I had not one, but TWO appointments this week. The one I had yesterday was an ultrasound, so I was able to see my baby for the second time. When I first saw his profile in 2d I told Mike that the baby looks like him. HE thought the baby looked liked me! lol! Mom said he looked like me, too. Then they showed us a 4d view of his face. My first reaction was that he looked like me, but the more I looked, I saw Mike. SO, little man looks like BOTH of his parents. This is a good thing.:)
I got to thinking that my baby looked kinda alien like on the ultrasound, then like any NORMAL mother, I started panicking that I was going to have an ugly baby. After talking to several moms, I have found that everyone thinks that and that even right after they are born, moms are terrified at how their baby looks. SO, knowing this, I felt better. :)
Today's appointment was good, too. I did not test positive for gestational diabetes....YAY, I can still eat ice cream, but I have gained ANOTHER 7 pounds!! I cannot figure out where the weight is going! I was told I am still ok and that since I am not swollen, I don't need to worry about my weight. I was also visited with about my blood type. I have a blood type that only 15% of the population has which is A-. They explained that with this blood type, my body could build antibodies against this baby, which would affect future pregnancies. SO, I got a shot to protect this baby and then I will get another shot after he is born. If his blood type is different than mine, he will get a shot before going home. If it is the same, there is no issue. Ok, so I got that taken care of. The nurse was impressed by how well I take my shots!! lol! It's not that I am ok with them, or they don't hurt, it's just that I have figured if I stay relaxed, they don't hurt as bad getting them and then they don't hurt as much later on. So, NO, I do not enjoy them, I've just learned to deal with them.
Daddy has been working on Baby Lewis's room. We are going to do a "sports" theme. He has painted the room a two tone, with khaki on top and navy blue on the bottom. When it dries, he is going to put up a white trim. I think it will look so cute when it is all done! Pictures to come!

Very busy weekend
This was a busy weekend at the Lewis household. The hubby is off from work this week, but is studying for finals. I pray he does well. He has put a lot of time and effort into this semester and he deserves to do well. God will bless his efforts.
Mom, dad, and I went to Ponca City yesterday to watch my cousin Sarah graduate with an Associates from Northern Oklahoma College. She will continue schooling in the fall. It was a great time of celebration and another great excuse to go and visit my family!
Mom and I went today to Babies 'R Us to begin registering for a few things for little Baby Evan. I personally hate registering for stuff. I have no idea what I need and I am indecisive about what I like. I am also very overwhelmed about all the choices I have. I did register for a few things, though. I picked out a high chair and a pack and play and a few other small things...just to get started. Hopefully, as I talk to people and go to different stores, what I need and what I like will become more apparent.
Yesterday would have been my grandpa's birthday. He would have been 73. We still miss him. Tomorrow is my Uncle Brad's birthday. He is going to be 40. Strange that 40 doesn't sound so old anymore! He had to remind me at Christmas that it was my last Christmas in my 20's since I will be 30 next month! NEXT MONTH! Holy COW! It's all good! My 30's will be better than my 20's (from what I have heard).
The next few weeks will not be any slower. We have several events coming up between more graduations, wedding showers, and baby showers, weddings, and then baby! I am so excited and so scared to death at the same time. Life as I know it will be over and my heart will now be on the OUTSIDE of my body and I will worry myself sick about my little guy. OH! The pleasures of motherhood!
SO BLESSED beyond measure! Thank you, Jesus!
