31 weeks and 5 days .

It's so weird to think I only have about 8 weeks left til I have my little Holden with me . It honestly hasn't really hit me yet , but I know that probably once I stop working and all that I'll be more in tune with what's actually happening to me right now . I got my disability papers from the doctor today , I am gonna be going on maternity leave in about 2 weeks . Oh happy days ! I feel like I haven't seen any of my friends throughout my whole pregnancy , so hopefully this will give me a chance to catch up with everyone . I gained 3 lbs since my last visit 2 weeks ago , and my doctor was happy about that . I have actually cut out drinking sugary drinks and only have been indulging in some good ol' H20 , and tea in the morning . I measured 34 cm last time and I measured the same this time . It's funny how just cutting out a little bit of sugar can make a big difference . I go back in 2 weeks , and I'll have some ultrasound pics to share .

The Life of a Cocktail Waitress..

You all probably know , I am a cocktail waitress . It's definitely getting to the point where I am starting to get really tired and over all my "wonderful well-tipping" customers ...besides that I'm getting to the point where I just can't really do anything there besides ringing in their order . I've noticed that even carrying a tray of drinks is hard , I get really exhausted easily . So I talked to my doctor (sidenote: I'm still so clueless about this whole maternity leave thing) and she said that she wants me to stop working as soon as possible . She said 32 weeks is ideal in her opinion , but for me not so much (when $$$ turns into $ things can get stressful , if you know what I mean). So , we talked it over and came to the conclusion that I'll be stopping work at 34 weeks . Maternity leave HERE I COME ! I can't wait.. then it's only a matter of time until Holden is here to grace us with his presence .

30 Week Ultrasound .

Today I went for my monthly checkup to the doctor . I measured 34 cm , which as you know you're supposedly supposed to be a cm per week , so the baby is measuring a little bigger than normal . Nothing to fret about tho , he's a very healthy boy . He's weighing in at 4.2 lbs , on average 30 weekers are supposed to be around 3.1 lbs so I'm thinkin' he's gonna be a big boy . If you've met my husband you know there's nothing small about him , nor my dad , nor his dad , soooooo I kind of expected this . I unfortunately don't have any pictures to post from the ultrasound , my doctor didn't really take any , she was just more concerned about him being healthy than getting us shots of him , and he is so that's all that matters to me ! That's all for now..
