maybe by the end i'll think of something to say about boden, but this one is more about baby sister, maybe mostly about me???
actually, this starts thru boden... two weeks ago it was in the 70's and now we are full fledged winter with snow and the whole works. it really caught us off guard. we had been talking about needing to get boden snow pants and all, but really hadn't made work of it. sent him to daycare on monday without looking outside or being very informed of the weather, thus with no boots or snowpants (the second of which we had none that fit him anyway). felt like a horrible mother all day, but later found out only 4 kids in daycare came with boots and snowpants, so that made me feel a little better. :) anyway........ i have spent the better part of the week looking for snowpants to fit our sweet boden. been frustrating, if you want the whole story, you need to talk to grammy as she has heard just about every step of it this week, just excluding tonight's venture, and i've already written more here than i intended for the whole post (how does that happen!).
so, i went to old navy tonight after supper and easily found a pair in his size in the color i was looking for. oh, if i had only gone there tuesday.... woulda, coulda, shoulda.... anyway, i have not been able to do this before tonight, don't really know why, but for some reason i have a hard time looking at the girl clothes, let alone buying them. can't really explain it, makes it all too real? i'm looking fwd to having a girl. just hard to take that step? boo hoo me. anyway, maybe it is because the clock is ticking, but i not only looked at some baby girl clothes tonight, but i actually bought some!!! yeah for me! :) they were all on clearence. there were a couple that i was nearly in love with, but didn't get because they weren't on sale.
the other is that i had a dr appointment for the baby today. this past week or so i have been incredibly tired. we have had a lot going on and i toss and turn at night, so i thought it most likely was because of that. when i'd mention it to eric, he would point out that i was indeed 8 months pregnant and it would make sense that i was tired. still, i have just felt more tired than i felt that i should. i almost didn't say anything when i went in today, but just thought i'd throw it out there anyway. glad i did. cuz i'm anemic. when they tested my iron when i first was pregnant my iron was 13 something, which is supposedly very good. then at the 28 week test, i was down to 11 something, which is still considered a reasonable level. well, i am currently 34 weeks and i have dropped to 9 something which is in the definitely anemic category. i have been a little weepy this week anyway, but i seriously almost started to cry when the nurse told me. it was such a relief to have a real reason for feeling so tired! they put me on iron pills, so when that kicks in, i'm supposed to see a notable difference in my energy level. i can't wait!
so, this post hasn't been totally about boden, indirectly a little about baby sister (which she will be becoming a very important part of this blog very soon), but probably mostly about me, but i am the mother right?
