I'm 29 weeks and 3 days pregnant! I go to the doctor every 2 weeks now. My last appointment went well. My sugar and everything is perfect. My iron is a little low though so I have to take a pill every day.
I've been hurting more the past few days. He gets up next to my ribs and everything and makes it really painful when I move. I have a feeling I'm going to be getting huge in a couple days!
Josh's mom brought over the border for Colton's room yesterday. She's going to put it up sometime this week!
I sent out my baby shower invitations today for the one down here. I can't wait to see all the cute stuff for him.
Me and Josh are going up to my parents next tuesday. My sister in law and nieces are flying in monday. I'm so excited to see them. Sarah's going to take my pregnancy pictures while we're up there! She has all kinds of ideas for it. They're going to turn out great!!

We finally got Colton's crib and bedding set. It looks so cute! Josh's mom ordered the bedding set and she ordered a border to match. The border should be here soon!

My mom is here for the night. She's going with me to my doctor appointment tomorrow. I'll blog more tomorrow and let everyone know how Colton's doing.

I am now 27 weeks and 2 days pregnant! Little Colton still keeps me up all night. If he's not moving like crazy then I'm hurting too bad to lay down. I usually get about 3 hours of sleep in the morning after Josh gets up but that's not nearly enough sleep for me!
I got to spend the past 5 days with Josh and I loved it. We went to the carnival a couple days and we went fishing. We also layed on the couch a lot and just relaxed together! I've been hurting a lot the past few days and Josh tries so hard to make me feel better. Last night he even tried to sleep side ways in the bed because I thought it would be more comfortable. It didn't help me any so after a few minutes he had to get up and move again. He doesn't complain or anything. He just does whatever I ask him to do. He's so sweet! I don't know what I would do without him.
I realized this weekend that I'm going to have to spend a lot of my time inside this summer. I was out a lot and the heat is really hard on a pregnant person! It kind of makes me sad but I will happily give up my summer fun to keep my little boy healthy.

Things are about to change.

I have been hurting a lot more the past few days. I guess Colton is getting bigger fast! I'm ready for my next doctor appointment so I know everything's ok. I'm almost 27 weeks pregnant-about to hit the 3rd trimester! That means I'm going to get huge and be even more miserable than what I am now. But that also means I'm closer to having my little boy. Colton makes all the pain worth going through.
Josh is starting a new job this week. I'm a little nervous about the change. He's going to be working swing shift. He'll work 7 days and get 2 off. At his job now he just works 5 ten hour days and has weekends off. So you can see it's going to take some getting use to. I just hope he ends up liking the job.
We had planned to have him at the baby showers and everything but I think he might end up missing out on them =(
He'll definately be there when the baby is born though. No matter what!!
I know Josh is a little scared about starting a new job because he's been where he's at now for 2 years and he's close to all the people he works with. But he's doing it for our family and I'm so proud of him!
We went to an auction friday night and bought my twin nieces a few things for their birthday. We got them a bubble and chalk pack that has some other things in it, each a dora light up toy, and some big animal coloring books. I can't wait to see them next month!
Saturday we had town wide rummage sales. Me, Josh, and Eva (josh's mom) went to a lot of them. We got a few clothes for Colton and some books to read to him. We also got a new dresser to put in our bedroom. After the rummage sales me and Josh went and registered for the baby shower. We picked out some really cute stuff. Josh of course picked out camo onezies, camo diaper bags, camo shoes, camo hat haha. I'm excited for the baby showers to see what all cute stuff we're going to get!

I had a long but good memorial day weekend. Me and Josh went camping with a few people on friday and saturday then my parents came down sunday! They came to get their new trailer and horses. It was a very short visit but I'm glad I got to see them.
The past few weeks I haven't been able to sleep hardly at all during the night. My legs start hurting so bad and no matter what I do I just can't get comfortable. In about 14 weeks little Colton will be here. I love that we're having a baby but I don't think the whole pregnancy thing is for me haha. Some people love being pregnant and I'm just not one of those people. We're going to have more than one kid though so I guess I'll have to go through it again! I just keep telling myself that he'll be here soon and that all the puking and hurting and no sleep is worth it to have my wonderful baby boy!!
Colton is constantly moving. He has really powerful kicks and punches now and he seems to be having a good time inside me flipping around and moving all over!!
Josh has been so good to me during the past 6 months. He gets me anything I need and tries to comfort me when everything is hurting. I know I must get annoying with all my complaining but he just sits there and listens to what I have to say. I'm so happy to be having his baby. I love listening to him talk about how excited he is to be able to take his son places with him and to show him off. He already loves his boy so much and it's the sweetest thing to watch!
Every night we read a book to Colton. Me and Josh laugh so much reading the dr. suess books. There's no point to the stories but we read them anyways. Most of the time Colton kicks me and everything while we're reading. I think he likes the stories!
