31 Weeks Merry Christmas!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Wow, this year went by so fast. Christmas was great this year, we got to see a lot of family and spend quality time with everyone. It was so great. Evereyone kept reminding us that next year we will have Sabrina to share it with. I can't believe it.
I am 31 weeks pregnant now. Here is what we have been up to.
We have gradually worked on Decorating Sabrina's room over the past few months and I would say it is ALL DONE now. Arturo did an amazing job on the painting and chair rail, and I had so much fun decorating and putting in all the girly touches, it realy was a team effort. We could not imagine it turning out any better! Sabrina is one lucky girl if you ask me, I hope she loves her beautiful room!
Mom put together and mailed my baby shower invitations, and the shower will be on January 15th, so over the next few weeks we will be gearing up for that. I cant wait to see what her any my sisters put together, I'm sure it will be fabulous! The shower will be at our house, which works out well because everyone can come see Sabrina's room.
Last week I signed us up for some classes at the hospital to help us learn more about parenthood, caring for the baby, and breastfeeding. I still need to decide on a day and time for us to take our tour of the maternity wing and get pre-registered. Hopefully it is something we can do on a weekend. Perhaps I should call tomorrow to schedule that. I keep forgetting that February will sneak up on us really soon here.
My back pain has been better these days with a LOT of help from Arturo, he has been doing a lot around the house and reminding me to take it easy. My doctor also advised me to try not wearing high heels so much, because as of my last appointment with him I was still wearing my 3 and 4 inch heels every day. So I had the perfect excuse to go shoe shopping! The lower heeled shoes have really saved my back and with less back pain, I am usually in a better mood these days. ha ha
One new symptom I have been experiencing is hot flashes. I am always HOT! So needless to say our heating bill this winter has not been very high, I am running around in cotton dresses most of the time to stay cool. Pants are the worst, I start sweating so bad if my legs cant breathe.
I now visit the doctor every 2 weeks now. So I will see the doctor again this week, on Thursday. I will keep seeing him every 2 weeks through the end of January, then once a week in February until Sabrina is born.
That is about it for now. If I manage to feel up to it later tonight I will try to take some pictures of Sabrina's room and post them later.
For now here is a Christmas picture of Arturo and Me (and Sabrina, in my belly!)

28 Weeks! Hello 3rd Trimester and Hello Belly!
Wow, I had to recount today and realized I am 28 weeks now! Which means I have officially begun my 3rd trimester, the home stretch!
Thanksgiving was GREAT we got to spend time with our wonderful families and see people we don't see so often. I don't know if it was all the turkey I ate or this baby just started another growth spurt, but man has my belly popped! We went to my company holiday party tonight and I had Arturo take a picture of me in my dress before we left the house, WOW I sure am starting to look rounder!
In general I am still feeling good physically. But I am a bit more crabby these days, I try to keep myself in check though and not get too carried away with my emotions. Arturo does a good job of calming me and being just so sweet in general, it is hard to be crabby when he is around. I have developed some sciatic nerve pain and it is not fun at all. I have this constant pain in my right lower back and it radiates down my booty and thigh... it pretty much feels like someone kicked me in my butt! I have had it so easy so far, I should have known I would not get out of this pregnancy without some discomfort. I try not to think about it too much though and try convince mysself it isn't so bad, laying down helps too. Lets hope it eases up or something, otherwise it could be a long 12 more weeks.
I go back to the doctor on the 16th, and after this appoinment I will begin seeing the doctor every 2 weeks rather than monthly like I have been. Arturo and I have been looking into classes offered at the hospital to prepare for the baby's arrival and will be signing up to take those in January as well as take our tour of the maternity wing and pre-register with the hospital, to hopefully make the process much more smooth when I deliver (less paperwork)
Well it is late, and that is all I can stand to type. Goodnight
Here is the picture I promised.
