It seems like I've been pregnant forever, but at the same time, it's going by really REALLY fast, and I only have three more months to go till the end, or should I say... the beginning.
As I welcome the third trimester into my life, I've also welcomed numb hands, feet that have grown a half size, and a bladder that just doesn't do it's job very well. I use to pride myself on my bladder of steel (only having to use the restroom maybe twice a day), but now when I go out, I frantically locate the closest available bathroom. (FYI he Marshall's bathroom in Orange off 17th street is the most disgusting bathroom I've ever seen, and the bathroom outside of Toontown in Disneyland is a close second.Thought you should know.) What other wonderful things have been happening to my body? Heat rashes, trouble standing after I've been sitting for too long, and swollen fingers that have forced me to take off my wedding rings. So sad.
My chances to do whatever the hell I want whenever I want are dwindling fast, and we're trying to make the most of it. We considered taking a "Babymoon" cruise, but ships won't allow pregnant women to ride after 23 weeks along. I'm 27. We went to Disneyland to use up the last of my free tickets from my former place of employment, but of course I can't go on rides, and there are only so many times you can see Great Moments With Mr. Lincoln. Don't get me wrong though, we still had a great time and even picked up an outfit for the baby. It was strange walking around knowing that it might be our very last time at the park with just the two of us.
Baby's room now has a dresser, changing table, and Diaper Genie, and we picked up a smaller inexpensive changing table for downstairs, along with another Diaper Genie. (The Diaper Genie's are hand me downs from my brother and sister in law who ended up with three somehow when they had their little girl last year.) My brother and sister in law also hooked me up with some clothes, and reusable diapers, and my sister hooked me up with toys and puzzles. I've got two baby showers coming up in the next two months, so I'm hoping we'll get the rest of the stuff we need then. We need so much stuff....
This week I have an appointment with the hospital to register so when the big day comes I won't need to sit in the lobby leaking fluids and screaming in agony while filling out paperwork, and we're getting a tour of the whole maternity ward. I also have a long list of classes to take, and I'll probably start signing up for those this week too.
So much to do, with so little time!
Here's the little outfit we picked out for baby Z while at Disneyland. This is the moment in time where we realized that we have lots of shirts for him, but no pants.
And here is everything else I wanted to buy for him, but had to pass up because I'm broke.
Ok the horseshoe one is actually a display and not something for sale, but I want it anyway for his cowboy themed bedroom.
