Getting closer...

So I feel like it has been forever since I posted and it's because I have been so busy and I guess a little lazy. All my doctor appointments have been going good. Baby is still head down and growing at a normal rate. I am getting bigger and gaining more weight by the day. Every time I go to the doctor, the worst part is getting on the scale. I know it will come off afterwards, but still, being this big is a little scary sometimes. I am growing a life inside me and it is amazing so whatever else comes with it is fine with me. Jadon is definitely a strong little boy. His kicks have gotten stronger in the last couple of weeks and I can see my stomach move, which is pretty cool. Sometimes he puts his foot out of my stomach and I can push back on it. I love playing with my little man and can't wait until he is here to play with him for real.

We finished our birth classes and did our hospital tour. That made things even more real that we are getting closer to having our little boy. It is very exciting. I feel more prepared and that helped ease some anxiety. Now it is just a waiting game to see when he will decide to come. Our bags are packed for the most part. I wanted it all done before school started so it was 1 less thing to worry about.

While my family was in town, we got Jadon's room all set up and it is ready for him. We did some cleaning of the house, moving things around and packing things up. There is still more to do and I have been doing it a little at a time, but am just so tired more days that I can't do too much. Then when I do a lot, I get really sore. Sleeping at night is ok. I am uncomfortable a lot and get up to pee like 3 times, but it could be worst. Sometimes when I do wake up, I can't fall back to sleep because my mind is racing (or Jadon is kicking the crap out of me).

What I am not liking right now...
Stretch marks have started. I knew I was going to get them so I don't know why I am surprised. They aren't too bad yet, but I still have some time to go. Heart burn is still getting me almost everyday. Dental work is just killing me. They are having so much trouble with what they are doing and it is causing me pain as well as having to go out there like every week. School is starting soon and I have been trying to work on lesson plans so I am a little more prepared before we go back to work. I don't want to go back to work, but I know it won't be for too long, because then I will be on maternity leave. :)

That's about all I can think of right now. I am hoping to have at least 1 more post in before little man comes, but we will see how busy I am with school starting tomorrow and still trying to get things done and ready around the house.

Until next time...
