I had an OB appointment on Tuesday and I am all cleared to fly on the 8th to Cali for my baby shower that weekend! I will be almost 32 weeks pregnant, and anything before 36 is considered safe. I am so excited, although I have to admit it does make me a little nervous to be flying within my last trimester. Monday I started Lamaze/Birthing Classes and I will continue going for 5 weeks. I was worried about missing a class because of my little mini-vacation to CA, but thankfully since it's around spring break time, our instructor decided to give us 2 weeks off due to traveling and the amount of couples who are going to be gone. So yay for that! It's crazy how much closer to my due date is getting, and how much bigger I KEEP getting. It seems like just when I think I can't get any bigger, I do! I'm hoping for no stretch marks, but it looks like I'm just now starting to get a few. The midwife/instructor for the Birthing classses told us that there is absolutely NOTHING on the market that will prevent them. Not cocoa butter or vitamin e or massaging will work. That sucks, but that's life and it could be worse I guess. They aren't noticeable right now, but I freak out over the littlest things. Not healthy to stress I know. I can't help it, I'm trying though.
We FINALLY move into our new apartment next Tuesday or Wednesday and I cannot express how excited I am to be able to walk around my own apartment wearing (or not wearing) whatever I want! It's definitely going to be nice to come home to a place that is all ours. If we left the house clean, it's still going to be that way when we return. It's the little things I am looking forward to. Ahh soo exciting! I can't wait till our loan comes in so we can buy more stuff, decorating homes is so much fun! Can't wait!

Pregnancy
So I finally decided to start an actual blog, instead of using Myspace. I didn't want everyone knowing my business and Myspace, as we all know, is a little shady.
ANYWAYS...
As of today I am 29 weeks 4 days, meaning I have less than 11 weeks to go. I am hoping this last stretch will go by fast.
Here's a little recap of my 'wonderful' pregnancy...
1st Trimester:
Could not eat! Things I used to like made me totally sick and I actually lost more weight than anything. It sucked...
The heartburn started.....
2nd Trimester:
I had to visit the ER 3 times...
The first time I was here in gay Jacksonville, NC. I had been complaining of a weird stabbing like pain in my ribs and somach all they told me that I had was GERD (acid reflux) and sent me home with Zantac and Tums.
The second time I had period-like cramp and thought I was losing the baby. We get to the hospital (Camp Lejeune Naval Hospital...AGAIN) and I had to wait about 3 hours in the waiting room. After I was finally seen it took what felt like forever to find the baby's heartbeat. Then found out it was a bladder infection. Ugh...
The third time I (luckily) was in CA and those stabbing-like pains I had earlier when I first went to the ER turned out to be GALLSTONES. Meaning...SURGERY. Great! So there I was 19 weeks pregnant and having surgery to remove my gallbladder.
Third Trimester:
The heartburn has gotten about 100000x's worse and even the smallest thing like water, sets it off. My OB has put me on 3 different heartburn medications and still no relief.
I also found out that I am anemic, which isn't that bad considering all I have to do is take iron pills. But still, it's the fact that I am on yet another medication.
This now leaves me to where I am now...praying for an easy rest of the pregnancy. We know we're having a girl and her name is Rylie Chanel Salgado. My due date is May 30, although I honestly don't think I'm going to last that long. I'm giving myself until the middle of May.
The babyshower is early/mid April in CA...yay! I cannot wait! Alright I should go pick up the hubby from work.
