  • God is sooooo Awesome! So I was stressed about the whole tooth and dental insurance thing...welll...medicaid is going to cover my dentist's visit!!! I hate going to dentists, but this is such a great thing!

    I thought I was going into labor last night because from midnight until about 9am, my back and lower abdomine was having cramps like i was on my time of the month. It was really weird! And it definitely didn't feel very good. So last night I tossed and turned and finally fell asleep at about 4:30 this morning...and got up at 7am not able to go back to sleep. Finally it stopped and hasn't returned...so I'm just taking it easy until she decides to come!

  • It's so nice to hear other people's perspectives on things because, without having a child...It's hard to know what is best for us. We decided that we will put up the crib in our room, and probably keep her in there until we move to a house in february. If it gets unbearable later on...we can always change where the crib is...

    It's so odd the cravings I have got during this pregnancy. Right now I am craving mcdonalds...and normally i hate mcdonalds. It is way too greasy and I don't understand why I want it now. I have heard maybe it is because of the grease that I want it so bad...and have been told to lay off...but I'm thinkin...why not indulge? I won't be pregnant forever and won't have an excuse for the fat I'm gaining!!! I have gained a lot of weight, but I have heard that it's pretty common. The last couple of times I went to the doctor though, they told me I need to lay off the carbs and eat more fruits and veggies....But they hardly fill me up...then I'm hungry again in no time. Another thing I have been craving lately is milk, scrambled eggs with cheese, hot sauce and ketchup, and toast. I'm sure that's because I need extra calcium. I have had this horrible toothache the last couple of days, and don't really know how to handle it...I don't have dental insurance until after July 1st...but am in my third trimester...so I don't even know what they will be able to do. I will probably have to wait until after Abigail comes for me to get it fixed.

    James got a dollar raise! I am so thankful for that!! It's been pretty hard being as I haven't been able to work...so this extra dollar is gonna be such a huge help!!

  • I am so glad to be in week 33!!! It feels like it's been forever..even though it really hasn't! Abigail is going crazy inside me, and my braxton-hicks contractions are becoming much more common. I washed all of her clothes and blankets that we have of hers so far...but will surely have to do it again after this weekend because of the showers. I'm just so thankful that we are this close to her arrival.

    I have been staying inside most of the days because it has been so humid! I really hate the heat right now...Usually, I love it, but being this swollen, and pregnant :)...It just doesn't appeal to me!

    Last night I was sitting on the bed looking at my belly, and I couldn't believe how much movement she is still making! Its nuts!!! I put my hand on my tummy, and she used her elbow or knee or something to push it off because she didnt like it there. It was so awesome because it stayed there for a few seconds...so I saw it as plain as day!

    When I went to the doctor, all they did was the normal routine stuff. Nothing crazy and exciting or new. Except my weight gain...I have gained more than I should...Probably from eating anything i want :) I just feel like this is a time when I can indulge...to a certain extent...because afterwards...I will be doing all sorts of exercise and activity just with having a new baby in the house.

    ~~~~I need some opinions...We only live in a one bedroom right now, and are looking at putting the crib up...but can't decide really where it should go...Everyone is telling us not to have it in our room..but until March, we don't have much of a place for it other than the dining room...It sounds bad...but we just couldn't afford a two bedroom right now...so some people have been saying to use the dining room as her nursery...well, then where would we have the kitchen table...it would have to be taken down...but do you think it would be best for her area to be outside of our room or what...I just need some pointers, as i'm new to this whole mommy thing :)~~~~

  • My doctor's appointment is tomorrow and I'm trying to figure out whether or not it will be like all the others where they check my weight, blood pressure, Abby's heart beat, and my hcg levels...or if they are going to  check to see if i'm dialated. I kinda hope they do check just for my peace of mind.

    I am really thinking about putting highlights in my hair...I have heard it's not good for baby...but I need a change up...I am ready for something new.

    ------------------------------------EDIT------------------------------------

    Just to let everyone know...The above statement does not mean I am going to highlight my hair without any regard to my baby!!!!! I care and love my baby very much, and would not do something intentionally if it meant hurting her!!!!! People really need to watch what they say before they say it....meaning think about your actions before it's already done and people are hurt! Not to mention...unless you have been in that person's shoes...you have no idea of the situation other than what is read...I am not trying to be mean, nor am I trying to create turmoil...I am just wanting to get my point across.

    I had such a hard time motivating myself to go to church this morning. I wasn't tired...nor was I not feeling well...I was just lazy I guess. So 10 minutes before time to be there, James and I get up, throw on some clothes, do a quick look in the mirror, fix the odd hairs on my head...and ran out the door. It turned out being really inspirational. It was about growing more intimate with our God through prayer...and how prayer is such an important part of our relationship with Him. James got a father's day key chain...so totally neat!!!

    After church we went up to the nursery to have a look, and was told that they are buying us a crib!!!! Can you believe it?!?!? I couldn't because they are so expensive. It almost made me cry (mainly because of my emotions!) but I withheld it.
    They are so thoughtful!

  • Lately, I haven't really even wanted to go do anything. I don't know if that is normal at 31 weeks, but I feel like a blimp, and nothing fits right... I sound like such a girl!!!

    I'm trying to get everything situated for Abigail's arrival, but our apartment just isn't big enough. I can't find a place for anything. If/when we get our crib for her, I have NO CLUE where it will go. I think the computer is going to end up on the kitchen table, and out of our room...so we can make room for Abby... Hmmm...I'm not sure...Because I want our kitchen table to be just that....A KITCHEN TABLE... But at this point, I suppose it doesn't matter...Plus we will be moving into a house in March of next year...She will be around 8 months. WOW!!!

    I think...as I am writing....that we DO need to move the computer...I don't really want to, but we need to make room for Abby. She is going to be amazing!

  • Today was a pretty good day. I got to see one of my friends from high school that I haven't seen in a couple of years, and she couldn't believe how pregnant I am. I think it's so crazy how much people change after graduating from high school. They even look a ton different.

    Anyway, my mood swings are going nuts. I have been feeling just pretty much depressed and lazy. And my husband has been taking a lot of flack from me...I over-react on everything, but at the time...it seems to be the best thing to do...although, rationally it's not. I feel really bloated and tired all the time. I fell asleep at about 2am, but aside from the peeing through the night, I got about 6 hours of sleep. Then kept falling back to sleep up until about 3:30pm. It felt nice to vegitate...

    Baby Abby is moving so much!!! It's super neat to feel her inside of me, but it's getting to where it hurts everytime...I don't know if that is normal...but will ask at the doctors next week. See I have a bicornuate uterus, which means that there isn't much room for baby after about 29 weeks. Well, I am 31 weeks, and the doctor doesn't seem to think I will last much longer...
    Anyway, that's enough for now...will talk more about everything lata!
