Waiting for baby

It's been awhile since I've updated. I'm doing pretty good. I've had some issues with sleeping and breathing at the same time. My OB told me to take some Zantac for acid reflex. This helped for a few nights.

I took a couple days off work due to not being able to sleep and breath. I noticed that when I would fall asleep that I was holding my breath and would wake up to breath and would feel short of breath. I went to my GP to make sure this wasn't a big issue. I was told that if I wasn't pregnant that he'd order a sleep study. He thought that it could have to do with pregnancy. Time will tell. Another thing it could be is a blood clot. However the blood test that is done can be inconclusive with pregnancy. My blood test came back as abnormal however he didn't want to do any further testing because it could harm the baby, unless things get worse. If I have problems after I have the baby I'll need to follow up with my GP. This has gotten better.

I've also have had some chest congestion. Thank goodness for Sudifed.

The baby's room is already. I think I have everything I need for baby at this point.

I'm hoping to have the baby before the end of the year. The baby is head down and has dropped.

My Mom and both by brothers are coming to visit mid January so we are hoping that the baby isn't late.

When I was in to the my OB I was dilated to a 2. I have an appointment on Thursday afternoon so I'll try to update shortly after that.

Shower games

I'm almost ready to be finished being pregnant. I'm getting more and more uncomfortable. My back has been bothering me for some time now. Breathing is getting difficult. I have acid reflex that makes sleeping difficult. Those are my complaints for the day.

I'm still working on getting the baby's room ready. I still have stuff of mine and Judge's that need to find a new home someplace. It's also filling up with baby stuff. I've been given a lot of nice things that my friends are finished with. I can't believe have generous people are. Some I haven't known that long.

I've had a couple baby showers this last week. My co-works have me one. I was blown away by how much they gave me. I think it helps that I've worked in many different groups over the years and many knew Judge as well. Some of the highlights that I received are a car seat, jogging stroller, diapers, crib sheet, cloths. The list goes on.

I can't wait until next spring to use the jogging stroller. I'll have to find a marathon to train for. Or maybe I'll start out with a half. I miss running regularly. The only running I get to do now is running to the bathroom. So maybe it's more of a waddle.

Yesterday I had a shower with my friends hosted by Bonnie Kohl, Jennifer Shasky, and Dawn Jasperson. We had a lot of fun playing shower games, eating and of course I got to open more gifts. I got more diapers, cloths, bottles, and toys.

I've been keeping busy working of course, and trying to keep my house clean. I tire out easy. It's frustrating because I see what needs to be done in my house, I'm either too sore or too tired.
