Moving!

THIRTY-THREE WEEKS

Well, here's me moving again. Can't say where, unfortunately... But somewhere new and exciting!

 It's best that I journal elsewhere too. Henry and I bid you adieu!

Achy Breaky Feet

THIRTY-ONE WEEKS

Can you spot the misanthropic bear?
The third trimester symptoms are upon me. Legs and feet are swelling, lungs are crowded, heartburn abounds... Brain - fried. I've also been nesting like crazy. Last night, I piled two loads of baby clothes into the washer and I spent an hour folding them while I watched season one of The Monkees. (Off topic, but - oh my god - Davy Jones! Rest in peace, you long-haired weirdo!). Jared and I picked up the rest of Henry's things from my uncle's. The invites for the baby shower are out (and they're super cute!). I'm nearly finished reading The Happiest Baby on the Block (read it! it's wonderful!).

I also got a hair cut today, thank goodness. It's not shown in the picture, but I'm liking it.

Not sure what else to write... Just terribly tired, congested, and my feet are killin' me.

Get Down with the Staph

THIRTY WEEKS!

The final stretch is here! Only roughly ten more weeks to go and so much left to do... My step-mother and -aunts are planning my baby shower (!!!) for April 14th with a possible Little Prince theme. If I had a nursery that's what I would've planned, so I'm very happy that it may be the theme of the shower! I'm also considering a Little Prince tattoo in the future for Henry.

That is, on me - not on Henry.

But I'll be staying away from needles and things for a while (aside from that blessed epidural) as I have a nasty case of staph infection on my inner thigh. Basically, I lanced a pimple and Jared whisked me away to the ER the next day. Good thing too, because I wouldn't have expected it to be as bad as it actually is... So I'm on antibiotics four times daily and using a salve twice daily.

We've been having some car trouble, so we've been unable to pick up Henry's things from my uncle's place, as well as his crib and other things at my step-aunt's. I am deep in the nesting state of mind though, so it's driving me batty! I've been working all day on my baby registry though, so if anyone's curious or has suggestions, here's the link:


Gotta say one more thing before I go... Henry and I have started playing a little game where he'll kick me, I'll poke back, he'll kick me, and I'll poke back. It goes back and forth like that for a few minutes. I can't wait to see this kiddo... :)
