Aloha! Time for the 30 week update. These past ten weeks have really flown by especially because they were all wrapped up in Christmas, New Years and my birthday. It was so wonderful to find out that we were having a little boy and that has keep my excitement up as I count down to this little guy.
Christmas was really special for me because I really appreciated everything that Mary went through as a mother being pregnant with a little boy myself. I took a lot of time to reflect on what it must have been like to be given such a huge responsibility of raising the son of God. The thing that I concluded on was that it doesn't make my role any less important, I still need to teach my son of the importance of his life here on earth and that he can serve the Lord but it made me grateful for Mary in a way I have never thought of before because I can vouch for all my weaknesses as a mother and thinking of what it must of being like knowing that you were raising the future Savior of the world could only make you feel more unworthy.
New Years saw me resolve to do better and I discovered that pregnancy and sparkling cider do not mix very well at all. I over ate and ate during New Years and so Jenna and I decided to go on a sugar free diet and I have to say that I am feeling so much better for it! My birthday was awesome and I got to go back to Haleiwa Joes and I know that my baby is a meat eater because I feel great after eating a good steak!
Doctor visits have been uneventful except for failing my 1 hour glucose which means I needed to go and do a 3 hour test at Kahuku ---- BORED out of my mind---- but I passed and don't have gestational diabetes.The results did show that I am anemic so it is Iron pills for me. I am on the countdown now and I go to 2 week appointments starting next week, which means it not long till doctors start sticking their hands up where no hand should go...... Arrgh!
If I had any complaints it would not sleeping comfortably at night and having heartburn that feels likes a fire in my chest but my skin and hair looks amazing so who is complaining! LOL..... I am still doing my positive thinking towards a natural birth although often times I find myself thinking that I just schedule a casear day then I have an actually day to count down towards but I really really want to PUSH this kid right out of me! My positive thinking involves a fast labor and fast delivery.... maybe a little to optimistic but we will see!
I hope I don't have to do a 40 week update!
