Cyber Monday and 31 weeks!

Well yesterday was suppose to be the biggest online shopping day of the year! Did you get some great deals, I know I looked but couldn't decide on anything. We also went "shopping" this past weekend and came away empty handed because we are not sure if Wayne will be able to drive home for the holidays or fly. If he drives in then he will stay at home, if he doesn't have his release date then he'll fly in and fly out for the holidays. So, we don't want to buy gifts up here only to have to ship them back home. Plus we really didn't like anything we saw.

Today I begin my 31st week, less than 10 weeks to go. Anywhere from 6-12 weeks away from a babino. Hopefully about 8 weeks is what we are hoping for. I go for my next prenatal on Dec. 11th and will be 33 weeks then, I'll also go two weeks later and then every week to see if I'm dilating or effaced. How exciting, j/k! I know then labor will be shortly thereafter. Yikes! I'm not ready. I still have all of my Christmas shopping and one last shower. I need to get my hospital bag together and all the last minute things for Truett. I'm ready to finally see the little monkey that's been moving constantly.








I read somewhere that I'm suppose to feel him move something like 10 times an hour. That would definitely be an understatement. I could probably count 10 times in 2-5 minutes at any given time. At night he slows down after I fall asleep, well, I guess he does because he doesn't wake me up. Then when I eat breakfast at 6:45 a.m. he's back at it, all day long!

I'm going to post a picture of my belly from the front, that is where I see the biggest expansion, he sits sooo low in my tummy that I'm afraid he will come out when he "drops".

Happy Thanksgiving and 30 weeks!!!

Sorry it's been awhile since I've posted anything. I have been home and without a digital camera and the "film" camera's battery is dead and we didn't have an extra one at the house. So, I made it back to see my hunny in Indianapolis. We will spend Thanksgiving together but without the rest of our families. While I was at home my sister and I had a baby shower. We had a great time together and was very sad to see that time pass so fast. I flew into Indianapolis last Monday and it was so great to see my baby (Wayne). I know when this baby (Truett) gets here it will be confusing because Wayne is my baby but Truett will be the baby, see why it's confusing.

Today I began my 30th week and I'm definitely popping, or at least it feels like it is. I had a good bit of discomfort yesterday and think it's because Truett is growing and my muscles and ligaments are having to cooperate with him. This week he should be roughly 3 lbs. and 14 inches long. WOW!! We almost have a newborn. Keep on growing little man! He should put on 6-8 ounces every week, so about a half of a pound each and every week. Now I know why I am stretching my ligaments. But, hey no sign of stretch marks -yet anyways! I've kept my skin hydrated but the water and weather up here are so different, it dries my skin out so bad. Wayne says his is dried out too.



Wayne heard yesterday that they are going to be closing the CAT office here soon. So, we are thinking around Christmas they will close everything down. A girl that got here the same day as Wayne got her release date, but no word on Wayne's release date. We will be ecstatic if he comes home for Christmas. I promised my OB I would not come back up here after my next appointment on Dec. 11th. I will be 33 weeks and will feel better knowing I'm closer to my home. I also have a baby shower on Dec. 9th, the day after I get back home. This is Wayne's side of the family and friends. I hope to keep you more updated now. So stay tuned.
