Updates!

Sorry it's been so long since I've posted anything. Jason and I have been very busy with work and trying to get the nursery ready. Since I've started teaching again, time seems to be speeding by. I have soooooo many updates, that it'll be easier for me to put them in more of a bullet format. Please bare with me. :)

• Currently I am 28 weeks 5 days. Definately in the 3rd trimester now. Not too much longer. :)


• Jason and I have started our unmedicated birthing class. So far, we've benefited the most from the relaxation techniques. We have 4 more classes to go.


• I passed the glucose testing which means I don't have gestational diabetes. Woo Hoo! Currently though, my iron is a little low. I definately need to be more conscious about what I'm eating.


• Memphis is a very active little boy. I can feel him moving through out most of the day. I love it though. Every now and then I'll get a pretty strong kick or punch that will actually startle me. I can even feel him stretching now and pushing across my stomach.


• At our last appointment, our midwife said that she thinks he's already in the head down position which is a huge positive.


• I told the midwife that I was having some strong pains on the left side of my ribs. She felt around, laughed, and said that he had positioned his little bottom up by my ribs. That must be why my ribs hurt so bad. He is definately situated on my left side. That's where I feel the most activity.


• I have another ultrasound on Oct. 11 (32 weeks) to check out if I still have placenta previa. We are really keeping our fingers crossed that everything will check out okay.


• Nursery projects are finally getting finished. All of the painting is done, we purchased a crib and my dad stained our dresser/changing table. It's so amazing to see everything coming together. Once we have everything close to finished I'll post some pictures. The one I'll post now though is of DIY project I just completed. We are going to hang his name over the crib.

Thanks for reading!! :)
