Well, my feet are beginning to swell. It’s the worst pain ever. I’m a shoe person, not much of a sandal person. Well, my shoe now fits me super tight. I can walk in them fine, but when it’s time to take my shoes off, I can see my sock lining marks and they hurt.
So, I decided to just stop wearing my shoes for the pain. Today, I tried my leather sandals, and oh gosh, worse!
I now have like the worst pain. They hurt every step I take. So, I now need to go buy myself new comfortable shoes. I don’t even care about the design. I’m looking for the kind of shoes that people say “Eww!,” but feel so great. Haha.
Other than my feet killing me, I’m fine. :)) I still want the weeks to go by faster. I just want my baby boy to come!
Talking about the baby boy, I’m scared. My OB-GYN doctor already told me that I’m expecting a baby boy. He showed me my son’s penis and everything.
Well, on Sunday, a woman at my church told my family and I that she too was told that she was having a boy throughout her whole pregnancy and when the baby was born, it was a girl.
If in the end that was to happen to me, I wouldn’t mind. This baby is mine and I will accept him or her as he/she comes. But, I’ve already bought the boy clothing and we already have the Nursery Room planned. If the baby were to be born and if it were to be a girl, then what can we do? Try to return everything and exchange it for girl clothing?
I hope that this doesn’t happen to me. I already have my baby’s name chosen. I really hope that everything comes out fine. I can only pray! :)))
Today, I was tested for Gestational Diabetes. This might seem quite dumb, but I didn’t even know what the test was for. :(( So, like always, I Googled it. Hahahaha. :))
What is Gestational Diabetes?
Pregnant women who have never had diabetes before but who have high blood sugar (glucose) levels during pregnancy are said to have gestational diabetes. Based on recently announced diagnostic criteria for gestational diabetes, it is estimated that gestational diabetes affects 18% of pregnancies.
So, that was what I found out. The nurse made me drink this orange drink and it tasted quite horrible. I wanted to vomit, just saying. I had to wait for an hour and I tested 126. She said that that was high, but that I still had to wait for one more hour. So, I waited.
I was worrying about this test. I have been eating lots of Snickers bars. I’m a huge fan of Snicker bars and when I can get my husband to buy me one, I do. But I felt quite guilty as I waited for my results. I didn’t want to be the cause of something bad happening to my baby. I was worried. I was hoping every moment that the results would come out fine.
When I was tested again, I tested 104. I was so relieved. I was told that that was normal and that I could leave. It was such a relief. :)))
I’m so happy. :))
Though we haven’t started painting or really anything in the Nursery Room, we do already have plans. My husband and I already know what color the room is going to be painted, the theme. Yet there is still nothing there.
There isn’t even a crib in the room yet. My husband and I are still using the soon-to-be Nursery Room. At the moment, that is still our room. I am 26 weeks pregnant and that worries me. I just hate that there is nothing. We have clothing, diapers, wipes, few things like that. That also worries me. I feel like we should have everything prepared. Time is going by so fast. I’m just so worried that when the baby comes, there will be nothing.
We already know which crib we’re buying. My father actually volunteered to buy the baby the crib. It’s his gift he is giving to us. The crib we chose is online at Babysupermall.com. :)) That site has great stuff. We’re also buying the crib set there. The whole crib set is of Mickey Mouse. My mother designed my room with Mickey and I thought it cute to do the same for my boy. Though, my mom designed my room with Mickey and Minnie. My boy is just going to have Mickey Mouse. :))
The Nursery Room is going to turn out great. The way my husband and I have planned for the room to look, it will look gorgeous. :))
I’ll keep the Nursery Room and everything updated. 🙂 I sure hope we could hurry with his room. I want the room done before 35 weeks of my pregnancy. If sooner…better! I guess only time could tell.
I hope everything goes well. 🙂
Today, I just realized that I had very light stretch marks. Well, I didn’t. My mother told me. She was helping get a skirt on and because we were close to the window, they were visible.
I kind of freaked out. I wasn’t looking forward to that part of the pregnancy. I hoped so much that I wouldn’t get any. Though they are tiny, they are there. I was a little worried until I spoke to my husband about it. I told him and he was disturbed.
He told me something that I really needed to hear. I was complaining about something and that upset him. He told me that I shouldn’t be complaining, that I should just be happy that the baby is healthy. Stretchmarks should be the least of my worries.
That really made me feel better. Though that is not going to stop me from applying lots of lotion to my stomach every night and morning, it made me realize something. I am in no position to complain. I’m so thankful to God. And I’m being so selfish. My husband is right!
Though I wished this never happened, I love my baby. And if stretchmarks are what I will earn through my pregnancy, then be it. I’m gaining something very beautiful at the end. I will never be able to thank God for this miracle. Though my baby isn’t here with me yet. I thank God for taking care of my baby.
I could never be more grateful. :)) I’m glad that some sense got knocked into me. 🙂
23 Weeks && 2 Days Pregnant!
Is it me or are a lot of pregnant teens finding it “cute” and “fun” to have a kid? I understand that, OK, maybe reality hasn’t set in yet for them ….Not until the first few weeks after their baby is born, but too many teenagers are getting pregnant!!!
I mean, my former high school has 9 teens pregnant and not all of them are pregnant. In the past, there were more mistakes…Nowadays, a typical 13-year-old’s dream is to “get pregnant fall in love, and have kids”
I am simply saying this is a “trend” escalating to unreal heights…
And for MTV to play these episodes of Teen Mom and 16 & pregnant… These episodes may be a LESSON LEARNED for most girls… But to some, it only makes them want a baby of their own….Completely ignoring the reality of how difficult it is to support a child.
I am newly pregnant, I turn 19 in May. I am in no way shape or form glamourizing my pregnancy. If anything, I am taking it seriously and prepared to pay the consequences…..
All I can do is move forward and explain to other teens to be more careful.!!!!! It doesn’t hurt!!
I used to be the person who’d tell someone to back the f*** off in a second because they had no right to give an opinion on my life. I’m still that person, but I hate to be rude unless I’m irritated then I’m willing to punch you in the face. Sounds aggressive, yeah I know. It’s a hard month for me. I don’t like to deal with BS because it’s stupid and pointless. Lately, it has been like I’m a little kid being taught not to hit someone. I don’t need lectures to tell me what to do with my life. I don’t need them to tell me when I should have a baby. I don’t need them to tell me that I should go to an actual college. I don’t need them so the person giving it can tell me their opinion. Because I didn’t ask. If I don’t ask, I don’t value it. So it’s just wasting my time. I ask for advice from those who I know will support me no matter what. Not those who tell me “Oh I hope you’re not pregnant because it’s not good for you right now and it’s more likely the baby will die because it’s so close to your last miscarriage.” No, keep your comments to yourself.
