On Sunday, I had my third 3D ultrasound session and Maliya cooperated. We finally got our photos and dvd and don't have to go back anymore. I think she looks just like Dillon but we'll see when she's actually here! I can't wait, just under 10 weeks until my due date. I turned 30 weeks yesterday and I had Mr take a full body photo, which I don't ever do even when not pregnant. So I would like to share it with ya'll because I don't think it looks that bad. My face is a bit round, but that happens I guess! So here is me at 30 weeks pregnant.
Yesterday I took Boog to get his hair cut, it was just too shaggy and with his cowlick...shaggy doesn't look right at all to me. I absolutely love how it turned out, the woman did an amazing job. I'm going to request her when I make his future appointments. She did the cut exactly how I wanted it to look, I was very pleased. Then we went to Best Buy and stood in line for what felt like forever, so I could make a payment on my Best Buy credit card. It was the return line at the customer service desk...so that wasn't fun. At least Dillon was a good boy while we were there, he just looked at the cards and photo albums where we were standing.
Last night we recieved awful news. Our close friends son lost his battle with Retinoblastoma. He beat the cancer twice but it came back again and he couldn't fight anymore. I was devastated when Mr called me from work with the news, Dillon got dinner late because I was crying so hard. I had baby-sat him as a newborn and we've known the couple since 2004. Mr and the husband were together in bootcamp, roomates in training school and even on the same ship together, which is rare for the military. I cannot even imagine what they are feeling right now. I just hope they and their families find strength and peace in knowing that their son won't have to suffer anymore and they won't have to stand by and watch it happen. You will never be forgotten and you will always be loved Hayden: 12/16/06-12/27/10. He had just turned 4 years old.
Today nothing is planned. Mr is sick and has quarters, training and then a watch board for work later this morning/afternoon. He worked last night. I hope he is feeling better soon...whatever he has I really hope we don't get. He had a low-grade fever when he got home and said his joints ached really badly and whenever he coughed his lower abdomin hurt. His throat isn't really sore but last night he said he had a lot of sinus pressure. I am going to call today and see if I can get him an appointment tomorrow since he's off work. So I may go to the store later this afternoon to pick up some gatorade, drinks and water but other than that I don't want to do much. I should get dishes done today too...but we'll see. I've been super tired still since Christmas, it seems like I can't catch up on sleep. When I am really tired I can't fall asleep and when I am unable to take a nap (ie-things to do) I am struggling to keep my eyes open! Of course the rainy weather we keep having doesn't help...

You look great for 30 weeks!!!
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry for your friends loss, I know they don't know me from the man in the moon but let them know that prayers are being said for them. I couldn't imagine going through a loss like that, I do believe it is my greatest fear.
Good luck not getting sick, the crud was passed around here last week and we have to go the in-laws this weekend after they just fought off the flu. Here is hoping we don't come home sick.
