Less than 10 weeks!

So I am kind of confused with the whole timeline of my pregnancy, because according to BabyCenter and my calendar I have about 9 1/2 weeks left until my due date, making me about 7 months pregnant! But my doctor says I am actually more like 6 1/2 months pregnant. Pregnancy is actually 42 weeks, not 40, blah blah technicalities blah. ANYWAY, I am sticking to the fact that I am currently at 30 weeks, and will be a full 7 months pregnant at the end of the week, because that is what I counted out based on a due date of December 17th. Any objections? :P

Alexander is over 3 pounds now! He is about 16" long. Baby center compares carrying him right now to carrying four navel oranges. Also, they briefly mention him kicking and moving. Really? REALLY? I hadn't noticed! Sitting in bed at night reading, my belly looks like a wave pool as he moves around. He seems to favor my right side so forget about laying on my right side or bending to my right. He gets cranky and kicks up under the ribcage, and oh boy that's fun!

Are you ready for some really good news? My Hyperemesis has subsided. A LOT. In fact, I have been taking the pump out during the day and keeping it in overnight for the past week or two. Last night I didn't put the pump in at all. I have had my pump out for 25 hours and I feel great! I have taken oral zofran tabs: two yesterday, and one this morning, just to keep the nausea away. If I never have to look at that pump again it will be too soon.

Nursery decorating is going soo well! We have our crib & bedding, a dresser that we are using as a changing table, a shelf for storage baskets (the baskets we registered for at Babies R Us, hint hint :P ), a cute rug, and our latest addition- CURTAINS!


Well, now that I have SUFFICIENTLY rambled, I am off to do something productive (who knows what that is). See you all soon at various baby showers! <3
