33 weeks

I'm posting this late because this last week has been very busy. I am currently in Ohio with my family because my grandpa passed away last Sunday and we "laid" him to rest this Saturday. Everything with the pregnancy is going well and our little guy is a mover for sure. After holding my newest little nephew it makes me even more anxious to have my little man here and hold and cuddle him.

They will be missed

This past week I have lost my aunt and my grandfather. I loved them both very much and they both invested in my life in great ways. I will never forget them, but I know they are now in heaven rejoicing with our Heavenly Father and that gives me peace in my heart.

I had a doctor's appointment on Tuesday for Zeddrick and I, all is well with both of us. Zeddrick's heart rate was in the 150's as usual and I'm measuring on track. I was able to get something for my heartburn and for my allergies so I am feeling a bit better as far as those things are concerned. We finally got plywood to replace our box springs on our bed so it is no longer 4 ft high and I can get in and out of bed with much more ease now. It was getting to the point where I would have had to use a step stool to get into bed if we hadn't done that. We are almost done getting the house organized and things ready for Zeddrick's arrival. I'm hoping that he decides to come early so that way Roland is able to take time off work to enjoy this little guys first couple of weeks with me. This will be the first time Roland will get to be a part of the labor and delivery of one of our children. I am so excited to have him support me through this and get to instantly bond with his little guy, it's a priceless moment he finally gets to experience with me.

This last week has been a bit of a turning point. I have become incredably uncomfortable in just about every position sitting, standing, laying on both sides and just about constantly. I am either carrying this baby lower then I did the girls or he is bigger then they were because I didn't feel like this with them until the last 2 to 3 weeks and I still have 2 months left. I have also started having a little bit of heartburn, not to much just enough to be annoying.
This week and next week Roland is home on leave so we are in the process of getting things as organized as possible for Zeddrick's arrival. Also taking time to really enjoy the girls and give them as much attention as we can. This is the first time in a long time they really get their daddy all to themselves and I know they are loving it.

Nothing to much has been going on this week except normal pregnancy things. I was having a bit of bleeding so they had me go in on Monday to be sure everything was ok and of course it is ok. Roland came along and was able to hear Zeddrick's heartbeat, that is always a precious moment for us both. Zeddrick is moving around a lot and his movements are very strong and hurt a bit here and there.
