Boring

I feel like I haven't had anything to blog about lately. The pregnancy is trucking along nicely and I'm feeling great.

We finished our baby registry @ Babysrus this past weekend. Talk about overwhelming. There was so many of the same things but different brands. We didn't know which was the best to get. I felt like there was a lot of stuff we missed to... but don't know that we have missed it yet. I'm glad it's done though!

I'm flying home at the end of April and my mamma is throwing us a baby shower in Kansas! I'm super excited to see everyone but bummed out b/c Ang won't be coming with me. She doesn't get paid time off work and can't afford to come home too. The good thing is a good friend of ours is throwing the baby shower for us in Arizona and she will be there for that one!

I also have two good friends in Kansas that are both preggo! One is four weeks behind me and is also having a boy, and the other is six weeks behind me and hasn't found out the sex yet! I'm excited to see them and their baby bumps!

Ang is getting more chances of feeling baby move. I feel like it is just luck of the draw though, because the kicks are so sporadic. Only twice know I have felt HUGE rolls, or body parts go across the whole length of my tummy! It's so crazy to feel!

I changed my last name, to Ang's last name this past November and finally yesterday morning got my ass to HR to get my name switched for all my work stuff and insurance. It was a relief to get that out of the way. Speaking of work... did you guys work up until your due date or schedule to be off a week or two before you were due? I see positives in both.. I want to work up until my due date because I don't want to have to take off any extra time from work, b/c I want to use it for when baby is here. But it also sounds appealing to have some time off for last minute preparations and to relax before baby comes.

I don't think I mentioned in my last few posts but I just found out a few weeks ago that my baby sister will be moving here to Arizona in August!!!!!!!!!!!! This is the most exciting news EVER. We love her, love having her around, and can't wait for her to be here. She is finishing up her bachelors of social work degree at KU and then will hopefully be able to fine a job fairly easy here. We have a great support group of friends here, but it is nice to know we will have family to be around this new baby boy!

  1. Worked up until the Dr. told me I had to stop. With Dylan that turned out to be just 2 days before I had her. Bed rest is really boring, and when you're super pregnant, you're not comfortable anyway. There's not much relaxing that really goes on.

    That's too bad Angie won't be here for the shower at your mom's, I bet you'll be missing her. Really excited to see you, though! :)

  2. I quit waitressing about a month before and then took off from my bank teller job about 11 days before my due date. I got to enjoy exactly 2 days of it before my water broke...lol I knew I wasn't going back though so I wasn't factoring in maternity leave. I would try to work up until you have the baby so you have as much leave as possible. What are you gonna do with little man when you go back to work? Just giving you more things to blog about :)
