Just an update

Here we are heading into our 30th week this weekend! 10 more to go. It feels like I should be having the baby alot sooner than 2 1/2 months but I am sure time will go by very quick. Things are going well for "little man". Who still has no name! Chuck and I are pretty sure we are going to wait to see what he looks like after he is born and maybe a name wil come to us!
I am feeling alright. Just achy. My pelvis is still sore and my varicose veins are out of control! Who knew little veins could hurt so bad! There is not much you can do for them either. I am elevating my leg and I have support stocking so they don't get much worse. I am hopeful they will be all better after delivery! :)

Hope everyone is doing well. AND we are one week away from Brookes 2nd birthday! Happy Birthday Brookie!!!!!

The third trimester is for the birds.

Here I am 1 week into the third trimester and my body feels like it's been through a war. My main complaint right now is my Varicose Veins. Who knew they hurt so bad! It feels like someone is holding a lighter up to my leg and burning it. I am having a hard time walking for an extended period of time. My Dr. told me there is not much I can do except elevate my leg a few times a day and try pressure on it. I hope it goes away very soon after delivery.

On a brighter note. "little man" is moving around like crazy and getting really big! He still doesn't have a name. Chuck told me this past weekend he kind of wants to wait until we see him to name him. SO he may not have a name until his birth day!!!

All and all I guess I can't complain too much. My leg does hurt alot but there are worse things that could be going on! I have my glucose tolerance test next week. Lets hope that comes back good!

Baby Boy Heid

Chuck and I are having a hard time picking a name for "baby boy". We have thought of quite a few but some just don't flow with our last name. We both liked the name Ethan, but Ethan Heid Kind of sounds like a chemical to us. I like Nicholas, but Chuck is not sure. He likes Tyler. I would hate it if people shortened it to TY Heid. no way.. How about Zachary?? I also like Braedon. Nicholas and Braedon are the 2 names I have on the top of my list right now. For middle names we would either use Charles, Anthony (which is Chucks middle) or Raymond after my grandpa. It depends what we pick for the first name. I also had liked the name Brady but Chucks response was "why don't we name him Thomas Brady Heid then!" For those of you that don't know who he is. Tom Brady is the quarterback for the New England Patriots. I just don't know. Any suggestions out there?? 13 weeks to go and I'd really like to name baby boy before delivery day!!!!!

Proud Sister

It's hard for me to believe that Brooke is turning 2 in a couple of weeks! Here is an updated picture of her. Look How's she has changed in 2 years! My little Princess is very girly. She is talking up a storm and starting to talk in sentences. (OH MAN!) She goes to music class every week and LOVED it. She also Loves animals more than baby dolls and never leaves the house without her bunny..My baby girl is growing up so quick..

The Wonderful World of Iron

For the past couple of months I have been tired. No Kidding right? I'm pregnant with a soon to be 2 year old. My tired had turned into pure exhaustion and I was getting to the point where it was too much to go anywhere because I felt like falling asleep driving. At my last OB appt. I expressed this concern to my DR. who had a strong suspicion that I was anemic. He took bloodwork to confirm and wrote me out a prescription. I came home and looked at my vitamins. I have been taking Flintstones (2 a day) like I did with Brooke because it made me less nauseated. After furthur investigating I discovered Flinstones have ZERO IRON in them. Pregnant women need Iron because the Placenta takes all of it! I have been going through this entire pregnancy with none! I def. do not eat a diet rich in Iron either. Well I am happy to say that after only 4 days on Iron, I am still tired but I feel my energy coming back! It's great that I actually feel like playing with Brooke again and taking her places! It's amazing what 1 little mineral will do for ya!!! :)

26 weeks down 14 to go!!!

It has been a while since I have blogged. Things are going very well! I am feeling pretty good for the most part. I still have alot of pelvic pain and I am OH SO TIRED! I am happy however that I am not throwing up like I did with Brooke!

"little man" is growing fast now! He still has no name. Chuck and I have a list of about 11 or 12 names that we read over once in a while. Boy names are just not as easy for us as girl names were!

I am starting to think about getting "little mans" room ready. Chuck and I are in the process of moving out bedroom into the former playroom. and the new baby will have our room! I am hoping to go to babies r us and shop for all the little boy things we need so I can start getting that stuff done! After all, I start the third trimester on SUNDAY!!!!
