Only 3(ish) weeks to go! We’re getting really excited and I’m sure everyone else is too! Check out this week’s picture:

Need a hat?
One of the gifts we got for Emily’s shower was made by my sister, Megan. Megan has taken up knitting and, by damn, she is good at it! The photo below doesn’t really show the detail of the stitches (is that what you call it in knitting?) but its pretty amazing how the turned out! She is really good at this stuff!

36 down, 4(ish) to go!
Wow, I can’t believe that I’ve hit the 36 week mark! Under 30 days now (as long as he cooperates). Paul and I are so excited to meet Little Sean; we sit in his room every night and look at his cute stuff and dream about how we’re only days away from meeting our little boy! He’s still kicking like crazy and loves to make my stomach lopsided by sticking his butt out my right side. I have feet sticking out the left and a butt to the right. This boy is going to love to stretch when he gets out!
Paul also took some really cool pictures of my tummy tonight; I put them in blank and white (much more pleasing to the eye…hehe) and cropped them up a bit and they really look amazing. Sorry for you all of you in internet-land though, you can’t see them. They show some parts of me that I don’t want hopping around on the internet 😉
Check out the 36 week picture by clicking here. Not too many of these left!

Busy Monday
Yesterday was my first Monday off work. I decided to decrease my hours from 40 to 32 starting yesterday so I’d have a little time to get last minute appointments in, get things ready for the baby and get some well needed rest! My day yesterday was pretty busy. Got Megabyte to the vet for all her shots, did all of laundry for little Sean’s clothes / sheets / etc, and visited the last 4 childcare places on my list. I did find one that I really like and I’m going to have Paul go with me sometime this week to check out my top 2 picks and get his input. Both places I found are very friendly, safe and very convenient to both our home and work.
I also had an appointment at a fire station to get the car seat installed in my car and inspected, but when I got there all the firetrucks were gone and no one was around. Oh well, guess fires take precedence over me 😉 I’ll have to try again another day.

So THAT’s what’s wrong with me!
Ever since the last few days in December, I’ve had several of bouts of dizziness and near fainting (even have had to leave work because of it). All the reading I did said that dizziness and lightheadedness was fairly normal in late pregnancy, but I knew that something had to be wrong. I can no longer stand up for more than 10 minutes without getting faint, I feel completely drained ALL the time, and get feel lightheaded pretty much all day. Nothing I eat or drink seems to help. I talked to my doctor Thursday about it; and he did some bloodwork on me. Turns out that I’m anemic. Darn kid; not only is he beating the living tar out of me, but he’s stealing all my iron too! My mom said that since he’s been doing triathlons in there and stealing my iron that she’s now going to call him Ironman. 🙂
My doctor prescribed me iron pills and said that should drastically help. My counts were really low, plus my blood pressure’s been on the low end, so I’m hoping for rapid improvement.
Glad to hear that something is going on though, I hate when I know that something’s not right and all tests come back normal; it’s just frustrating. Luckily, there actually was something off, and it’s an easy fix without any concerns for the baby.
On top of that though, I’ve caught a nasty cold. So, not only do I feel like crap from the iron being low, but now I have a head cold that I can’t take anything for…yay!!! I love pregnancy!! (just a wee bit of sarcasm there…)
Only 5 more weeks….only 5 more weeks…

35 Weeks
Sorry about not getting last week’s picture up, we kind of forgot until Thursday, then we got busy and just didn’t do it. Anyway, the 35-week picture is up and all I can say is “oh my gawd.” 🙂

Toy box from Grandpa Cahill
Paul’s dad, Lary, has been working on a handmade toy box for Little Sean. He finished it and Narni brought it down this weekend to my shower (hope to have those pictures posted soon). It turned out really great, and got rave reviews at the shower! No one could believe that it was handmade. We put it in Sean’s room when we got home and filled it with all his big toys that he’s gotten so far. It fits perfectly in the spot we measured for it. The green feet are great, especially with the bright red shiny nails! Thanks again Lary, we love it!

Hooter Hiders
Paul and I were in Babies R Us today cashing in some gift cards, and a lady was in the same isle with us with a really cool breastfeeding cover-up on. Another lady walked by her and asked her about the cover. She said it was a “hooter hider” and that she loves it because it not only covers you up, it has a rigid neckline that lets you see baby and baby see you. She told us the website where she got it from, and I looked them up. They are really neat; I want one! I really like the green paisley one; I think I’ll beg Paul for it 😉

Do’s and don’ts with babies
(Big) Sean passed this link on to me. I guess he is concerned that maybe I won’t be educated enough when (little) Sean comes into our family. Here is an example:

Busy weekend
I had a really busy weekend getting things ready for Little Sean. I started to make several lists: the hospital bag “what to pack” list, the “what needs to be done around the house before baby comes” list, and the “need to buy before baby comes” list. Paul and I hung up lots of stuff in Little Sean’s room too; the wall hangings, the two valances, the quilt, and a toy hammock. Everything is really starting to come together in the room and it is looking more and more ready to house a little boy! We are getting really excited, and with only 6 weeks left, we can hardly contain ourselves!
Look at pictures from his room after hanging everything:
