Well things are going well. We are just getting ready for our little babe to come. Each day we are more and more excited for the big day. We are still so grateful to be pregnant. Annabelle is definitely our miracle baby. Life is already better with her. Caleb has been a wonderful husband to me. He is soo patient and loving with me that sometimes I wonder how he puts up with me. I must admit sometimes I am not the kindest person to be around. I am truly blessed to have him.
I saw the doctor today and as usual I made him laugh. Unfortunately, there is nothing he can do about me snoring at night. I was hoping for a cure cuz to his surprise it wakes me up at night! He is concerned about all the weight I have put on since it can lead to toxemia, but as of right now he is pleased my vitals are normal. Then I opened my big mouth and told him that all my cravings seem to be happening now instead of earlier in my pregnancy. He then proceeded to ask me what I was craving. So as honest and serious of a persons I am I told him just the normal things like ice-cream, candy and anything related to sugar! Here is the best part............ he told me as he laughed that I was really bad and that maybe not all of my weight gain is related to fluid retention. Since I was on the roll of being flat out honest I decided that I would tell the truth about the iron pill I was taking every other day. He wondered why I just wouldn't take if every day and I explained my thinking behind being "slightly anemic" He thought I was trying to manipulate him and wondered if I did it too everyone, but I assured him of my all my honest intentions which seemed to please him. He told him they like to see the iron level above 30 at the time of delivery and my level was 29. So to make a long story short Dr. Heidi is correct and cleared take it every other day!! Annabelle's heartbeat sounds good, fast and strong and we look forward to hearing it again in two weeks. Hopefully I can maintain my weight for the next two weeks when I am privileged to see him again.
I will be taking some pics here in the next week! Soo stay tuned to see the unveiling of .....as Dr. Brown calls me "a big girl now!"!!!! hehehe!

yeah, you can't eat ice cream every night of your pregnancy and blame it on water weight my friend. ease up there a bit or you'll be like me and wishing for those last couple baby pounds to fall off.
and remind me again when your due date is? i am your awesome sister who can't remember.
