Basically in the past few weeks I have become a mother, a cow, a pacifier, a pillow and of course, a lovie. Let me just say this...my boy is definitely my fiance's son. He LOVES to eat (a.k.a. boobs) and he is super nosey. If he can't look around, he gets pissed.
He's growing like a weed though. Whoever said: "they don't stay little for long" was so right. Even in three weeks, he looks completely different and I can tell he's going to grow up way too fast. Now if only he will sleep in his crib. One day it'll happen.
As far as me, I'm still healing. When they removed my staples from my incision, my wound opened up. For a week or so they were packing it (basically stuffing it with a medical "ribbon") but the doctor decided she wanted it closed...NOW. I now have a wound VAC and I cannot wait to get it removed. It's bulky, it gets in the way, and the alarms are LOUD. It's supposed to help close faster, but only time will tell.
Well the baby is starting to get fussy. I'm pretty sure he wants to eat again. :)
Until Next Time:

Dentists, and contractions, and mucus plugs OH MY!
Well I'm sorry I haven't been posting much lately. So much has been going on and it's been leaving me a little...drained.
*My Grandmother was admitted to the hospital last Thursday for a bowel obstruction. They didn't know what caused it, or how to repair it. And since she had radiation therapy a few years ago they did not want to surgery. When they started running out of options they realized they had to do surgery. Fortunately it wasn't as bad as they thought. Somehow her small intestine got curled funny and they were able to repair the problem. With that being said, she's still in the hospital but is doing much better. They hope for her to be out of the hospital by Saturday.
*I've always had "bad" teeth. I've always had cavities. My front teeth were always pushed against each other. My wisdom teeth always ached. I've always had a jaw that clicks. And I haven't been to a dentist since I was 18. Yea...not so good. I finally had a cleaning yesterday. I have to get two wisdom teeth PULLED and two cavities filled. And when do they want to do this? Four...yes FOUR...days before my due date! I'm in tons of pain, but I think I'm just going to have to wait until after baby Boo is born. I don't want to risk taking care of a newborn and aching jaw/ teeth/ sockets. I guess I can handle the migraines/ pain until then.
*I've been having contractions? I'm not too sure. It's more like I'm crampy. Not period cramps (which is contractions apparently) but just cramps. They are annoying. They are worse in the morning. I want them to stop.
*On Friday I lost a part of my plug. Sorry, TMI..but yea. I think it was stress from my Gram Cracker being sick and me in pain from my teeth. Maybe Boo will be here sooner than later? Only time will tell. But I was also told that you can lose your plug and it will regenerate itself within 48 hours. And just because you lost your plug doesn't mean you'll go in labor.
*Greg has been absolutely amazing lately. Yes, he gets on my nerves. And yes, sometimes I get annoyed with him. But that's because he's getting nervous too. I forget that all of this is new to him too. I love that man.
*With everything going on, my energy level went to non-existent. I don't want to do ANYTHING. I know I need to clean. (Hurricane Greg is in FULL FORCE) But I just don't want to. I don't want to do laundry (I love doing laundry) and I don't want to pick things up around our room. I just don't want to. I want to nap. Hell, I don't want to finish up the nursery. I just have no desire to do it. I'm going to be a terrible mom. : /
*I just can't wait until Boo is here. This pregnancy is starting to stress me out. I know having him here will make things a whole lot better. Maybe I won't be so nervous then.
Well that's pretty much all of it. I think I'm gonna lay down or something. Maybe then I can get some energy. (Seriously I go to bed at 8pm wake up at like 6:30am and take a 2 hour nap...I'm that tired.)
