14-11-2008 - Baby Fever

My mood while writing this blog: Happy :)

Hey all! Well, the baby shower was a smashing success. We got all the stuff we needed as far as clothes go and then MIL took us shopping for some other items we needed. We also got a bunch of gift cards, so after a few days of visiting with my wonderful MIL we went baby shopping for everything else we didn't get. It's been so fun! Every day I there has been something new to wash or put away. All that's left are the 4 big items: stroller, high chair, swing, & walker. My MIL wants to buy one and FIL wants to buy one, so we should only have to spend a bit more and we have everything. And I do mean EVERYTHING! This little guy is so hooked up! LOL.

The best part about it for both of us though were the home made gifts. My MIL painted these awesome animal pictures (4 in all) and made a cute, old fashioned looking toy box. Our neighbor crochetted us a lovely, sweet blanket with matching hats. Our Aunt made an entire scrapbook for the next year- all we have to do is add the pictures. Lastly, my mom made a diaper bag. It's amazing how thoughtful people can be. We're really grateful for everything because we've had kind of a rough year and didn't know how we were going to pay for everything (credit card debt).

Other than that, I'm feeling pretty good. My inner thighs and hips are very, very sore so I cannot walk or stand a whole lot. I started wearing a maternity belt every day and it seems to have helped. We get to see the midwife every two weeks now, which we are pretty happy about. I got lectured about weight gain (was at a 37 lbs. gain on Mon.), but I'm ignoring her. My husband and I think I look good and I'm not eating that much more so maybe it is just water weight. How many of us really only gain 35lbs??? I know it happens, but everyone I know gained 55-70lbs. and they were just fine afterwards. So I say, enjoy your pregnancy! When else can you rejoice in being fat?! :)

With that I wish you all happy, healthy pregnancies. Have a good weekend! xoxoxo
