Thanksgiving was an adventure; I've been having a hard time getting around; she dropped a few weeks ago, and she is firmly lodged in my pelvic bone; everything there, blood vessels, nerves, tendons, all that is what is supporting her. And it hurts. I can't hardly walk; my pelvic bone feels like they are being ripped apart. I can't lift up my legs very far; putting on pants is a chore, and its hard to get up into bed, because it hurts to lift up my legs. Jon usually has to come pull me up out of bed to get up, and the first few steps of walking are hard, my spine doesn't want to straighten, and I'm afraid my back is going to give out.
So, with all this going on, I had to cook Thanksgiving dinner. I tried to manipulate it so I was doing all my prep work sitting at the table, did the majority of it the day before, and assigned jobs to my dad and Jon, but I was still hurting with all the standing around and cooking. Christmas should be even more fun.
I'm right about the 20-lb mark for weight gain, which I guess is ok, considering I didn't vomit with this one in the beginning, and I gained 10 pounds the first 3 months. Food has no interest for me. Its hard to make dinner/eat something when your just not interested. I can tell I'm hungry, and I need to eat, but I just don't want anything.
I'm having my baby shower this weekend. I almost didn't want to do it; I should have done it sooner, but I had my mind set on the beginning of December, and me and my sister were going to do it, and then some people from church said, "Oh, we can throw you a baby shower!" so I postponed the plans for mine, thinking they were going to throw one together. Well, it hadn't happened, so my Dec 6 baby shower turned into Dec 13 baby shower. I feel its too close to Christmas, but what can you do? I don't want an "after" baby shower.
I have a lady making me a cake; its going to be so cute! Can't wait to see it. As far as everything else goes, decorations and games and what not, I hope my sister has that worked out, cause I can't be the hostess to my own shower ;)
I have a pool worked up, if anyone wants to make guesses for my baby's due date ;)
