Looking back at New Years Eve when we first found out we were pregnant, time has flown! I'm trying to stay positive - knowing I could still have 11 weeks left seems forever, but it will be so worth it. Everything is going GREAT! At my last appointment [last Thursday] I was measuring right on schedule, Kingston's heart beat sounded very strong, and I had gained a total of 20 pounds. The midwife was very encouraging and said I'm having a great pregnancy, which I could agree to. My gestational diabetes test also came back negative, praise the Lord!
Hard to imagine I've got a 3 pound baby growing inside of me, despite the knees and elbows I feel. We've gotten to feel him "roll" a lot lately and that is such a neat feeling. I'm having a bit trouble sleeping these days, and peeing is becoming a constant nightly thing. I've had a lot of discomfort lately as well - I think he is so low already, the weight is getting to me, and the heat does not help! We've had heat indexes of 100 lately and it gets hard to breath! I'm trying to walk on my father in law's treadmill, rather than outside. We also go swimming every afternoon that we can. I'm trying to stay fit and active so my labor will be easier.
Thanks to Adam's mom and step-dad we should be getting our pack & play sometime next week, and we went ahead & ordered our swing so that should come too. And thanks to my lovely mother and step-father, we should be receiving our glider/ottoman and bedding set shortly!!! It's all coming together... now we just have to finish painting the nursery... which is supposed to happen next weekend. Let's hope we stay on schedule! My first baby shower is scheduled for Wednesday July 15th at work, and my big shower with family and friends is Saturday July 25th. My mom and step-dad are coming down for that and I'M SO EXCITED!!!! It will have been 7 months since I've seen them! Man.. time does fly!
