Well, believe it or not I am now 36 weeks pregnant and have only 3 weeks left at the most! It is crazy to think about. I feel like I have been running around like a chicken with my head cut off recently, but it will all be worth it in the end.
Callie has been growing like crazy. My belly is getting huge. I feel like she has really decided to pop out and show the world that she exists, and I love it! She has been moving around like crazy and LOVES to dig her heal or whatever it is into mommies side, Ha! Here are a few updated pictures of my ever growing belly.
March and the beginning of April proved to be a very exciting, busy & crazy for me. I had 3 baby showers (which were AWESOME!!), hosted a baby shower, have been planning a bridal shower I will be hosting this weekend and trying to get things in order at work for my leave. It does not seem like too much, but lets just say I am a scatterbrained mess. On top of all this I went into the doctor last Wednesday after waking at 3:00am with extreme pain on my right side. The doctor sent me to ARA and discovered that my right Kidney was completely full of liquid and my left had a little from Callie pushing on my organs (Trouble from the start, He He). They could not see any kidney stones, but assumed that to be the case. They thought they might be too small. TALK ABOUT SERIOUS PAIN!!!! OUCH!!! They gave me pain pills until the stone could dissolve or pass, but I was basically out of commission from Wednesday till Sunday. Finally when I woke up Monday morning the pain had subsided a little. I was still queezy and nauseous, but I could handle that. Once the pain from that subsided, my body decided that it was still going to mess with me and I broke out in a rash all over my chest and stomach. I have had the rash for about a week now and it has not gone away =o(. It is so itchy and I cannot do much about it. It is probably PUPPP (Pruritic Urticarial Papules and Plaques of Pregnancy) which is a hive-like rash common in pregnant women and harmless besides the fact that is itches HORRIBLY and can last till I deliver. I hope that it does not last that long, but we shall see.
On a much lighter note, we finished Callie's room. It looks awesome! I am so happy with the way it turned out and cannot want to bring her home to see it! Here are some updated pictures of it.
Poor Adam has been working like crazy to get his 'Honey Do' list done before Callie's arrival. I was very excited last weekend because he finally completed the Patio that he started about 2 years ago. It looks awesome! He really did a great job! Here is a picture:
Now we are just playing the waiting game and seeing how long till we get to hold little miss Callie! If she does not come before May 7th, we will go in that evening to start the meds and induction will follow the next morning! 21 days left at the most until we meet her. Woo Hoo!
I will let y'all know if anything happens between now and then. Well, that is all the fun going on in our home right now.
Love you all,
The Casto's
