30w1d: Stubborn Girl!

Well, we had the 3D/4D ultrasound and Miss Savannah was having none of it! I was so frustrated. I had been so excited, and she decided to keep her hand over her face almost the whole time!!!!!! We did get a few semi-cute ones. I can't tell who she might look like though...

29w3d: 7 Hours and 8 minutes...

Until I quit working (hopefully for the rest of my life!) I cannot wait to waddle my pregnant behind out of here!!!!! Apparently, my co-workers are giving me a pizza party to say good-bye. I am really not looking forward to all the small talk. I never really made friends with anyone at work so I kind of wish they would just let me slink out without fanfare.

I hope that I enjoy staying at home as much as I think I will. I was the happiest I have ever been when I was a full-time nanny. I know that I got to leave after eight hours, but I have never been as personally satisfied since. Frankly, sitting at a desk is basically torture for me so even the thought of being exhausted, and having a demanding, unpredictable new boss sounds appealing.

I had my shower last weekend...it was FABULOUS!!!! All my dearest friends were there, and the food was beyond delicious. I will write a full post on it when I get to CT...I don't have my camera cord here with me to post pictures and properly document it.

On Friday I am meeting MH in Raleigh. We are going to dinner at Ruth Chris on Friday, yum!!!! Then we are going to a giant consignment sale Saturday morning. We have our 3d/4d ultrasound that afternoon, I can't wait to see her little face (and confirm that she is still a 'she.') I hope I will feel up to seeing Batman that night, but we'll see.

Check back next week for shower and ultrasound pics!!!!

27w2d: I Love a Good Countdown!

Let's see here...89 days until my due date, and only 12 more business at work!!!!!! I'm not sleeping well at night so being able to nap during the day for the next few months is going to be heavenly.

Not much else is happening. My shower is in about a week. I'm very excited about it. Then the next week we're going to have a 3D/4D ultrasound. I can't wait to see her little face!!!!!

26w2d: I Passed!!!!

No gestational diabetes for me!!!!!! What a relief!!!! I said a sad good bye to my doctor today, I will miss her. Hopefully, my new one will be just as good. Everything looked good with the baby. She was measuring big a couple weeks ago, but seems to be within normal range now so we'll see.

26w: 98 Days To Go!!!!

Update- Here is the fabric I choose for the valances!




This is the bedding for Savannah's room, obviously it is very, very simple. I'm going to make some valances for the windows. I'll post pics as soon as I am in CT, and have the nursery somewhat put together!

Here is the crib we picked out this weekend. The one I 'really' wanted was sold out, and Babies R Us didn't inspire much confidence that it would in fact be coming back...so we ordered choice number two.

The movers finally came Friday morning, and are unpacking our stuff in CT right this very minute! I will be giving my notice at work sometime this week! I have a Dr.'s appt. scheduled in CT Aug. 4th. I'm nervous about seeing a new Dr., but I've had a normal pregnancy so there really shouldn't be any issues. I also have my gestational diabetes test on Wednesday. I really, really hope I don't have GD!!!!!

24w4d: She'll be in High School Soon!!!!!!

Time seems to be flying by right now. It reminds me of a scene in "When Harry met Sally." Sally says something to the effect of, "I'm going to be 40!" Harry asks, "When?" and Sally replies, "Someday!" I feel like before I know it Savannah will be choosing colleges!

I know I have been a TOTAL Debbie Downer in my last few posts so here is some good stuff!!! I am moving to CT sooner than expected...July 28th!!!!! They hired MH on permanently so all the nice perks like free flights are gone. We figured that any money I earned would be spent on flights, and seeing each other once a month was just not going to work. The rental house fell through after several traders mentioned that the owner said they could have a key, and crash there when they were too drunk to drive home. That will not work, period. We got a very nice apartment, though. It is closer to MH's work, and he will be able to car pool with his boss, Tim. Tim's wife is a L&D nurse so she has given me recommendations for an OB and pediatrician. The office staff at the new OB's has been very nice. This is HUGE for me since I have to hang-up and call back at my current office when a certain woman answers!!!!

I CANNOT wait to quit my job!!!! July 24th will be my last day! My mom asked me what I would do with myself for two months before the baby arrives: my mom is constantly doing something so I don't think laying on the couch watching TV hold much appeal for her. I will unpack and get things organized, but other than that I am going read, sleep, swim, and watch TV.

23w1d: Hormonal Abyss, or Post Where I Continue Complaining

Well, the precious Wiblet is a little over a pound now, and about 11 inches in length. We scheduled a 3d/4d ultrasound in July so that is exciting!!! Plans for my shower seem to be coming together as well. It's not ALL bad, I promise!!!

I am bone tired. I try to tell myself that this is nothing compared to what it will be like when the baby is actually here, but obviously that is cold comfort.

I am swollen. This has been going on since week 17. My feet and ankles are literally the size of cantaloupes at the end of the day. I can't feel my toes, and it hurts to walk.

I am SWEATY! Since it is approximately 5,000 degrees here there is no relief. I sweat at work, at home, and even in the freaking pool! I hate, hate, hate being hot.

I have carpal tunnel. The only cure for it is delivery. I can't feel my left hand. Oh, and I work in a job where I have to type ALL DAY LONG!!!

I just want to cry and/or scream pretty much all day long. I feel incredibly unstable...like I am possessed. The hormonal part is probably the worst because it reaffirms how little control I have over everything with my body right now. Everything is pissing me off. I hate my job. I'm sick of living with my FIL. I'm sick of being alone all damn day. I'm sick of not having any friends here. I'm sick of feeling like the odd man out since I am pregnant. I want a freaking cocktail!!!!! I want a hot bath!!! I want lunch meat, sushi, hot dogs, and Diet Coke!!!!! I miss my husband. I want to stop thinking that the baby's dead every single hour. I want to take my anxiety meds again.
