Christmas

Here is a short update about Christmas that I had typed up but not yet posted.

Christmas last week went well. On Christmas eve after James got home from work, we went to his grandparents as planned and we had lunch and then we opened gifts. Then that evening when we got home, James and I made some pizza in the oven and had some cookies and snacks. Then we watched Santa Clause 2. The first one and the third one have been on tv a lot, but not the second, so we watched it. Then we opened our gifts to each other. I got James a bunch of books and a movie and some other things. He got me a movie, a cd, and some other things.

Then Christmas morning we got up and went to my moms house. We opened gifts over there and got lots of nice things. James and I got a Keurig! And then James got some books and other things. I got some cds and other things. Then we had some snacks for breakfast. I made pumpkin muffin things, and mom made monkey bread, plus she had cookies set out. Then James and I got changed and loaded up the car and headed to James' moms house. Over there we hung out while lunch was being finished up, then we ate some lunch, then we opened gifts over there. I got all the twilight movies! Except the one in theaters of course, and some other things. And James did really well, he got a game, some books, some megabloks, a puzzle, some tools he wanted and more! Then we went back to my moms house, had some dinner and dessert and headed home and pretty much straight to bed!

Like I assumed a few months ago, if I was still pregnant at Christmas, I would probably be huge and uncomfortable. And I was right. I was roasting all day long, sweating like crazy, all over. And my feet were HORRIBLY swollen. It seems they are just not going down, no matter if I do some walking, put my feet up, even at night they don't go down too much and are still swollen in the morning, or they start swelling up within a few hours after I get up. It's painful and uncomfortable. Plus I'm having cramps and pressure still which didn't help the day. I still enjoyed my Christmas, but I was very uncomfortable.

38 Weeks

Image
Here is my picture for the week! (One day late though). 38 Weeks & 1 Day: December 18th Only two more weeks to go!!!! However I am hoping that Mackinley will come today or tomorrow. Otherwise, I would like her to stay in there until at least the day after Christmas! I just don't want to have her too close to Christmas. If she's a Christmas baby, then so be it, that's just not what I'm hoping for. This week, the most plans we have is my doctors appointment again this week. The day after Christmas. Otherwise, it's normal housework, and relaxing. As for guesses this week on when Mackinley will be here, my official guess is today and one more person also said today. Then mom is hoping for today, but again her official guess is January 1st. Then we have one person who guessed tomorrow the 18th (and one family member out of state who is hoping for the 18th but unofficially, not in the game), two people who guessed wednesday the 19th, one person who guessed th...

End of a Busy Week!

This has been an extremely busy week. I've had appointments and plans and housework everyday! Today I plan to take it easy for the most part. We don't have any appointments for today, no big plans, nowhere we need to go, so we are going to spend the day relaxing, napping, and of course catching up on a bit of housework. Really have some yardwork that needs done too, but with the heat I'm not sure we will get to it! Yesterday was a big day! First, I got a call, saying I was approved for a medical card! Yay! Now I can finally call and find a doctor and get an appointment scheduled! This is big news! I'm so relieved, and glad to finally get moving and see a doctor! Today James is gonna help me look at our choices and we will decide our top choices and then call and see who is available. And secondly, we had our WIC appointment which went very well for the most part! We first did the paperwork part and found out we were approved. Then my iron was checked which I was told ...

More Baby Movement?

Forgot to add in my last post, that over vacation I think I might have felt the baby again. But it was different this time. In the car on the way to Pennsylvania, we had the music kind of loud in the car for a while. During that time only, I felt some movement in my stomach. It wasn't like pokes, or "flutters" as people say. Although I still can't quite figure out what a "flutter" is supposed to feel like. Anyways, this feeling was like if you drink a ton of water or liquids and wiggle your belly around, and that sloshing feeling like you've had too much liquid in your belly. That's what it felt like for a while. And I had not had that much to drink, so I know it wasn't actually liquid in my stomach, and I wasn't moving around anyways. That's why I THINK maybe it was baby, but I'm not sure. Just had to post about that to see what everyone else's opinions are if they think it may have been baby or just a coincidence of somethin...
