Well this weekend was kinda rough... I haven't really been emotional at all but with the move, trying to get everything done and always being gone everything kinda all caught up to me and I wanted to have a melt down. I felt like nothing was getting done fast enough, no matter how much I tried. All in all a decent amount of stuff got done and the baby's room is staring to come together. It will be cute when I'm done. But it's still in the beginning stages, it's a start right. I'll post pictures of it next weekend if I have more done.
I went to the doctors on Friday and all was good. His heart beat was 150 and all my counts were good, I gained 0 weight... Yeah I say!!!! I have not gained a ton but it's 15 pounds more then I've ever weighed in my life and that's enough for me. I know the doctor says your to gain between 25-35 pounds, don't know what man thought that was a great number but if I gain a pound a week like they say you do in the last 8th and 9th month I'll be at 23 pounds by my due date. I'm surely going to try to continue what I'm doing and watch what I eat and swim every night. My tummy seems so big and I know I still have 7 weeks to go. I truly feel that has been the hardest part for me, every time I go to the doctors or I've been traveling and there's a scale in the bathroom, I get on it and it makes me want to cringe. Not that I don't mind doing this all for the outcome of this precious little baby Ashton we will soon have, it's really been the hardest part for me to get used to and surely not love. Oh BOY....
This sure has been in experience and a cool one too. It was so weird at first to feel movement and when he's not kicking now I wonder what he's doing in there if he's not sleeping. So crazy that a life is in their growing like that. WOW !!! We can't wait to meet you little one!!!
Baby's the size of a honeydew now !!!
Things are heating up inside as well: Baby may grow up to a full inch this week alone, and his brain is developing like crazy. Pretty soon, he'll be able to coordinate breathing with sucking and swallowing. Also, his bones are hardening, and he's started to keep his eyes open when he's awake.
Hey Carolyn....Embrace the weight, it's not you it's the baby and making the baby healthy. You are still skinny so don't even worry. Plus, your belly is cute! Think of it this way, there are people that can not or may not even be able to have kids (me, for one) and would do anything for that belly you have! I know though it must be hard for you to not have everything done. You are a go-getter and on top of it. Try not to worry. Take a breather and enjoy it. Don't let it stress you out. Setting up the house; look at it as an adventure...take it from me, life is way to short to stress the little things! Love you and see you soon.
