I honestly was not sure if I would make it to 29 weeks, the way I was feeling up to about 22 weeks- but now things seem to be on the good/enjoyable side of pregnancy. I do feel better, of course I feel like a whale every time I need to get up at night to go to the bathroom or off the couch, but the morning sickness feeling 24 hours a day has gone away, so I am counting my blessings.
SOOOO much has happened since my last post. Of course I started my new job and I am just trying to keep my head above water. There is so much to learn, I am pretty sure I learn something new every single day. Everyone has been so wonderful and understanding. With the new job I have been traveling a lot which, is fun but exhausting. This month I will be gone for two whole weeks, one week in Billings for Montana Association of Career and Technical Educators and the second week I will be in Indianapolis for National FFA Convention. I am looking forward to both weeks, but I am also looking forward to the first of November when my schedule slows down and baby Carlson's due date is a little more in reach.
Baby Carlson and mommy are growing a lot! I will have to post a recent picture, but I don't think I have any- so wait for that to come.
Yesterday we had an appointment, which went well for me and baby, not so well for Kelly. Yesterday I had to get my flu shot, and since Kelly was there with me, he got his flu shot and his T-dap (Pertussis) shot. Within seconds Kelly started feeling sick and almost passed out when he went to the bathroom. When we left the Dr. office he was looking better but was still that nice pale green color. I think he is feeling back to normal today with the exception of sore arms.
Baby Carlson's heart beat is right on track at 157 beats per minute, she is moving, and I mean MOVING!!! She is very active after breakfast and super busy in the afternoon around 4 and she doesn't quite down until 11 or so. It is so fun feeling her move and kick and it is really fun now that Kelly can feel her move and kick.
Also since my last post, Rachel, my wonderful sister-in-law came out for a long weekend to visit. It was so much fun having her here even if it was too short, as always. We spend the weekend shopping for baby stuff with my mom. We went to the fabric store, which it turns out when you are looking for something you want, it can actually be fun. We didn't just go to one fabric store, there were a couple of course, but we both found material for our nurseries. So now that means there is one busy grandma to be working on curtains, quilts and who knows what else.
Kelly and I have started working on the back bedroom, which will now be the nursery. We still have a ways to go, but we went through the closet and took most of our stuff to storage so there will be room for baby and ALL her stuff! We still need to put up the crib and dresser, but that will hopefully happen soon. I will post pictures of the nursery in progress once we get to that point.
In the mean time here are a few pictures to share:
These are two outfits Grandma Cari bought for baby Carlson- these outfits will be the perfect size for baby when Grandma Cari is on baby duty during State FFA Convention in April- Thank you Grandma Cari, we love you!
Here are a few things I picked up for the nursery. We are going with a some what neutral theme with earthy tones. I found two vases, one a brownish green and the other a pretty blue and to make the room a little more girly, I found some gerber daisies that matched the colors of my fabric perfectly. I also found this canvas wall hanging that will work perfectly with the style of the nursery. It has been so fun shopping and looking for baby stuff.
Well, there will be more pictures to come, and hopefully more posts- now that I will have more time- after this month!
