Week 25

I am way behind on posts this week because I am still sick! After ten days of putting up with this nonsense I finally decided I do not agree it is "just a cold" and went to my primary care physician. Thank goodness because now I have the proper prescription drugs and am starting to feel better. I'm home from work today and trying to get plenty of rest and fluids in an effort to be over this by tomorrow. The doctor took a look in my ear and said it is so swollen it has almost swollen shut, and recommended no plane flights. Awesome, so the two I took on Tuesday were probably not a good idea? I am being treated for bacterial infection because they are unable to do more intense testing while I am pregnant without risk. So hopefully that is what I have and this will be over soon.
On top of my ailments, my darling husband was playing with his new toys in the basement Tuesday night and put a staple through his hand. Luckily our friend Adam was here to take Ben to the ER and wait two hours since clearly in my condition I was not up to it pre-doctor. He is fine now and was given a Darwin award by the Doc who asked to take a picture to show to his friends that always ask about the strange stuff he sees in the ER. We are so proud. :)
Week 25 has definitely been entertaining as you can tell, but the baby girl is doing great considering. Her bedroom is painted a beautiful shade of lavender courtesy of her Daddy and Granddaddy. Unfortunately she does not have any furniture of her own yet and with only 15 weeks until E.D.D. we have high priority to get on top of that! My friend from work had her little boy last Friday and she was almost two weeks early, egads. Although we all know the odds are more in favor of me being 3-4 weeks late and ready to spontaneously combust rather than be able to go in early.
The crazy feeling this week has been how much my life has already changed. I went from being so nervous all the time about pregnancy and wondering what was next to feeling comfortable with the process and so proud of what my body is able to do. Now all I can think about is how fun it will be when she finally gets here. Although I really enjoy my current family with me, Ben, the kitty, and the boys...it's as if I already miss her because we are waiting for her to complete us.
