33 Weeks

Yesterday was our baby appointment and all is going well! I can't believe how big I'm getting... it looks like I've swallowed a soccer ball. I'm all belly! I've gained about 10 lbs so far from my original weight... that's not including how much I lost the first couple of months and gained that all back :-) My glucose test came back negative, but my iron was really low, I had a really bad UTI and I was dehydrated. So, they put me on some antibiotics, iron pills, vitamin C, and something for contractions. OH and I have to drink a gallon of water a day! I'm having crazy bad heart burn not sure if it is because of the iron pills or just because.

I keep telling everyone he will be here Sept 10, but everyone laughs at me... who knows... Nibbler will be the 10th great grand child on both dh and my side of the fam! so the 10th sounds great! (well, on my side there is a little bit of competition, my cousins wife is due the day after me)

Our trip to TX was just amazing! We had two really good baby showers. I think I enjoyed getting to see everyone the most! Wish I'd had more one on one time with everyone though. DH seemed to enjoy himself too. It was the first time since we married that he got to go home with me. Well, other than the showers... we went to the Ft Worth Zoo, and camped at reunion all week! Dh got to do some fun stuff while I was doing the baby shower thing. He and all the boys went to soccer practice with DW. and then him and some of the big boys went to the casino for the other baby shower. I think he had a good time away from all the baby stuff :-)

2 worth while memories:

1. Me: I can't wait till next year Nibbler would love this! He'll get to play in the dirt and everything!

DH: no dirt.

Me: huh? how can you not let him play in the dirt? I did it, well everyone here has and there isn't anything wrong with me is there?

DH: you get to clean him then

Me: that's what a water hose is for lol

2. My mom's friend was there and this is a conversation I had with him JD is 4 yrs old

JD: you have a baby in there (pointing at my tummy)

Me: yep I sure do

JD: I wanna see it

Me: um ok (so i lift my shirt over my tummy) he is right in there

JD: Crack it open I wanna see the baby

Me: (giggling) I can't do that he's not ready to come out yet

JD: oh :-(

Reunion was fun. I didn't get out much cause the heat was making my feet swell. But, hey I was there and had a great time! We also found out our next assignment too! Can't wait!

PA was really nice too! Dh's family is so very loving and generous. Wish we could have stayed longer, but a 2 week vacation from home was a little much for both DH and myself. :-) Dh had a good time. He got new tires and rims for his car. That made his day!

Here is a post from DH thought was amazingly sweet and had to share!

Lets see how many new things we can do at once! New baby, check, moving to Missouri, check, starting a new job in Missouri, check! A weaker man might get overwhelmed, but I am actually really looking forward to all the changes!! Can't wait for Wyatt to get here in 6 weeks!! I can't wait to hold Wyatt and look into his eyes!! I am sure it will be a moment that changes me forever!!

Well, all in all I feel great! Just trying to rest and be good. Only 6 more weeks plus a few days!
