8 Weeks!

So today marks baby C's 8 week birthday. He/she has now graduated from an embryo to a fetus! We are already anxiously awaiting baby's arrival and it's hard to believe we have 32 weeks left to go! I'm sure it will go by quickly, but so far it seems pretty slow! I guess in a way I'm ready for school to start because I am sure that will help time pass. But, I am thankful that summer school is over and I can spend as much time on the couch as I'd like. I managed to do one school assignment, vacuum, dishes, and a load of clothes today. Of course I still fit in a good 3 hour nap this afternoon ;)

Mitch has been more wonderful than I could have expected. The few times I felt a need for a certain type of food, he's run out to get it for me! Yesterday I went to Sam's & Albertson's to do some grocery shopping, but still had a pretty long Wal-Mart list. I was quite pooped after those two stops, so he volunteered to go to Wal-Mart for me which he hates doing. He said he wanted to make sure he got used to doing things that I may not be able to do in the future. So sweet :) He's been telling me he loves me & the baby. I tear up thinking about what a great daddy he's going to be!

I've been feeling okay lately. I was pretty exhausted after working all day at summer school the first few days of this week. I've been thankful for downtime the last couple of days to rest. My queasiness/nausea isn't too bad & I'm ready for it to be non-existent! I've obviously been sleepy the past few days - hence my long nap today! I've had a headache off and on today. It's in my right temple where I normally get headaches, but it hasn't been near as bad as usual. I've just tried to ride it out and rest without taking any meds and it hasn't been too bad. Tylenol is okay to take, so if it gets too bad I'll take a couple.

On another note, I am SO unmotivated when it comes to school. This was a pregnancy symptom I did not see coming. I guess when I think about this baby on the way, I'd rather be resting, reading, and daydreaming than doing schoolwork. I'm trying to make my way through, but at this point I just want to finish. I've managed all A's so far, but if I end up with a couple of B's, it won't be the end of me.

I've been looking at some bedding and furniture online and did not realize this was going to be such a difficult decision! I'm sure we'll wait until we find out baby C's gender before we make any final decisions. I'd like some bedding that is fairly neutral. For the furniture, I'd like 2 main pieces: a crib & a dresser/changing table with a hutch on top. Those seem to be pretty expensive, but it's one piece that encompasses three (a changing table, dresser, bookshelf). I'm not sold on that piece yet because it might make the room seem kind of empty with only two pieces of furniture. We'll just have to see how things play out!

Well I'm off to figure out dinner for my baby daddy! :)
