Update: 24 weeks + 5 days.... and counting



It has been way too long since I have posted, so I need to update everything. First... It's a BOY!! We are so excited. His name is Alex James. My dad was Al and Tony's dad and my paw paw are James. We are going to call him AJ. He is going to be a big boy. He was almost a pound at my 20 weeks scan. Tony and were both big babies, so I can only imagine. He is very active and moving around like crazy. I love it when he makes big moves. I have felt his hiccups once and it made me laugh. I am getting ready to start on the nursery and it is so exciting. We got the crib last weekend, but that's it so far. We are going to do it in a sports theme.

As far as I go, I don't think pregnancy is my favorite thing. I am now in physical therapy twice a week for my back pain. It's nice to get in the warm pool, but I don't think it is really helping. I still have pain most every day. My feet are so swollen, I can't hardly put shoes on and they hurt so bad I have to stand on a towel to even dry my hair. Also, I have today found out that I have pregnancy gingivitis, which was no fun at the dentist when they had to do a deep cleaning. OUCH! I would seriously rather lose a pinky toe than to have to go to the dentist. HOWEVER, with all that being said, it's supposed to be worth every minute of it, right? I have gained tons of weight so far. I don't really have specific cravings, I just want to eat all the time.

An update on nana: She is doing very well. Completely cancer free and is doing great. Still sore, but much better. She is getting around better now than she was prior to the surgery it seems like. I've gone to see her twice this week and she looks great! She is such a strong woman. She said she has to make sure she's here to help with this great grand baby.
