Congrats to John!

This past week brough GREAT news! John found out he was accepted into the Management in Training (MIT) program with Sams Club!!! It could come at a much better time. He was really looking forward to this opportunity. So far, he has been enjoying the new position very much! He said the other day it is much less stressful so far and he seems much happier when he comes home from work these days.

We did have to go expand the wardrobe though. If you know John, you know he is a T-shirt and jeans kind of guy. Time to upgrade! He now looks like a very handsome professional! Can't wait to see what the months ahead bring for his new job. CONGRATS JOHNNY!

38 weeks and counting

Edema, carpal tunnel and a bowling ball. Thats what the 38th week of pregnancy has brought me. After working 3 nights in a row (not a good idea I may add) my legs/feet were sooooo swollen!

Therefore, some compression TED hose were in order. They look much better than this, but still swelling a bit, especially after work! And let me tell you, trying to bend over to put anything on my lower legs or feet is painful let alone knee high or waist high compression stockings--ITS A CHORE!

I've also now been experiencing tingling and numbness in my hands...my midwife has now told me I have carpal tunnel of pregnancy--FUN! :) She said I can wear wrist splints, which I wasn't too keen on right away, but am slowly changing my mind as this baby still doesn't want to arrive yet.

As for the bowling ball, well, that would be what it feel like anytime I am upright, a bowling ball in my pelvis. Yes, I know this probably a good sign. John asked the other day if I was doing ok because I am walking funny. I quickly told him it was because of the bowling ball which has lodged itself in my pelvis. That will be something I look forward to ending. :)

Overall, my pregnancy hasn't been THAT bad. A bit of swelling my last couple weeks, sickness the first bit, but otherwise fairly uneventful! Thank goodness.

And as for "nesting" ...If finishing up ordering baby gear online is nesting, then we are there! just kidding. We have begun to overhaul the house, I think John is sympathy nesting as well. :) We can't wait for Baby Wilson to arrive!!!

37 weeks

We are now 37 weeks pregnant! Can't wait for baby to come! We have now finished with all of our wonderful baby showers...thank you for all of our friends and family for the wonderful gifts for Baby Wilson!!

Everyone keeps saying "sleep while you can now!"...I'm thinking thats a joke, because I can't sleep worth a darn! If I go to sleep at a normal hour, I wake up at 145-2am and can't get back to sleep. Tonight I didn't go to sleep until 1am and woke up at 230....it is now 505am and I am still not sleeping. :( Maybe its the night shift messing with me or possible the human growing inside of me. Either way, I'm beginning to feel like I may get more sleep AFTER baby is here.
