33 weeks...

33 weeks... (I know there is alot of writing, but I use this blog as our family Journal in a way so the writing is mostly for me.. lol.. sorry)

The pregnancy has been good... uncomfy but good... I am having early labor signs, and girls in the same situation usually have their babies within 3 weeks, but there are girls in this same situation that go full term (37 + weeks)... So I really shouldnt be stressing so much lol ... but Im hoping that ours wont come until Ive hit 37 weeks. But Im also hoping to not go over that by too much either:) Im sure every pregnant girl thinks that way. Im trying not to stress about her possibly coming early because I know that she will most likely still be okay, but I cant help but feel nervous. Kevin has been soo nice and rubbing my back for hours on end the last couple days. Ive been not feeling very good and my back has been feeling horribly.

So I talked to my dr about an epidural...I was afraid of one because it can slow your labor down which then you would have to get pitocin, and then the pitocin can cause fetal distress ending in a C-Section. Yea Im not for pitocin at all so I was really afraid of the epidural. So he said that an epidural will slow your labor down if you are not in active labor, but if you are in active labor you should be fine. He did say with epidurals there are always chances that there could be side effects so to try and do it natural but to know that if I can hold off on it until my labor is progressing alot, than it shouldnt slow it down... So Im not sure what Im gunna do. Ill definately go in wanting natural but we will see... :)

Kevin and I think we have a name... but Im not posting it until she is here:)lol

I have the baby stuff finally washed and put away. Im just finishing off some recieving blankets and then Ill have everything for her (I think). But I feel like I have soooo much more to do. My little sister said that she will come over soon and help me organize everything.. Kevin thinks its funny because I am always organizing and than reorganizing. I cant figure out how exactly I want everything:) But hopefully with my sis's help we can get that figured out!

So for the past 4 years I have been a little bit sick and not getting better. SO I now go to a specialist that has put me on a pretty restrictive diet... I have a weird condition that cant be treated until after we have the baby so the best way to deal with it is through food. Obviously because I am pregnant I cant be so strict about it because our little girl still needs nutrients but here is just a taste of what i cant have...

No chocolate, yogurt, fruit (I can have melons- not cantulope-, blueberries, and pears), no preservatives(MSG- did u know its in almost everything- ARGH), artificial food coloring, cheese, sour cream, most nuts, any drinks but water and some herbal tea, onions, mayo, salad dressing, tomatoes... and lots more...

Its been kinda hard to figure out stuff to eat... I lived off of peanut butter and bannana sandwiches and now I cant... I know it doesnt seem like alot but those are all foods that I eat a TON of.. expecially the fruit!!! but only a little bit longer:)

So there's 33 weeksin a nutshell... :)

We already love her so much and cant wait to meet her!
