Got my rhogam shot today at my appointment -- it wasn't nearly as bad as I feared (that seems to be my theme for this pregnancy!). I have to have one because I'm rh negative -- and if the baby's blood type is positive, like Rick's is, my body could start attacking it. So better to be safe than sorry!
Up just about another 10 pounds but I'm finding my appetite is starting to pull back, now that I'm getting bigger. There's just not enough room in there for food and baby G at the same time! Now I start going to my doctor every 2 weeks -- that means I'm getting close to the end! Only 11 weeks to go!
We are going to tour our hospital next Tuesday night -- I'm excited about it but nervous at the same time. I am just not good with hospitals so this is going to be all new to me.
Baby G is doing very well -- he is extremely active. In fact, he kicked the doctor away today when she tried to listen to his heartbeat! Rick and I are starting to feel little hands and feet from the outside now -- I can poke them so sometimes he will move so I can get a little more comfortable. This little guy is also very close to having a name. :) I think we've agreed on one but we are still keeping it secret for now. We're trying it out before we make it public.
The nursery is now under construction -- we have our paint color (green, Pooh Corner from Home Depot) and a classic Pooh wallpaper border in yellow. We just need to move the stuff out of the room so we can begin to paint it. I'm hoping to have that done by 4th of July weekend -- that's when my mom promises to bring her steam cleaner so we can shampoo the carpet and then begin putting the nursery together! Right now, everything is just in boxes. Normally my type A personality would not allow this to continue, but I have mellowed way out since I got pregnant.
Still very grateful for all the support from family and friends -- my baby shower is just 3 weeks away in my hometown so I'm very much looking forward to it!!!!!
