30 Weeks

Wow there it is 30 weeks, and I am FEELING it!!

The other day I was putting lotion on my stomach and David says "wow your skin is like way tight," yes thank you David for pointing out the obvious, haha. On that same note, whose idea was it to make pregnancy be 40 weeks? I remember feeling this exact same way about this exact same time with Colin; DONE! Alas there is no solution but to let the bump continue to take over. I find myself getting more and more annoyed when I have to sit down to do anything that involves my feet, like putting on socks and shoes. Today I asked David to pass me the remote to the TV as he left the room and he set it on the ottoman in front of me. I was quick enough to say "Nope, closer"before he could walk away. Initially I think he was a little annoyed, but I think he realized there was no way I was going to be able to reach the remote any easier on the ottoman than where it had been on the opposite arm rest of the couch; he is slowly catching on :)

Let's see what else.... I had my glucose test, but I don't know my results yet.

 I can remember Colin rustling around a lot but this kid is seriously a soccer player. I still feel like baby is a boy, but David and I both tease that baby is going to be some timid gentle little girl after all this kicking and punching (seriously this kid is a little violent sometimes). Our family, on both sides is becoming increasingly annoyed or rather impatient about our decision to wait to see what the baby is, and that is fun. The nursery, is well, still 100% a work in progress. David has had test Armageddon the last two weeks and other than basic chores not a whole lot has been accomplished around here; yikes. I feel like I should be more worried than I am about how un-far along that whole project is going but I'm just too lazy to care right now. Hopefully the nesting thing (i.e.- motivation) will kick in before there is any real need to panic.  

The other day I managed to buy some curtains for $4.97. I used a gift card to Pottery Barn David and I had gotten from Colin's Mama for our wedding, but lost immediately after because of moving. That is why gift cards are so handy, you never know when your recipient might lose it for a year. The curtains are a little more "girly" than I had hoped but they are green and honestly by the time it would matter to this kid he won't even live in this house, so I'm not concerned. 

The style is supposed to be wrung up so they came all wound up in a little pouch. I didn't really like that because it looked like a pleated skirt, but now you can see the flowers better. I didn't realize the pattern was so flowery. Online it looked more like paisley stuff, which I guess is also kinda girly but I only had so much I could spend and I wasn't about to go crazy on baby nursery curtains. Once they are hanging up and they have a little movement in them I'm sure they will look fine. 

I'm not really sure what else to say except that waiting two more months is a painful thought. I really don't want to get much bigger, I'm already freaking out haha. I feel like by the time I really got completely over the anxiety of telling everyone and them possibly NOT being excited about David and I having a baby, I was far enough into pregnancy that it was starting to get to the uncomfortable stage. I'm hoping that with our next baby I will finally be able to relax and really enjoy the whole experience from beginning to end. Not that this one has been bad by any means but seeing as how this is my first baby and second pregnancy I still had some hang ups from last time. We are starting to get excited the closer we get. Today I signed us up for our babies, childbirth and more class at the hospital now which will start in about 3 weeks. Also we have been rather terrible at remembering to tear off the chain links on our count down every night. Instead we end up tearing off 3-5 links a couple of times a week :) 

Lastly I have a story to share. I'm leaving out some details so as not to dish too much on David but the general idea is all it takes. David has had a lot of time to himself lately because he has had to study and I needed to not bug him. During a lunch break together (lately meals is all we really get) this weekend he told me that he had been thinking about how little our baby will be and that it made him get all choked up. I think it embarrasses him to share things like that with me but I LOVE it, he is going to do so great when the baby gets here.
