baby Chase's bedroom!!!

pregnancy thus far...

has been... a long ride! But I have enjoyed it so much. I was really luck to not be sick at all in my first trimester. Yet... now that seems to have come back to bite me. Lots has been going on the last couple weeks. So the last few weeks I have been getting light headed and dizzy and that has turned into passing out and throwing up. It turns out that my baby cuts off my blood flow to my brain and there's nothing i can do about it. So... I pass out and then wake up throwing up... so fun! And I was put on bed rest, yet... sitting or laying for too long is what causes this problem. So.. walking is the only thing I can do to help it. But I can't walk 24/7 so... it seems i just end up getting sick. Sean has been great. Really willing to help and worries about me like any good husband. So I have been told NO TRAVELING. NO SITTING. NO WORKING. NO ANYTHING. So... I have one more day of work after today then i'll be done and I'll be able to follow DR's orders. Then I have an appt on Tuesday to see if I have started progressing at all so we may have the baby early!! YAY!!! We shall see. So that's all!!!

baby's room!!

DR's appt updates!

So met with my great DR yesterday and everything' is looking really good! Baby Chase is head down and ready to fly on out. Or... crawl out at a snails pace. We shall see. We have no idea. But he's about 5 lbs and right around 20 inches already... so.. DR did mention that we're going to be looking at going early since he has so little room to move. He's been extremely uncomfortable in my belly since about ... week 33 so we'll know more the beginning of August but he'll probably be here soon after that! Can't wait to meet my little monster/son!!!

Book club... yes I'm in a book club

I have officially joined a book club and I purchased the first book for a group read! Funny thing.. I love to read. I read maybe 3 to 6 books a week depending on how fast I can get my hands on them. So... I'm excited and so is Sean. I'll finally have some lady friends to get together with! AnD I'll be able to talk about the books I LOVE and hate and my kid that I'll have soon! I can't wait. The first book we're reading is The Geurnsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows. I can't wait. I have been running out of things to read so I am really looking forward to not having to pick every single book I read. So I think I'm going to start doing a book review on each one. Not that I'm qualified! BuT I do know if I like something or not my mom taught me how to be picky but to really give it a chance! So here goes NOTHING!!!
