Seems like everyone is sick these days, I guess it's just that time of year. I've been spending a lot of time at home these days. Partly because everyone seems to be sick and I don't want to chance catching anything, and part because I've been SO exhausted I haven't really been up to doing anything...not even my normal cleaning around the house, and forget dinner.
Baby Reis kicks all the time, and I enjoy knowing that he/she is doing well. Though I can tell Baby Reis is gaining a lot of weight by how much bigger my belly has gotten. I really couldn't have ever imagined I'd get this big and everyday I look in the mirror and say "This belly just couldn't possibly get any bigger", but it seems everyday it does.
Yesterday I had to go into the eye specialist again to get my Chalazion drained AGAIN. The worst part is when they stick the needle into my eyelid to numb it...and it's SO hard to sit still in such an uncomfortable position with baby reis ricking all over the place. My eye was really swollen and sore, but this evening it's starting to feel better. I hope this time the "surgery" worked and I won't have to have it done again...just way too painful...though after giving birth I'm sure my idea of pain will change ;)
I took a nice 2.5hr bath today. My tailbone and back have been so sore lately, it felt really nice to take a warm bath. Though, I'm pretty sure it just made me more tired.
Aurelio and I are looking into getting a new camera; the pathetic digital ones we have right now are just not going to cut it with a new baby. We want to make sure to get good pictures of the birth and the first few days of life with baby reis. Hopefully Aurelio can decide which one he wants and order it so that we receive it BEFORE baby reis decides to come out and play.
I'm having some girlfriends over on Tuesday to enjoy the pool and some snacks. I'm really looking forward to seeing them since they've all been sick and out of circulation this past week. It's great to have a group of moms that have young babies; they've already given me some really helpful advice and they are so supportive.
I've been working hard on a cross-stitch pattern for the nursery; a baby announcement. It's coming along but I know it won't be done in the next two weeks. I've already made a bunch of bonnets for when the baby arrives and I keep going back and forth on which outfit I want to be the baby's first. I wish I could have crocheted one, but I tried and it was a little too advanced for me...even the booties gave me too much trouble. They looked like little elf shoes!
Lily and Daisy have started acting weird, they are really needy and always want to lay on my belly or next to it. They follow me around the house like lost little puppies and get all depressed if I leave them in their kennels too long. I really think they can sense baby is on the way soon.
I have mixed emotions about the upcoming birth. I'm really excited to meet baby reis and see what he/she looks like; but I'm also thinking I'm going to miss being pregnant a little. Everyone goes out of their way to help you and not having to pack a diaper bag every time I leave the house is pretty nice. I'm trying to enjoy the pregnancy as much as I can; which has been hard at times with all the aches and pains, heartburn, and the 5 months of throwing up in the beginning. But there's nothing quite like feeling the baby beat you up from the inside out :).
Our due date is June 13th, and hopefully we won't be more than a few days late. I certainly don't have anymore room in my belly for baby to gain weight! :)
