Changes

We have 3 hamsters here. One is mine, Drzewo (Dray-vo), one is Travis', Ninja, and one is Chelsea's, Chewbacca. Night before last I went to bed and was putting food in their cages, since they get up at nighttime. Normally, I try to gently wake them up to check on them if they are in their little hoard homes. Well, Drzewo and Chewbacca were both up and running around. Ninja was in his little home and so I rubbed the top of it to make some noise and wake him up. He didn't move, so I tapped on it. Still no movement. I called in Travis and told him I think his hamster is dead. He wasn't really worried because sometimes we put him in the ball to run and he falls asleep, hard. We can push him over and he just flops and then comes around like guys, I was asleep! Travis took apart his house and poked him, no movement, and pushed him over. He had passed. :(

I was not a fan of Ninja since he bit me; but I didn't want the little guy dead! He was an angry hamster, not very friendly and always on edge. Hamster's always have designated potty spots, and Ninja peed all over his cage and tubes. We think he must have been sick from when we got him. Since it was so late, we just let him stay in his cage and got up and took him to my dad's in the morning to bury him next to my childhood hamsters.

I spent the day at my dad's and I do believe he is ready to skip town and move out of his house. Which is awesome for us because he will be letting us have his house! We will have a nursery and two bathrooms and a yard and a garage! I'm rather excited. I hope he really is ready because I don't want to get my hopes up and then be stuck here in the apartment.

We haven't even bought anything for Roghan, so it would be an easy move right now. And I have no idea if this previa will clear up, because if it doesn't I know I will stuck on bed-rest in about two months. I told my dad that the pressure is on... If he wants to move out of state, he needs to do it now before it's not an option anymore. Because I will not be moving with a newborn. Especially since we will have to completely overhaul my old bedroom into the nursery as soon as we get there. Let's hope it all works out!

My Belly

I believe has finally popped!! I got my first comment from someone who didn't know me today. It was sooo nice to not feel huge and know that others are starting to see me as pregnant and not like a fattie! This is what I was wearing when someone noticed at my work.

I have a feeling I'm going to look like I'm carrying multiples in there, but it's just little Roghan! I was hoping for twins, but he will be just perfect by himself.

I also had a VERY blonde day. It made for a hilarious way to spend the day. I did everything from forgetting my phone to forgetting the time and suddenly not realizing that it was time for work! I was just a complete idiot but I had a blast! It was a really happy day, a nice change from being upset about my body being so highly out of shape and not feeling pregnant.

Me and Travis also went out for a "date night". We looked at pregnancy and childbirthing books at the bookstore and I found one with the Bradley method (I think that's what it was called) that I really want to get. But with the possibility of not being able to have a natural childbirth, we will be waiting to get it until I am 28 weeks and find out if I'm going to be forced into a cesarean from my partial previa. Let's hope it does clear up so I can be alert and move around and not drug up Ro-ro!

After the bookstore we went to Lyon's, and once again my eyes proved larger than my tummy... I brought home basically all of my order. Roghan is just stealing all my space in there! I love that I have an appetite again but it sucks not being able to do anything about it...

Next we got his haircut, he seriously looked like Shaggy from Scooby-Doo, and now he looks much better. ;) And now his boss will stop harassing him about looking so unprofessional and hopefully his work days will be a little less stressful now.

I need to go to bed now though, soo tired from being on my feet for most of the day!

I Just Can't Wait

But I'm going to have to! I just found out on Friday the little one in my belly is a boy! See picture above, sorry for the blurryness! We're going to be naming him Roghan and I just want him here, right now. Then I can stop worrying about this pregnancy! I guess I'm considered high risk due to a low placenta, partial previa and my asthma. I have also heard stories about miscarriages and I am a paranoid person, so it's not helping! I'm trying to stay optimistic and remind myself people with much more complicated medical issues have gone on to have perfectly healthy babies.

I just decided to jump in to this blogging experience. No intro or background, you'll pick it up as we go. I am going to try to post every day, bear with me ok?
