It's A Girl!!!

Today I am at 27 weeks and had my third and last ultrasound and we discovered the baby is a girl! This was a shock since I thought it was a boy, and the baby was clearly a girl from the ultrasound. B.J. and I are very happy and it's a big relief to finally know. Now I can pick a color to paint the room (probably light green) and shop for cute girl clothes.

Everything with the pregnancy is going well, the doctor said I should eat less carbs and more protein since the baby's body was a bit small for 27 weeks (the head measured exactly 27 wks). I have been eating alot of carbs since I haven't been able to eat much meat so the doctor said to eat nuts and cheeses. That I can do. I also have had killer heartburn the past couple days, so no more oranges past 8:00pm. Everything else is going well.

Have a good week everybody!

Turkey makes everyone tired

It's only Tuesday!?

I really don't feel like working today so here is what's on my mind:
1) I feel like crap today.
2) Since Thanksgiving is coming up, I am thankful for Sprite. This beverage has been a lifesaver since I have become pregnant.
3) Work is really getting on my nerves, the incompetence around here is amazing.
4) Ultrasound on the 27th, I am so excited for this, it's all I can really think about.
5) We are going to Oxford on Friday, the weather will be sunny and in the 50's. Perfect football weather.
6) I am not looking forward to Thanksgiving turkey. Still having issues with eating/chewing meat. I find this upsetting since I usually love Thanksgiving dinner.
7) Flanagan has stinky feet and needs a bath.
8) I wish we could pay someone to finish the baby's room, I want it done before Christmas, but I just don't see that happening.
9) I need to start wearing maternity shirts since I am running out of regular clothes that still fit.
10) I am also thankful for gap.com which is having a sale on maternity clothes. I love the internets. Also, the google.

Weird

This is one of those weird things in life that kind of freaks me out.

25 Weeks

It's been a busy few days. Last week I was at a work convention for OAIMA which went well and I met people that I talk to on the phone but had never seen in person. It's nice to put a face with a voice. Archie Griffin spoke at the Thursday lunch and he was and is awesome. I did get some shopping done at the Easton Town Center, but I got really tired and my feet started to hurt so it was an early night for me.

This weekend Anne and Soha threw me a baby shower, it was nice to see my aunts from northern Ohio, and I had a great time. Thanks to Anne for planning and thanks to Soha for hosting!

Today I had a doctor's appointment for a glucose screening. I will have results in a couple days. I got to hear the baby's heartbeat again and it was so cool! While the heart monitor thing was on my stomach, the baby kicked it really hard, and moved away. It was very cute. The baby kicks harder every week and does not like me slouching at my desk because he/she kicks like crazy when I do. It is such a weird yet amazing feeling!

Germ Freaks

Saw this article in the NY Times today about germ freaks and related products. It all seems crazy and a bit much to me. Just wash your hands frequently and that's all you need.

Busy November

I can't believe it's November already and I am 24 weeks pregnant. The weeks are just flying by! This is going to be a busy month, I have two doctor's and a dentist appointment, a baby shower, and a work conference. Later this week I will be in Columbus for the Ohio Aggregates and Industrial Minerals Association annual meeting. It is at the Hilton at the Easton Town Center, which is one of the best malls. Hopefully I will have time to do some shopping.

We haven't done any work on the baby's room, which is making me kind of anxious. We need to refinish the floors, sand and paint the window trim, and paint the walls. We don't have a wall color yet, but if we are having a boy the room will be blue, and yellow if we are having a girl. We should know by the end of the month, I have an ultrasound on the 27th.

Things will be crazy this week so I might not get a chance to post. I will make sure to give an update about my work conference, I know you all are just waiting in anticipation. Have a good week!
