So I talked with another old high school friend Derek yesterday as he called from Tennessee to ask how my last doctors appointment was and just to check in on the mama and baby. It was so sweet. He is truly like a brother to me. I so appreciate this and it was just wonderful to have the check-ins.
My mom calls or emails me everyday to ask how I am doing and her grand baby, she checks in too on how Jeremy and her grand dogs are doing as well. It's so cute that she does this. I am very grateful that she does. I just feel the love! I have to say that my dad has felt my belly the most out of anyone. Every time he sees me he is always touching my belly. It's so adorable as I know the baby will definitely know his touch and my moms voice!
Jeremy and I went over to our neighbors, Jen and Shannon last night as Jen had 3 tubes of clothes and some books for us to borrow! So awesome!!! I can't say enough as this is just so amazing!!!
My real brother Adam called in and checked on us too which was so sweet. He is such a great brother!! Adam is so awesome about asking how the baby and mama are doing!!! Thanks bro!!!
So I am starting to get energy back alot this week. I am actually leaving the house at 7:15 in the morning now for work, which is kinda close to my original time. I would love to leave at 7:00, like my normal routine for work. We will see if I can get up a little earlier to get to work!
I told Jeremy that this week I am going to purchase a pregnancy pillow to support my back. Mary recommended it and I definitely want to start that support now, rather than later! I also need to get new bras as I can really see and feel the effects of the pregnancy in the chest area. Oh, my last doctors appointment, I have only gained about 4 pounds so far. I can't wait for this belly to start sticking out!!! I just want the world to know that we are gonna have a baby!!!
October 8th- Well Jeremy is still sick and I am just hoping that it doesn't pass to the baby and me. Today was my first test for my auditing class and I took a half day. After lunch, I went to Dzie Dzie's house since no one is there and studied for 2 hours before my test. It was great to relax a little bit before the test, but still wasn't too excited about the test. I am just hoping to pass the class at this point as my memory isn't the greatest these days!
Today we had lunch with Anne and Jenny at Hacienda.... the waiter thought I was gonna order the whole menu! I kept adding to my order. Anne and Jenny were just laughing as it was pretty funny!
October 9th- I have decided that is about time that I do some shopping for the nursery furniture. I am hoping to get Jeremy out on Saturday morning to do some shopping or at least get some ideas. I went and saw Gina (Ben's wife and my personal waxing woman!!!) over the weekend and she told me of some of the boutiques here in town to go to!!! I can't wait to go shopping!!!
Today we had lunch with Jenny, Ben and Kelli. It was Kelli's birthday and birthdays are so important to celebrate and so we took Kelli out to lunch to Main Street Grill. It was yummy!!! I just cherish these times with all my friends because I know in a few months it is gonna change to where my time will be focused. I just can't say thanks enough to them for all of them being so supportive and so considerate! I truly have the best set of friends ever! Our little one is gonna have so many aunts and uncles that he or she isn't gonna know what to do!
Elizabeth and I have finally connected on email and its been great. She has been feeling pretty good through her pregnancy. It's interesting because she is craving pickles and ginger ale, which her sister liked during her pregnancy and she had two boys. Well I am craving pineapple and that is what Debbie craved during her pregnancy and she has 2 girls, Hannah and Hayden. SO I wonder if this is a sign that she is having a boy and if I am having a girl. I know that they are going to find out the sex of the baby so stay tuned to see if this prediction will be right.
Since we announced the pregnancy at work, everyone at work knows now and I have to say thank you to all my coworkers who have been so awesome this week. It is great to hear their stories and the advice that they have to share. One of the girls here at work is also pregnant and she gave me the insight that we get to park up front now at Crowe, one of the benefits of being pregnant!!! So I am taking full advantage of that, especially since its gonna be turning cold weather soon.
Over the weekend Jeremy was still trying to get some rest but I managed to drag him out to some nursery shopping. We went to a few stores and he found a nursery furniture set that he likes. It would work for me because it is a shorter crib and the changing table was perfect for my height too. The dresser was super tall so Jeremy can be in charge of those top drawers! The color was great too. However, I still can't decide on white or a cherry/mahogany color. I feel that if its a boy would a white crib be appropriate? Oh the dilemma! I did compare the brand to my baby bargain book and it is rated an A- so I think that is pretty good!!! We saw my mom on Saturday afternoon and I can't wait to take her shopping because my parents are providing the nursery for us. What a wonderful gift and totally unexpected! We are very lucky that my parents want to do this for their grand baby!!! My parents want the best for their grand child and my mom even suggested a personally designed crib so that it would have exactly everything that I want and meet all the safety requirements. I am still debating that one too!
We had a 1st birthday party to go on Jeremy's side of the family. It was for Isaac!! He is such a little cutie! Katie, Isaac's mom, gave me some of her baby stuff that she had and it was so great!! She gave me a magazine that she felt was very helpful that she got during her pregnancies. I just can't say thanks enough to everyone during the pregnancy process... everyone has been so giving and so sweet. It just makes it all the more special!
So Notre Dame lost over the weekend.... I tell you that we are gonna have to start making these road trips as the baby is good luck for Irish (at least that is what I think)!
So on Saturday night around 8:00, it was hot in our house and I wouldn't let Jeremy turn on the air conditioning because knowing Indiana weather will turn so quick on ya and its October. Well we still have the 2 airbeds set up in the basement from when we had company for the Notre Dame home games. We decided to do a "camp-out" in our basement. We both started in 1 bed with all 3 dogs.... soon it ended up with Jeremy being in the other bed... Bob being in his dog bed and the twins being with me. According to Jeremy, I am a bed hog and I love to sleep diagonally so he wants to make sure that I am as comfortable as possible. I woke up at 4:30 in the morning and was cold because it was cold down there in the basement. I went upstairs to our bed. Within 15 minutes everyone made their way up... Bob, then Russeau, then Riley and then Jeremy. I have to say that when this little one arrives I told Jeremy that we will have to do the camp out as a tradition in the basement. He said we can do the real thing outside in the back yard... my response was "that would be your department.... I will not be sleeping outside" I am so not a camper.
So I did have my first case of "morning sickness" but I believe it could have been prevented. Jeremy and I had a blood test for Notre Dame to do and our appointment was at 10:15 in the morning on Saturday. I wanted my results to be good and since you are suppose to "fast" I tried not to eat in the morning... well lesson learned that I should have ate. It lasted about 3 minutes and Jeremy was rubbing my back in the process. However, he did say that I have that duty when the baby is here because he doesn't like to deal with it... I got him though because he does it for the dogs and I said your child is completely different from the dogs and if you do it for the dogs, you will do it for your child!
