an eventful week...

This week proved to be challenging and exciting. Challenging because Tuesday was me and Josh's wedding anniversary. It hit me a lot harder than I thought it would. In fact, I still don't feel quite myself and it's almost Sunday. I took a break from my phone and from most people this week, except for my parents...I needed a little human contact...which has helped a little in just being able to deal with me and not having to worry about anyone else (minus Baby Girl Amen, of course). We'll see what this coming week brings. Hopefully, more peace and strength from Above.

This week has been exciting for a couple of reasons, though, too. First off, Monday I had another Doctor appointment. Baby Girl Amen sounds great and seems to be doing fine. I had to get a shot in the butt because me and Josh's blood types clash (he was A+, I'm O-). It wasn't too bad...I mean, if I can handle all the injections just to get pregnant, I can handle one more now. I also found out that I'll be seeing my doctor a little more often now. I go back in 3 weeks, then after that it'll be every 2 weeks, then every week once I get down to the last month. My baby girl is going to be here before I know it!

The second reason this week has been exciting is because I started my 6 week prepared childbirth class. My mom is my "coach," so she went along with me. I don't mind the class too much...especially since we practice relaxation techniques, which involves me getting massaged. :) I like that part.

And the third reason this week has been exciting is because we got Baby Girl Amen's room painted and her crib put together! YAY! The room color is so cute! It's called "Flamingo Pink." And it is PINK! I LOVE it! I also got new blinds and curtains put up in the nursery, too. It's all starting to come together now. It's so exciting! Later this week, probably during my childbirth class, my dad and brother are going to come back over to put the changer and dresser (and maybe my bookshelves, if they make it here by then) together for me. Then, that should do it for getting furniture assembled. It'll be up to me to do all the fine-tuning after that. I can't wait, either! I'm not putting any pictures of the room up until it's completely finished, sorry. I want everyone to anticipate and feel the excitement! hehe! :)

Baby Girl Amen is so strong and so funny. I love her so much already. I love being pregnant and knowing that soon I'll hold this little miracle in my arms.
