The Nusery

My awesome nephew came over this last weekend and helped me put all the furniture for the nusery together. (He only swore under his breath once doing it). Now that it's all put together I was able to arrange everything and put the bedding on etc. The only thing left is the corner changing table that's coming this week, I'll put it in that corner that has the hamper in it now.  The general "theme" of the room is courtesy of the crib bedding I got from Kohls, it has puppies, police cars, and fire trucks.

The Crib.

The dresser.

Rocking Chair.

The window with the cute puppy valance.

The hamper, lamp and diaper stacker. (The corner changing table will go here, with the hamper to the side)

Anyways the nusery is all put together now, so it's ready to go if Ryder decides to make an early appearance.

The hits just keep on coming

Disclaimer: I know this is mostly me just whining, but sometimes I think pregnant women should be allowed to whine and vent, and stomp their feet, and pretty much just have a temper tantrum like the ones we'll have to deal with from our kids soon. So on with my tantrum ...

OUCH!! Seriously .. OUCH!! I get to be one of unlucky few women that actually gets to experience Mastitis WHILE PREGNANT. That's right I'm still pregnant, 8 weeks to go, already dealing with these ligament issues and NOW I also have a breast infection. HELLOOOO!!! I'm not even nursing yet!! I don 't think there's even milk in there yet!!  How is that possible? Of course my Doc says well it's very rare but it does happen, and then he tried to put a good spin on it by saying that since I'm dealing with all of this now the rest won't be so bad.... I have to say, I don't believe him.

End tantrum.

I'll be getting the nursury put together (for the most part that is) this weekend with help from my awesome 17 year old nephew. Thanks Colby! I'll try to get pictures up afterwards.

The Scoop on the pain ...

Some of you know or have noticed that I've been walking around kind of slow and sometimes even favoring one side. I have apparently pulled and maybe even torn some of the ligaments on the lower right portion of my belly, the pain radiates from the far right side towards my belly button (still an innie by the way), and is worse when I put too much weight on my right leg.

 Doctor says there really isn't anything they can do for it at this point. Even bed rest won't really help, since the belly is obviously still getting bigger and Ryder apparently likes to play with those sore ligaments, there  isn't any way for them to rest and heal until there isn't an "inside force" causing further issues :) (Not even born yet and he's already in trouble, the little punk)

 Ryder is doing okay, and Doc says as long as he keeps moving around (and belive me he does), and there are not other signs of complications,  I just get to be in constant pain until he's born. But Doc thinks since my body will be overly stressed by this it will eventually say enough is enough and I'll end up having him early.

So here's to 9 weeks or less left.
