Well, this past weekend the wedding band had to come off. My fingers have swollen enough to make it uncomfortable and difficult to wear when I am either standing for a long time, or when it is hot outside (which is all the time in FL!). So, the wedding band in now in the jewelry box along with the engagement ring. I had to wear something though, so I went to Wal-Mart and got a plain silver band for $15 that is bigger, so that I don't look completely unmarried!
Today marks 33w 1d of pregnancy. I just looked at my ticker, and I only have 48 days left. It is getting really close! We can't wait to meet Jake, and see what he looks like - and how BIG he is! :o)
No more wedding band!

Well, add something new to the list of 'things that occur in pregnancy'. My FEET are swelling! OMGoodness! I noticed it a few days ago, and Hans touched one of them and the imprint stayed for a few seconds... Ahhhhhhh!
Of course, thinking I am a freak of nature, I ask my DR on Monday at my appt. and she says it's perfectly normal, to watch my salt intake, and prop my feet up as much as possible. Fun times!
Add this to the heartburn, shortness of breath when doing anything, carrying Jake super low, exhaustion, and weight gain - and this is the best pregnancy EVER (*sarcasm*)! :o)
Today I am 32w 3d pregnant today - so only 53 more days left! Yippee!

Well, the time had finally come! Sunday night at church I noticed my wedding rings were getting a little tight. I took them off and I could get my band back on, but not my engagement ring without a fight. So, the engagement ring is now in my jewelry box! So sad, but at least I can still wear my wedding band. At least I made it 31 weeks without taking it off!
In other pregnancy issues – my back is absolutely KILLING ME! At night I can hear and feel my lower back pop and pull when I turn from side to side. Thank goodness for Dr. Long – he aligns my back every Saturday, and even though it only lasts for a bit, it feels great for that short amount of time! Oh well, it’s all worth it in the end, right??
Right now it is 10:18am, and I am sitting here at work, doing nothing as usual! Jake has his routine morning hiccups, so that is occupying/amusing me right now. Today I am 31w 1d pregnant – only 8w 6d to go! My baby shower is also in 2w 5d – YAY!

Today I had a doctor’s appointment – I am going every two weeks now! I saw Dr. McCain and I measured right at 30 weeks. I am now up to 156lbs (gasp!), which means I have gained a total of 23lbs since becoming pregnant so far. The doctor’s aren’t concerned, so I guess I shouldn’t be either!
Jake is growing like a weed. He has been getting the hiccups about two to three times a day recently, so that is interesting - especially when I am trying to work or sleep in the middle of the night.
It’s crazy to think that I am 30w 1d pregnant. This means I only have 9w 6d left until my due date (69 days!), and I can go earlier than that! WOW! Jake will be here very soon! J

Well, this past Saturday I seemed to have caught a nasty cold from someone. I have been miserable all weekend! I have been coughing like crazy, runny/stuffy nose, and it gets 10x worse when I am trying to go to sleep at night. Right now I am at work and my head feels like it is going to explode from the sinus pressure! I have taken two Tylenol and that hasn’t helped much at all. Hopefully this will go away really soon.
Also, today I am 27w 1d pregnant. I am officially in my THIRD trimester! 90 more days to go! YAY! (As Jake does a little jig and kicks me right now…) J

I am sitting here at my desk, and my belly started twitching like crazy, at a constant rhythm. I think my little Jake just had his first bout of the hiccups! If not, oh well, but I like to imagine he did! He’s still on my right side right now, kicking & moving around…
On another note, our good friends Ashley & Nathan had their baby boy on March 20th, 2008! He was 4 days overdue! Needless to say, she had to be induced. Well, after countless hours of labor and several hours of pushing, Wesley Bennett Lorton made his debut! He weighed in at an astonishing 9lbs, 2ozs – and was 22.5” long! BIG BOY! Of course, Hans is now saying, “Let’s go for 9lbs 3ozs” – yeah right! Jakey and I have an agreement – he is not to be over 8lbs 8ozs tops!
Today I am 26w 1d pregnant. Only 97 more days to go – WOW!

Since my last entry the husband and I have purchased Jake’s bedding set (“Little MVP” from Babies R Us – so cute!), and ordered the dresser/changing table, glider & ottoman. This is the bedding set...
The dresser combo came in yesterday and my husband will probably put it together tomorrow on his day off. The glider will probably come in next week. Everything is coming together nicely! Today I am 21w 3d pregnant, and as I type he is kicking me and flipping around! He usually moves here and there during the day, but his real “hyper time” is between 8pm-10pm each night. That is when he really has a party in there! His other favorite activity is playing “kick the seatbelt” when I am driving to/from work. On another note, my good friend Ashley is currently 37w 3d pregnant, and is due March 16th. She had an appt yesterday and she is not dilated and is 30% effaced. We’re all very anxious to greet baby Wesley!
