So, once again, I forgot I have a blog. I really need to do this and it's been wayyyyyy too long since I've blogged. I'm 31 weeks pregnant. I'm having a boy and I think he'll be names Braxton Christopher Hansen. Brook was pretty disappointed it wasn't a girl but she said "she'd still love it." LOL! Braden is excited to have a little brother. It really hasn't hit me that I'll have a third child. I'm sure it will when he is born. I have only gained about 4 lbs with this pregnancy and my body has even lost weight. Every pregnancy is so different. I gained 65 lbs with Braden and 24 with Brooklyn. Of course my back hurt with the others and I had pregnancy woes, but this pregnancy has been really hard on my body. Go figure. The doctor said it's just the way my uterus is sitting. It's on the veins in my right leg and I've gotten varicose veins in that leg. They hurt!! I had no idea they could hurt. So I've had sleeping problems because I've gotten restless legs and have to take ambien to sleep every night. I didn't for one night and I was up til 5:00am trying to sleep. The restless legs should go away when the varicose veins go down. I hate admitting this part, but I'm only human so here goes. About 3-4 weeks ago I got really depressed and anxious. The doctor said it's hormones and I shouldn't feel embarassed. He put me on Prozac. I'm ok with it now and realize it's not my fault. It's been about 3 weeks and I'm feeling a lot better now. Then, about a little over a week ago, I developed a blood clot in my right leg. It hurt and I've had to keep it elevated and put heat on it. I've also had to start wearing my sexy (LOL) compression stockings every single day. They suck!! LOL. I can tell a difference when I don't wear them so I'm being a good girl. My ward has been great and brought us meals last weekend. It was sooooo helpful! My wonderful mom came out and cleaned my bathrooms and mopped my floors. She calls or texts me all the time too. I've really greatful for my family and friends. My hubby has also pitched in around the house more lately too. All in all, I'm learning how to ask for help when I need it. I think I really needed to learn that, instead of always trying to do things myself. I get very disorganized with life and then I end up procrastinating things, which makes me chaos. I am learning though. This blogging stuff is kinda theraputic. It's like talking to someone without them talking back. Getting all your feelings and thoughts out. Maybe I could do this more. LOL. Anyway, time for bed before I fall over. I have a new niece to blog about tomorrow. She's beautiful and I adore her so much! Night!
