29 weeks and a confession!

WOW! I can't believe the baby is 29 weeks today! It is amazing to me that we have been in third trimester for several weeks. Time is flying by so quickly! We can't wait until baby arrives!!! NO.... we do not yet have a name. We are getting close, but not quite yet. I think Daddy is set on the name, but I just want to be sure! A name is a big deal and I don't want him to hate us years from now because he doesn't like his name! His daddy wants it to be a unique name that no one has. I agree, but it is getting difficult!

His furniture is scheduled to be delivered on Wednesday. I can't wait to get it. The only thing we really have to do in his room to prepare is hang his new light and clean the carpet. We want everything to be clean clean clean when he arrives!

I LOVE being pregnant, at least now that I am out of first trimester. However, I must admit when Tim and I were in bed the other night I told him that at times I wish he were going through this instead of me... WHY, you ask.... because I DO NOT like the fact that I have to get up in the middle of the night (sometimes, several times) to pee!!! It is frustrating! Not to give you too much information, but I have been one who could practically go all day without peeing! Well, not anymore. Now I go fifty times a day! LOVELY! Also, I am starting to have major problems getting comfortable in bed. During the last trimester, you are not allowed to sleep on your back. The reason for this is it cuts circulation to the umbilical cord. They prefer that you sleep on your left side. I am having a little time adjusting to this. I sometimes feel like I am smashing his head. Tim keeps telling me that there is no way I can squish him, but I am paranoid! I just want the little guy to be perfect! Sometimes Tim will wake me up in the middle of the night and tell me to roll on my side because I have somehow rolled on my back!!! He is such a good daddy! That brings me to a point... I am truly not sure how I would have gotten through these last several months without him! He has been such a big help, given lots of back rubs, and is always supportive of my doctor appointments, etc. He is such a good man! I am so lucky! (of course, he is too.... HA HA) The thing that I feel SO bad that Tim misses is feeling the baby kick. Sure, he feels him all of time on the outside, but it is such an amazing miracle to have the baby inside of you moving around. We often talk about what a true miracle it is and how amazing God is to create such a precious thing. How could anyone want to kill or abort a baby? I can NOT imagine. (well, I better not get started on that.. I could go on for days)

I have a confession to make. Throughout the entire pregnancy I have been unable to handle hamburgers. The thought of them actually makes me sick. I am SO embarrassed to admit this, but the only hamburgers I can eat are White Castles. (I am not even sure if you classify them as hamburgers) Previous to pregnancy the smell of them made me nauseous, but for some reason I love them now. In fact, that is what I had for lunch today..... isn't that horrible!!!!!!! Don't you love pregnancy!!!
