Oh boy, oh boy!

It's a boy!  We're both so excited.  I have no clue how to raise a boy but I think Tom's got it under control.  We have his mom for advice.  My mom already informed me that she knows nothing about raising boys.  Honestly the biggest part of having a boy that freaks me out is diaper changing.  This week we're 29 weeks along.  In the 3rd trimester.  I'm starting to feel really big and roly poly.  I need to take some pictures but I haven't been feeling my prettiest so I've been putting it off.  I should do it now because I think it's only going to get worse.  Tom keeps telling me that I've never looked lovelier (good man) but it's hard to feel that way when my ankles have morphed into kankles.  :) 

I'm completely obsessed with decorating the nursery.  Tom keeps saying that my nesting is out of control.  Which is probably true since we're also redoing the backyard.  I keep eyeing other projects around the house.  Is it weird that I want to paint the ceilings because they look shabby?  Good thing IKEA opens up in Denver in July.  I need a cost effective way to nest.  My new recent obsession is pinterest.com.  Love, love, love that website. 

Besides baby our lives are pretty boring.  We work, we come home, I nap on the couch, Tom video games and we go to bed.  I'm headed to the open market on Saturday to search for some fun stuff for the nursery.  I'm taking a fun nutrition class where we talk about good foods for baby, baby food and lotions/soaps good for baby.  I've been having some doctor drama.  My doctor unexpectedly left the practice.  I was seeing another doctor on staff but she's due in July (I'm August 20th).  When I asked them who I would be seeing they didn't really seem to know.  So...I found a new office and feel much more confident in this doctor.  Now I just have to break up with my old doctor.  I feel bad.  I don't do well separating from people.  I didn't dump my dentist until my insurance changed and he wasn't covered.  I work with a woman who is a doula so I think she's going to help us in the delivery room.  I think it will be a good thing.  So with all of the new doctor, nutrition fun, doula support, and up coming parenting classes I think I've got a better handle on this whole parenting thing.  Still scares the you know what out of me but I don't feel so lost.

I'm off to bed.  I wake up pretty much all of the time.  This morning I was up 3 different times and finally at 3:30 couldn't get back to sleep until 6:30.  So early bed for me.  Night!
