New belly picture!

It has been almost 5 weeks since I have taken a picture, so I thought it was time! I feel like I am gigantic today.

It is now 9:15 am and.....

I still have this stupid indigestion, even after vomiting. I can't take another zantac until this afternoon and tums don't seem to be helping, ugh.

In other news, Henry is back to himself this morning! He was kicking, punching, rolling, and who knows what else this morning! I had my hand on my stomach and I could feel something small and round. I am not sure if it was a knee, fist, foot, elbow, or what. He was giving me quite the show though! I am glad he is back to himself and not making me worry about him!

Indigestion sucks...

Why am I up at 2:20 am and have been for over an hour? Because I have stupid indigestion. I did not eat anything that I would have thought set it off last night, but apparently I did. Zantac is not working and I know if I eat some tums, I will be running to the bathroom next. So I guess I just sit here and hope it goes away while Henry is just sleeping away.

About this little boy growing in my belly.....
I have not felt him NEAR as much as I am used to, so I called my dr. yesterday to see what they say and they told me as long as I feel him, he is ok. I did feel him more last night, but still not like I am used to. Maybe he is just running out of room, who knows?
Sunday morning, Aaron and I were laying in bed next to each other and Henry got to kicking like crazy! I don't now what he was trying to tell his daddy, but he was kicking hard and fast. The little stinker!

Poll

There is a poll to the right, if you didn't notice. Aaron and I can't decide on his middle name, so let us know which one you like better! If you didn't already know, his middle name will start with a N because both of ours do.

"Hey, I am sleeping in here"

I think that is what Henry was trying to tell me earlier when I was listening to music on my laptop! The speakers are all the way up against my stomach and I started feeling really hard kicks and punches! Maybe he just liked the music, or didn't like it! Who knows :)

I am getting so anxious to have him here in my arms. I am hoping the holidays will make the time go by quickly. I still feel really good. I get tired and out of breath like I am a fat, old person. Sometimes just going up the stairs I get out of breath, I am not that out of shape! I was planning to clean the whole house last Sunday, but I was exhausted by the time I got the downstairs cleaned up. I did do alot of deep cleaning, like waxing the hardwood floors, but I used to be able to do whatever I wanted! I think my belly can not possibly stretch anymore. I weighed myself this morning and I have not gained any weight in the past 2 weeks (when I last went to the dr.). I guess I just had a growth spurt or something. I know I will still gain more weight, I am just hoping it will not be like last month! My indigestion has gotten better. I have been eating earlier and trying not to eat anything I now will affect me. I also take a Zantac if I fill like I have the least bit of indigestion before bed. It was horrible there for a while though. If the old wives tales is true about babies growing hair when you have heartburn, then Henry will have a head full! I don't know how much I believe any of that though since none of the tales were true about the sex of the baby.

The babies and I have missed Aaron SOOOO much this week. He has been on site with his customer since last Friday. He will hopefully be coming home tomorrow.

Abby has been having a bad week this week with her feet. I think they have been sore because she has been licking at them and has even made one toenail bleed. I have been giving her pain medication and tonight she vomited, which is probably from the medication. It is one of the safer pain meds, so I am going to try it again because I don't want her to be in pain. There is not much I can do to keep her from licking her feet. I could bandage the one that she has made bleed, but she cries when we do that. I could also put an e-collar (aka lamp shade) on her, but I know she would hate that. I just want the poor baby to get better before the baby gets here because that will be alot of stress on her.

We are expected to get some accumulating snow this weekend. Not much, but it is snow. I was watching the news earlier and they predicted that we would get around 50 inches this year. That is not to bad considering it was over 100 last year.

That is all for now.

The election

I don't really have alot to say about Obama being our next president. I am somewhat scared to be expecting a baby with so much unknown in our future. I don't agree with any of the policies that Obama says he is going to put forth. I do not believe in taxing the welathy to give to the poor, at all. I think what the average American does not understand is that he is going to be taxing small businesses, which in turn means that they have less to offer their employees. If you work for a small business owner, do you not understand that your job is in jeporady? It is not that hard to understand. So many industry jobs are being taken out of America and sent to other countries. If they are taxed more, that means even more jobs will be sent out of the US. What does that mean? Even less jobs. I feel lucky that Aaron has such an awesome job with such great job security, but I do not feel that I have job security woring for a small business owner. I am actually very surprised at how well the clinic I am working for is doing with the economy, but the economy up here does not seem to be affected as much as the rest of the country. I also do not agree with universal healthcare. Do your on research on it. Do you want to wait 6 months to see a cardiologist because there is a line in front of you?

BTW, I think Henry agrees, because he is kicking and punching away as I type :) Silly boy!

That is all I have to say about the election. Hopefully things will turn out better than I expect them to.

3 months!

It is just 3 months until we get to meet our little boy! Time has flown by, but I can't wait to have him here! My 3rd trimester doesn't officially start until Monday when I am 27 weeks or 7 months.

I had a dream a few nights ago that my water broke around 37 -38 weeks and I was freaking out because I didn't know how I was going to push this baby out. I guess that comes with it! I kept telling Aaron that I wasn't ready to go to the hospital yet! My mom was also there, which is strange because she is not coming until I am already in labor. I also remember that I would not leave home because I had to clean the house one last time! I guess we will see how true that dream is!
