I'm Anemic! 28 weeks

Yesterday I did my glucose test-- I drank the fruit punch flavor, and it wasn't that bad. I also purposefully didn't drink any water for the 30 minutes or so before the test so I was PARCHED. Any liquid felt good :)


Dr. Judd called today to let me know that I'm anemic. I have to take an iron supplement. Waiting to hear back to get the prescription called in, but oh well. I can handle a minor iron deficiency! Just as long as my tiny baby is growing nicely :)

Family Baby Shower I - Dad's side of the family!

Today I went to Donna's house in Annapolis for a wonderful baby shower thrown by Dad's side of the family. Mom and Grandmom were there, as were: Donna, Tony, Brady & his adorable little Lilia, Tre, Angie, Coral & Cayman, Aunt Jeanne & Michele, Uncle Don, Lauree & Mike, and Hilary and Roger. The shower was also for Hilary, who is going to have a little girl in May.

I got some wonderful presents and can't wait to share them with Liam! We are so blessed to have a wonderful family so eager to support and welcome our baby boy!!!

Hiccuping Baby Boy!

I started feeling Liam's hiccups! It happened yesterday morning at school during 1st period. I just had to text Matt (at lunch, I'm responsible!) to tell him about it... it was so cute.

The thing that bothers me is google. If you google "fetal hiccups" you see a whole bunch of scary stuff about cord compression and hiccups. Dear Lord, I love this little guy so much and I don't want anything to go wrong. The internet is so scary!

I know it's totally normal for the baby to be hiccuping, so I'm going to just hope for the best. Love you, Liam!

Stroller colors!

We registered over a month ago at Babies R Us. I went in expecting it to be stressful and it really wasn't; it was great! We got a stroller that we were both really happy with, and picked it in a deep purple color that goes with our favorite football team-- the Ravens.

And then I got home. I got to thinking that the purple made no sense. Liam is a boy, sure, but it's not that I care about "genderizing" specific colors. I do however kinda like colors agreeing with each other. I am not a "matchy" person, but while I was at Target I saw a woman with our purple stroller and a little boy. The light baby blue blanket in the purple stroller just looked clash-y. I know! Picky picky. But all of our blankets and outfits will be in blues, greens or browns. There would be very few purples.

So we switched. We went from purple to light green, and I can't wait to see how cute his little dinosaur blankets are in the stroller. Bet yet I can't wait to see how cute my little dinosaur is in his stroller! He is kicking and squirming all the time now. I love him soooo much.

Stay strong little baby and keep growing. I will see you in 10+ weeks! Love, mommy

Scoogie Woo

My little scudger loves to move around in my tummy. I call him my scudger (scooger?) because he scudges across my belly sometimes, bump, bump, bump! I love it. I love my little guy so much! When he starts moving around all I want to do is just watch... I wish I had a window into my belly so I could see him and see what he's doing and see what he looks like. I can not wait to see what he looks like! Will he have a head full of hair? Who knows!!! :)

I just love my little guy so much!
