I'm supposed to be on bed rest, but this weekend has been very busy. How am I supposed to lay in bed all day, everyday when I have things that have to get done???
Recap of our weekend-
Saturday- We had our 4D ultrasound and Corbin was absolutely precious! I'm so glad we did it! His feet and toes are so cute. And he has Justin's cute chin and nose. I just love him so much!! He was sucking on his toes during the beginning and then he moved toward the placenta, so it was hard to get some good shots. I'll post my favorite pics.
After our ultrasound, we went to Cookout and ate lunch. Then, me and mama went to the commissary to get some things for the shower.
After that, I met with a guy who wants to rent out Justin's house. God truly is good and answers prayers! I was so worried we wouldn't be able to rent it out for $1,000 a month, but this family wants it and paid the deposit on Saturday. Hopefully, they will be moving in this weekend and will pay us for the first months rent then. I was so worried because we can't afford to pay the mortgage on his house and our house and all the bills plus, another house payment when we move in May. I'm just so relieved! One thing off my checklist and off my shoulders!
After he signed the lease, me and Justin went to AT&T to look at the iPhone 4. We really wanted to get them because we can do FaceTime when he leaves and maybe it won't be so hard on me. And if, for some horrible reason, I do have Corbin while he is gone, We can use our phones to see each other while I'm in the hospital.
Well, they told us that I can get a new phone now, but Justin has to wait until March 1st. I was ticked because he won't be here then!!! Ughh I was getting so frustrated. So, I called customer service and told them, ok, I raised my voice slightly, about our situation and I demanded to talk to a manager. Finally, after 20 minutes on the phone with them, they waived the few days so he can get a new phone this week too before he leaves. I was so happy! The 2 year contract price for a new phone was $99 but if we bought the phone without renewing our contract if would have been a lot more than that!
After we finally got home, we went to bed around midnight. Justin was rubbing my shoulders and I just started bawling! I started thinking about him leaving in one week and I got so upset. I couldn't stop crying. I'm happy he is going to recruiter school because that's what he wants to do, but I'm so sad I can't be with him while he is there. It just hit me like a ton of bricks that if Corbin comes before 34 weeks, Justin won't be here to see him being born. I just keep telling myself, 8 weeks is better than 7 months... But it doesn't help! I woke up at 4 am and started crying again... We decided that it will probably be best for me (mentally) to keep my plans and go to Florida for those first two weeks and stay with my sister and her kids. I really think it will help me keep my mind sane and I won't get so depressed so quickly.
Sunday- We had my first baby shower. AND I started the 25th week of pregnancy! Woohoo!
I was really worried that no one was going to show up because apparently some people never got their invitations in the mail. But, 2 of my family members from Durham came and a few from Ayden and Greenville came. My sweet neighbors came, and one of my best friends came. I was just shocked that the one person who was supposed to be in charge of the shower didn't come. But thank God for my mama, aunt, and my grandma. They put everything together and we had a great time and lots of laughs. I got some really cute things and some REALLY soft blankets. I was really excited about those :)
So.... Like I said, this week is week 25. I can't believe I'm this far already. It makes me smile when I feel him move. Here's my weekly questions...
How big is baby?: Approx 13.5 inches and approx 1.5 lbs. (according to Baby Center)
Stretch marks?: Still the same two lines on the right side of my belly
Maternity clothes?: Yep!
Sleep: I didn't sleep much on Saturday night but it wasn't because of the baby. I had a lot on my mind. Other than that one night, I've been sleeping through the night.
Best moment this week: Having a baby shower to celebrate this sweet baby inside me. Getting a new iPhone. Renting out Justin's house.
Movement: Everyday! And his movements are getting really strong. I still feel him the most in the mornings and at night before bed
Food cravings: FRUIT! I've wanted it the whole pregnancy, but this week I've REALLY wanted it. It's just so good!!! lol
Gender: Still a Boy
Labor Signs: Nope
Belly Button in or out?: It's still in, for now, but barely. I have a very deep belly button, and it's starting to get flat. lol
What I miss: Sleeping on my stomach.
What I am looking forward to: Seeing my sister, and her kids
Here are some pictures from this weekend...
