Things around here have been busy. Well at least for my sweet husband. He has been working so hard to get things fixed at work. 80+ hour weeks last week and projected for this one as well. It's been hard not seeing him but his dedication to things is one of the things I love so much about him. Even though he may not HAVE to stay he does anyway because his guys have to (and maybe slightly because he wants to be a super hero :o) ).
The weekend before last they came and finished up our roof. We've had a nice amount of rain and no leaks from what we can tell so that is a huge yay! It's nice that all these big projects are getting done before baby boy arrives. Having to spend the money stinks but it's awesome having friends who are willing to help out and save you thousands of dollars :o)
While they were working on the roof I met my mom halfway where we had Cracker Barrel for lunch and did some outlet shopping. We don't do things like that often and neither of us had ever been to the outlet mall so it was a good time. Baby boy got a TON of new clothes but the deals were wonderful. Again, I really wanted to try the used thing but I just can't bring myself to do it. I'd rather pay a couple dollars extra for something new that I know exactly what it has been through...I'm sure that will change eventually but for now I'm sticking to it.
Our little boy is going to be sylin' come his birthday. Now to figure out what we are going to bring him home in!
He's a LaGrange, so the flannel was a necessity. They are two of my favorite outfits though :o)
Mom's getting him started out right. Now he just needs the NC State hat to match! Go wolfpack!
While mom was waiting for me at Cracker Barrel she found this sweet little teddy bear. So he now has his first teddy bear that will play peek-a-boo with him. You squeeze his hand and he plays peek-a-boo about 5 different ways and giggles like a baby. Hopefully it will create a lot of laughter for baby boy once he learns to laugh :o) There is nothing sweeter then the sound of a baby giggling!
Our new countertops are being installed next Thursday. I'm REALLY excited about them. It's funny how the things that excite you change over the years. Andy took off so he can be here to supervise and I just happened to get a dentist appointment for the same day ;o) I figure he's been gone so much it will be nice to get some time together. I'll have to take some before and after photos even though the bottom cabinets still aren't painted.
As for me I'm still feeling fine. Things seem to be going well. I've managed to come down with another cold which is annoying but other than that all things pregnancy related seem to be great. I go Monday for my next appointment. I have to do the glucose test which I'm a little nervous about. More so that I can drink the stuff in under 5 minutes than anything else. You hear about people throwing up from how sweet it is and feeling miserable afterwards but nope, I'm just nervous about being able to drink it in the first place. I think our secretary at school is getting frustrated with me being out a lot but there isn't much I can do about it. I feel bad but part of me doesn't. In the end I'm more than likely not going back so it is what it is I guess.
Here is a 27 week almost 28 week belly shot along with the questionnaire:
How far along: 28 weeks
Total weight gain: ~13 pounds
Maternity Clothes: Let's just say yes
Stretch marks: Not that I know of
Sleep: More comfortable now that Andy got me an awesome body pillow. I do wake up a lot though :o(
Best moment of the week: Feeling baby boy move like crazy. Almost took my breath away earlier this week! And realizing there are only 12 weeks left :o)
Miss anything?: Not really. Maybe not feeling guilty since I have been sick and having tooth issues and baby appointments a lot lately...
Food cravings: I believe they are starting...tonight would be Mexican and cake with whipped cream icing!
Anything make you queasy or sick?: Nope
Gender: BOY
Labor signs: I should hope not!
Belly button in or out: It's still hanging in there...for now.
Wedding rings on or off: On but I think they might be getting snugger :o(
Happy or moody most of the time?: I'd say a good mix. Trying to be more on the happy side though!
Looking forward to: Getting to hear baby boy's heartbeat again on Monday :o)
