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!)
Looking good! Enjoy the next few weeks of sleep and a clean house, and alone time with Arturo. It is so cliche to say but babies really do change everything!
