Baby Update -- Crossposted
Well, as of today, I am 28 weeks and 3 days along. Since we are definitely having the baby on June 25th, we only have 10 weeks and 2 days!
We have two baby showers to look forward to: Saturday, April 28th and Saturday, May 12th. I'm both happy and a little scared -- with the way I have been feeling, I fear not feeling up to par on those days. I have been trying to keep my strength and spirits up, but it doesn't always work. :(
My B has been very strong and understanding -- even with the constant mood swings and crankiness that seems to be more constant than I would have ever imagined. Sleepiness is also a strong trait here as of late -- and he has to practically put me to bed for me to listen.
I am not gaining too much weight -- only 1 lb in 2 weeks (which made the Dr VERY happy). But, having to take my blood sugar 4 times a day and insulin 2 times a day is getting harsh. As of this past Monday, my insulin intake was increased and will probably be increased again come the next visit. I have been doing okay with the diet aspect but have sucked on the exercise route.
We have a few clothes from one of B's cousins and the playard that we had placed on one of the registries. (BTW, TYVM to the one who sent the surprise gift! You will be hearing from me soon!) Other than that...we are batting zero. Which, according to B, has caused me to be more cranky than normal. I have a bad tendency to worry about things more than before or normal -- which is absolutely frustrating the hell out of B!!
OH, before I forget -- we have a girl's name (Willow Faye) but are split on a boy's name. B like Ragnar Drake whilst I prefer Drake Ragnar. B says it is because I am partial to Drake. To me, it sounds better than the other way when added to the baby's last name. We shall see...HUGGLES
Also, when it comes to the names, my mother made a valid point...Drake will be easier for the baby to spell in the beginning. And she is fearful of the baby being picked on with Ragnar as the 1st name. Now, to explain said opinions to B...that's going to be a hard one. LOL
Anyway, I am off to cure my hunger and eat my food -- splurging on food I should not be having. *I can be so bad at times.*
