34 weeks
Only 6 more weeks to go until Lily's due date. While I know that's not long and I want her to keep baking so she's nice and healthy, I've finally hit the point where I'm ready to be done aka not pregnant. And it's not because of the normal reasons of feeling huge or all the weird symptoms. I'm ready to be done so I can have a normal sex life again without a basketball in the way. Sorry if that's TMI.
On a less TMI note, most of my symptoms are fleeting at this point. Other than some insomnia sometimes and being uncomfortable when I sleep, I'm doing pretty great. I had my first baby shower this past weekend. Everyone was very generous and I feel very blessed. It was mostly clothes with a few bigger items like the stroller/car seat. My work is throwing me a shower sometime next week so I'm waiting to go buy stuff until after that. I still have a few big items and several smaller ones on our list.
My mom brought me the cradle she used with my brother. It's a wonderful wooden cradle. I'm torn on using it though. We were just planning on putting Lily in her crib right away. I know it's in another room but we'd have the monitor. My mom brought me the cradle to set up in our room. She said that the first several weeks I'll be so nervous that I'll be checking on her all the time, which I'm sure I will. But we'll need to change her diaper before feeding her and her changing station will be in the nursery. Unless we change her on the bed which I know DH is totally against. He's such a weenie about stuff like that.
Being lazy today. I've got pictures of the baby shower on Facebook. Not a lot of them but the highlights.
Re: 34 weeks
Read this, then got distracted by facebook pics since I am at home today. It seems like you had a wonderful shower, even if there were only 9 people! Hopefully, I will be mailing the mobile tomorrow or Wednesday. Mother nature gave me the day to work on it!
I am glad to hear you are feeling well!
01.21.2012---> I married a redhead I'm crazy about.
04.2016: IT'S A BOY! Elias Alan is due!
WDW trips: 05/14 (1st trip! Art of Animation; Little Mermaid), 05/15 (Pop Century!). DL Trips: 12/15
I think no matter where you place her (your room or her crib) you are going to be up all the time checking on her anyways. So you might as well make it a little easier at first and have her in your room. We have a cradle too that we plan on using for the first month or so in our room. Then he gets to move to his own room and sleep in his crib. Hopefully at that point we will have somewhat of a routine down.
Sex, whats that?! I have zero desire to have any and honestly the thought feels like a chore. My poor DH. So i give props to you for putting out at this stage in the game! LOL
Amity - yeah I think I've decided to use the cradle for the first month or two. At least until we get a routine down since I want to breast feed. I'm going to try to get her to nap in her crib during the day so she's at least familiar with it.
And yes, for most of this pregnancy I've had no interest in sex. DH is lucky if he gets it once a month. But I'm finally at least okay with the idea of it again, before just the thought of sex turned me off. So DH is happy about that.
We are just using a pack and play in our room for a while.
i was comfortable until about a week and a half ago. Now I have unbearable sciatic nerve pain and walk funny. I could care less about sex, I just want this over with.
I bought a bassinet. It will be in our room for a few months.
As far as sex, it happens about once every 3 weeks or so, if DH is lucky. I'm glad I'm not the only one who doesn't have a steady sex.
Married the love of my life on 1-21-12. Our princess arrived on 5-28-13.
