Some Quick Updates in my Life and Other Things

It's been a few weeks since my last blog so I thought that I would give just a quick update on my life and such. I Promise to do before and after pics of the nursery on here soon but have more pics to take. I recently added curtains and now that I have had some baby showers there is lots more stuff in the room as well that I need to organize.

Today I went to the lung doctor to check up on my sarcoidosis. If you ask me the appointment was a waste of my time. They didn't do another x-ray or anything. The doctor just reviewed my case and asked if I was having anymore problems. We also scheduled an x-ray four months from now. And he may possibly want to do a cat scan but we'll just have to wait and see. The good news is that I may no longer have to see him anymore after that. The lymph nodes on my lungs aren't going anywhere and they can't treat them so there really isn't much of a point to going in every six months.

I go to my obgyn later this week. Nothing much to report there. I'll be 35 weeks then. I think I have finally reached the stage where I am sick of being pregnant. I'm tired of having my throat burn like fire from my acid reflux, and tired of being fat. By the way no woman ever wants to hear how big they are pregnant or not. Just saying. I can't sleep worth shit as I'm up every hour or two. I either have to pee or have painful acid crawling back up my throat. I'm still waiting to get fmla paperwork from Sally's House filled out but hopefully will have it done soon. I plan on working until I pop but I just want it done and over with so it's one less thing for me to worry about.

I had a baby shower on Saturday where a good time was had. I don't currently have any pictures but may post some on facebook soon. I also just came from a shower that my aunt threw for me. Now I have a better idea of what I need to go and buy. We have all the big things now it's just a few smaller items and I think we will be set!

I would like to go on one small rant about gift registries though. Whether it's for baby, wedding or whatever. It sounds like such a good idea in theory. I mean you go to the store and tell people what you want and need them to buy for you. Sounds perfect! But I've noticed that a lot of people just buy what they think you need or want anyway. It's not as bad with wedding registries though. People typically will go off those. But there's always a few people that think some fancy pants glass vase or something is necessary instead of that blender you actually need. Baby registries people don't really follow so much. Most of the time people just can't help themselves and buy tons of little outfits. Then you have clothes they grow out of before they wear. Sad day when that happens. It's okay though. It's the thought that counts. Bless those of you that print out registries and actually read them. But I will admit that I find them hard to read sometimes and feel like just buying whatever.

It's been about three weeks since I've done zumba and it totally sucks not being able to go. I miss it terribly. The thing that sucks is when I do go back I will most likely have forgotten everything and have to relearn all the moves, plus learn lots of new songs. I have decided to share a video of one of my favorite songs. The choreography is pretty much what we do in class but with some differences. I just wish the camera was filming it from the front instead of off to the side. Feel free to follow along at home if you're bored. I also think this is the first video that has a guy in class that can move.



This next one I have been wanting to share for awhile but could never find it. There are lots of zumba videos with this song but I could never find the right routine. I was ablout to give up when I found it after searching forever. This routine is also one of my favorites. Even though it totally kicks my ass. Enjoy! And feel free to jump along at home. There's really only one part that is different but otherwise it's the same one from class.




That's pretty much all I have to say for now. Till next time friends. Keep positive thoughts for me and baby Grayson coming our way!
