Better and Better

I swear, I'm becoming a better blogger by the month! This post though, won't be quite as long as some of the others. It's just a little update.

First off, I think I've been feeling Little Bit move! I've been feeling little flutters that could be light little kicks and occassionally I'll get a feeling that makes me think "Hmmm, is that gas, or is that Little Bit?" 'Cause all the books say that the early movement is often mistaken for gas pains. Anyhow, we've listened to the heartbeat again since the last post and it seems to be holding steady a little lower than previous at about 147-158.

I've also been having a bit of pain that I know isn't related to Little Bit moving. After yet another trip to the ortho I've been made aware that the severe pain that I thought was in my tailbone is actually my SI joint. It was so inflammed that the only way to begin to make it feel any better was with a cortisone shot. So, yesterday I went for that injection, even though I have had them in the past and they are not enjoyable. So far, I'm still a little sore and stiff but that's to be expected and I have noticed a difference in my overall pain level so it seems to be working. It's just that with the high maintenance kiddos in my class I can't seem to really slow down.

Otherwise, the re-distribution continues. I haven't been gaining any weight but I am definitely starting to grow a little more! I still expected to be a little bigger than I am at this point but I'm not complaining. The less I gain the less I have to loose in the end. AND, we ordered our nursery furniture. Here's a pic...

This is the crib and the low dresser, it's also the color we chose, Classic Cherry...


This is a pic of the 5-drawer dresser that we got to complete the set...


So, we are super excited about the furniture but we do have to wait 6-8 weeks so it should be arriving right before Christmas. Merry Christmas Little Bit, thanks Grandnan and Granddad! (Now the mommy-to-be just has to light a fire under her own butt to clean out the will-be nursery)

Anyhow, that's the latest, stay tuned for Nov. 6th when we find out if it's a Cade or a Marley!!
