29 Weeks and the nursery is almost complete!






So, here I am at 29 weeks along. I've only gained 13 pounds, but, man, do I feel like it's a lot more than that! I had a doctor's appt this week and all is well except for some anemia. So now I'm on serious iron pills along with my prenatal vitamin AND cold meds for a severe cold my sister was so kind to share with me. Other than that, I feel good. My tailbone is still healing, but at least I can sit for a little while. I put together the crib this weekend and there is only a little bit more I have to do to finish the nursery. The big pile of baby stuff will eventually be put in the closet once I put the shelves in and the nursery chair I registered for at Pottery Barn Kids will go right there. Other than that, we have some wall hangings and I picked out a rug to go down. My sewing bookshelf will go up in the attic once all the other things are done, leaving a little space for walking. Its a small room, but perfect for our little one. I registered at PBK as well as BabiesRUs recently, so that was fun. My church is planning a shower in May as well, so it will be party month!
Aram is kicking my bladder right now, so I must go, but hope you enjoy the updates.

It's a Boy! 28 Weeks

Well, we had an adventurous week last week. I bent over and sneezed on Monday and heard a "pop" and then couldn't sit down (and still can't a week and a half later). The baby was pretty quiet on Tuesday morning, so I got concerned and called the doctor and they insisted that I go to St. Joseph's Labor and Delivery Triage. Well, of course, as soon as they hooked me up to the fetal heart monitor, the baby went CRAZY! He hates any vibration whatsoever, so was moving around and kicking the monitor for 2.5 hours. Luckily the baby was fine, and I just have a cracked tailbone (which is beginning to heal nicely.) When all was said and done, we got another ultrasound out of the deal and found out that it's a boy. Aram Isaac will arrive at the end of June/ beginning of July! I'm feeling crazy huge at this point and have noticed that my ankles are swollen, Oh Joy! At least the weather is nice now and I'm busy working outside, since I can't get comfortable in a chair to sit and relax anyway. Looking forward to my upcoming shower and am busy sending out invites. Hope to see you all there! Here I am at 27 weeks along and then here I am putting the invites together this week.
