Drama..

Well, we've only been at Grandma's for not even 3 weeks and we're moving out. My older brother who is 21 years old still lives there with her and causes nothing but stress for everyone. I can't be around that, and I don't want to be. So we're leaving to Devin's parents' house and we are definitely happy about that. We will have our own room and everything. I can finally get all ready for Brenton to arrive in a stress-free home! We will be leaving tonight, thank God.

Ugh.. I wish my family would just grow up.

It's finally done..!

Yay! The baby shower is finally over with. Now I can actually start buying things that I know for sure I need. I'm starting to feel like I'm accomplishing something now :)

Well, here's how things went.

Woke up around 9:30am, took a shower, went to McD's for breakfast (yum), picked up the balloons, went to the place to decorate, came home & got ready, blah blah blah. I invited about 30 people, I believe. I think between 20 & 30 showed up. A lot of them did tell me they had gotten called into work, which whatever I was fine with not having everyone show up. I hate being the center of attention, which my Grandma made sure I was. The party started a little after 4. We played games, then ate, then gifts. We had such good food. Ham, scalloped potatoes, beans, corn, green beans, salad, and buns. I made out good for gifts, I think. I always planned on buying everything myself, so I was surprised.

Gifts: Rain Forest Pack N Play, Bouncer, Swing, Car Mirror, and Blanket.
A lot of other soft blankets, 3 packs of diapers (140 newborn), baby wipes, baby wipe travel case, a lot of cute outfits, 3 onsies, and some other nice cute things. I can't remember everything, but I will post pictures that I took of everything soon :)

32 Week U/S

Went for my 32 week ultrasound today. The tech was very nice, and so we got some really great pictures. I'm still measuring 4 days ahead, like I've always been, but it's okay. She said my cervix is still shut tight, looks fine, nothing wrong there. My fluid levels are great, which I was kind of surprised because I haven't been drinking things I should be drinking; whoops! He is 4lbs 10oz, so he's getting nice and big. His heart rate is 135bpm, which is all good too. It was so cute watching him drink his fluid and play with his lips. When she first started the exam she showed us his bladder, then towards the end to get more pictures, she scans over his bladder again and it was a lot fuller and she said "I don't know who's going to pee first, you or him." It was pretty funny :) The tech showed us his hands which were right up by his nose, so we called him a nose picker! I was nervous, as I always am when it comes to ultrasounds and doctor appointments. I'm always worried their going to find something wrong, but each time they tell me he's just perfect :) Maybe I should stop worrying so much, lol.

Anyway, I'll post some pictures that we got

Moving out..

Well, it's the end of the month and our lease is ending so we've decided to go stay with my Grandma for a little while to help her get caught up on some bills and look around for a new place.

My baby shower is April 13th, and I'm excited. I can't wait to see everyone, but then again I am nervous. I do not like to be the center of attention; at all.

Anyway, I'm done for now.

Yah..

Well, today was alright. I actually got to see my brothers baby today, well, I babysat her for a few hours. I don't know what people mean when they say she cries for two hours straight. My brother was flipping out last night because of her crying so much. He tried everything and she still wouldn't sleep. Then she gets here and I'm thinking "Thank God she's asleep." I didn't want her to wake up and be a fussy butt, but she woke up smiling at Devin and me. She was just a happy baby, like she usually is for me. She didn't cry once in the 4 hours I had her. Maybe she just likes me so much and doesn't want to cry for me =) Haha, yah right. I don't know what people do to her, but she's probably the easiest 2 month old I've ever watched.

Devin and I went out to Olive Garden tonight, thanks to Beth saying she was going. She got my cravings flared up, haha. It was yummy, since I haven't had it in a while because of the morning sickness that lasted for 4 1/2 months. We came home and took a nice bath together also, which wasn't as nice as I thought it'd be. I think it's just because we're both tired, but we didn't really conversate at dinner or in the bathtub. I know he's tired, and I'm always tired, so I'm not going to really take this whole "not talking today" thing too seriously.

It's so cute. I'm sitting sideways typing away and Brenton is all balled up on my right side of my stomach. I can't wait until he's here. =)

Anyways, I guess that's all I have to write today.

30 Week D/A

So, I had my 30 week appointment today. Everything was perfectly fine, as I knew it would be. Baby's heart rate was perfect (as the Doctor put it), my blood pressure was 122/80, so that's perfect as well. I weigh 176, so that's a totaly of 46 pounds gained so far this pregnancy. I'm not really worried about it unless the doctor says something, which he hasn't. Found out my blood type, which is A+. I've been meaning to get blood work done so I could always know, but always forgot, lol. I also get another ultrasound. I was excited when the Nurse came in and asked me about scheduling another one. This appointment with the Doctor was probably the only thing that's going good for me at this point.

In other news, my Grandma needed more money today because a check bounced. I feel bad for her, because she's so depressed. Seeing her depressed and crying, makes me depressed and want to cry. Seems like this is just an awful year to get ahead with all the money issues. She's not going to have car insurance now, because she couldn't pay the amount they wanted from her. I offered to give her more money, but she wouldn't take it.

I don't feel like typing anymore. I guess I'll just go take a bath and try to relax. All this stress isn't good for the baby or me..

Finally..

I finally decided that I needed to get my GD test done today, after waiting almost 2 weeks. I expected the stuff to be thicker, but it was really just like soda. I will say that I won't be able to drink orange soda again after drinking that. Tasted like old orange soda that had been sitting out for 3 days. I couldn't have the lemon-lime though, because I figured it would irritate my already irritated throat.

I have no idea what's going on with my throat. It just started hurting out of no where a couple of days ago. I'm guessing it's from my sinuses, so I went out and bought some Benadryl to try and help. It's supposed to help me sleep, but we'll see how that goes.

I'm officially 30 weeks tomorrow! How exciting! I also have my 30 week doctor's appointment on Wednesday. I'll be getting my blood work, GD test, and pap results all back; I hope. I'm sure nothing is wrong with either one of them though.

I've also been looking at getting a 3d/4d ultrasound done, because the doctor that I see isn't the doctor that has the machine, and God only knows if I'll be able to squeeze in, so I'll have to go on my own if I want it. It's so expensive around here in Detroit. The lowest I've seen so far is 200 dollars for 5 pictures and only 15 minutes of viewing. I thought it'd be a little cheaper than that.

Oh well, that's my post for the day.
