Baby Boy Simpson Update...

I just got done with my OB appt today. I got some good news and some bad news...

First, the bad news....

* I have gained 6 pounds since my last appt. ummm, that was TWO WEEKS AGO!!! EEEKKK! My appt WAS at 1:30 (right after lunch) and I didn't take off my coat or shoes, but all that probably amounts to no more than a pound. SO, that puts me at (COUGH, COUGH) 28 pounds total gained so far. I wanted to stay FAR away from my 40 pounds of weight that I gained with Tatum, but it seems like I am right on track for that. Sigh, I guess things could be worse. I just want this baby to be healthy and the rest will fall into place.

Now, the good news...

* Dr. B didn't 'check' me or anything, but I got her to talk about an induction date with me anyway. We set it for 12/29 which I am happy with. Dr. B still thinks there is a good chance that Baby Boy Simpson will come early on his own, but we set the date up 'just in case'. I am not sure why she thinks he will come early, but that's what she said.

Physical Therapy is going well. I am enjoying getting out and getting some relief for my back pain 3 times a week. It is also great to get that massage at the end of my appt too!

Although Antonio and I said Saturday was THE DAY to decide on a baby name for sure, we never did agree on anything. Long story, short....he hates my names, and I hate his. This baby is either going to end up with NO middle name, 2 middle names, or a middle name that one of us hates.....sigh.

Being off work is going pretty well. I have been trying to do some things around the house. Some days, I seem to accomplish lots of things, but other days, I don't feel like doing anything. There is still LOTS to be done before the baby comes. I NEED this nesting thing to kick in soon, so we can get the house in order. The nursery is coming together. We bought our bedding and it is in the crib, but I still need to take down the pink curtains and other pink stuff in the nursery and put up some blue stuff for the baby.

Antonio and I also did some shopping this weekend (mostly for Antonio's birthday), but we did get the baby something to wear home from the hospital.

I guess that is it for now. I plan to take a belly pic sometime this week and post it since I haven't done that in a while, so stay tuned....
