciatica for over a week and I can barely walk. The doctor referred me to get physical therapy and I hope it works because I cannot take this pain for 2 more months. I am now going to the doctor every 2 weeks. At my appointment on Monday my blood pressure was a little high for the first time. I am not really swelling so the doctor is not concerned. She also said I have calcium in my urine which can mean kidney stones so I am taking an over the counter supplement and hopefully that will do the trick. These past few weeks have been very difficult and uncomfortable. I hope I can manage but I am really miserable. One cool thing is that we are definitely seeing the baby move around. I can see a big round ball moving around in my skin. Its so cool to see.

Baby Shower

We had our baby shower last week and it was a great party. It wasnt the typical female only shower. We had all of our co-ed friends, music, crawfish boil, ect. It was great to see all my friends new and old. My sister and my mom really did a great job. The party lasted for several hours and I was beat by the end. We got so much stuff. We are so lucky to have great people in our lives. Now our task is to put everything in its place. Here is a link to the pictures of the shower.

New Pictures-28 weeks

Here are the pictures of our little girl. She has the cutest little cheeks. I can't wait to see what she looks like. I can't wait to meet her.

It's a Girl!

Today we had our ultrasound and this time it is perfectly clear that we are having a girl! I am so happy. I already had my mind set on a girl but now I know for sure and I don't have to wonder. I am glad we decorated in a gender neutral theme of Winnie the Pooh. I can start buying cute little panties with ruffles. The baby is 2 1/2 pounds and everything is measuring right on target. I am starting to get really big and I am getting tired easily. I have gained way too much weight which really bothers me but Jason said this is the only time I have an excuse to be big so I should not beat up on myself. I am not going to use this as an excuse to eat whatever but I am glad I have such a great guy to stand by me and who loves me and appreciates what my body is going through. I just cant wait to start running again! Sometimes we play argue over who gave who this baby. Did he give it to me or did I give it to him? Now that we are 28 weeks I have to start doing kick counts. It is kind of a pain but it is a way to track the babys movement. The one thing I notice is my focus and motivation is lacking. I am trying to finish this one class and I can barely get myself off the couch to read the material. I have a test in 3 weeks and a book report due and I havent started either. Sometimes I just want to quit but I keep telling myself I have 7 weeks left. I just need to tough it out!
