Baby update

I am 28 weeks today and so far it has seemed to go by fast, but I know I still have a while to go. My last doctor's apt went well, Declan is 2 pounds and in the 70% percent tile. My doctor says if he stays this way he will be about 7 1/2 pounds when he's born, if I go to forty weeks.
I have been able to exercise some lately which feels so nice! My back has been hurting so badly lately and working out has seemed to relieve some of that pain. I had to take the glucose test last appt and luckily very this looked good. I did find our that I am Anemic, which would explain my extreme lack of energy lately and my light headedness. But once I get my iron build back up and I know I will feel much better.
I have been having a blast getting clothes and baby things. I have been obessed with garage sales lately and have had so much fun finding him really cute clothes for 25 cents a piece. Can't beat that price, and I have gotten some other great baby items. I enjoy the thrill of the hunt and finding him some great clothes.
Summer time I have been dying in the heat, but my air conditioning works well and I am grateful for that!

Nesting

Well, I am in full swing "nesting" phase. I was going crazy with all the things that I felt needed to be done, so I got a huge poster board and made list of all the items I wanted to get done. Well, I had a sudden and long winded burst of energy and got more that half of it done in a week.
I cleaned out the baby's room so it is no longer the storage room.
Organized and labeled all of our food storage.
Cleaned and organized the whole kitchen.
Put all of our Dvd's in Cd cases and made room for all our family journals.
Cleaned out our entertainment center.
Started the Declan's baby blanket(and it is turning out really cute)
Picked out paint for his room, the kitchen, living room and our bedroom.

It feels so good to have those things done and now I can focus on the fun stuff, like painting and decorating! I am getting very excited for his little man and have had a blast clothes shopping for him:) I still need to find my camera:( and then I can post pictures!!

Baby

Well, last time I made a post like this it may of been way to early but not this time. I am almost 16 weeks pregnant so it's completly safe to post now. I am due November 7. And I am excited about that due date! The baby will be here for the holiday's, so that should be fun. Doug is convinced it's a boy and even talks to it like he's a boy. Won't he be suprised if we are having a girl. We find out what we are having in two and a half weeks. I am amazed how fast the time has gone, and not being nearly as sick as last time has helped. I am beginning to feel better and I very grateful for starting to get my energy back. Because there is a lot to do to get our little place ready for a baby. Some people call what I am going through " nesting" , I just call it trying to get organized. I have done some big projects already but I can't find my camera right now so as soon as I do I will post about it.
Anyways, I will post all the baby updates on here, especially once we know what we are having!

New Year!

So Doug and I were very excited for the new year. I think I was most excited, maybe I felt that it was a good way to put the past in the past and have a fresh start. We have set many goals for the year... Yes, in the past we have made goals and the next day not even remember what they were. But not this year, it year is our year! I made a huge chart and posted our goals on a huge poster in our bedroom. So far we have been working on them and it has been a good start.
My first personal goal is to finish a triathlon! I am very excited about it. My sister and Doug's sister and brother are doing a half marathon tomorrow and I wish I could of been there with them. I was unable to due to my surgery(after my miss carriage) and had a four week recovery time which left me not very much time to train. Not to mention since I was so sick with my pregnancy I lost a good amount of weight, so my doctor that I needed to gain some weight. Anyways, my triathlon is in March. I am doing it with some friends. It involves running 3 miles, biking 9 hours and and swimming a few laps. Should be fun!
My other personal goal is to clean, clean, clean.... And boy have I. Our guest bedroom was pilled with storage boxes and camping stuff. Two and a half years of marriage random stuff. So I was so tired of literally climbing over things to get other things. So I spend about five days and cleaned out the whole room! It is so nice. I have a place to sew and do crafts, and move around. Yippeeeeee!
My other goals I am still working on, I will keep you updated:)
