I couldn't be more excited to know that we are now in the double digits on our journey to meet Dreycin!! 99 days to go, doesnt seem like long but its actually 3months and 9days!! Yesterday afternoon I went for another prenatal massage and it is heaven, but often seems to fly by (maybe because i fall asleep). The coolest part is when Dreycin kind of, wakes up and starts going crazy kicking me which weirdly enough I love because it gives me reassurance he is in there strong as can be! Afterwards I got home and Derek and I were trying to decide what we were going to eat and the Pregnant woman (me) says how about golden corral.....well we went and I ate pretty much all protein i could get my hands on, a salad, and cottage cheese? didnt even get a dessert because i just kept eating steak.
on another note, for me it was a tough week once again with my lupus. my flare ups are usually the arthritis in the joints acting up and Wednesday night I broke down and took my first 5mg dose of steroid. I was in so much pain I was miserable. That night Derek had also gotten a call from one of his students reporting that his wife had a miscarriage in her last trimester. We dont know what happened, but I see it at the hospital all the time due to blood clots, preeclampsia, toxemia. So Derek basically got pretty firm with me and said "I need you to do what your doctor said so that we dont lose our baby." of course the moment was heated with all the emotions, but then I remembered once again what my doctor told me about going ahead and taking the steroids especially when my lupus is affecting me, because I have to remember it is also affecting the baby. So i took it at 8pm, and amazingly enough for the first time in a long time I woke up the next morning in no pain. the night before Derek had duty and I was at home in pain beyond belief with the heating pad on me and in bed the whole afternoon. If some of you reading the blog dont completely understand what lupus is read this

With me now almost 26 wks tomorrow, I am so relieved that I made the decision to go part time. I definitely feel better in that I can get some things done around the house without Derek doing ALOT of the housework. I have also had time to read, which I havent done since Graduate School, i think i was kind of burned out on reading from being in college straight for 6years. I just got done reading Mommywood by Tori Spelling and now im reading a book by emily giffin called Love the one your with (ive read all her books). I actually went a little nuts and went and bought a bunch of books off of amazon that i have been wanting to read, slowly ive gotten them in. One im really excited about is the Five Love languages of Children, Derek and I ready together the married version shortly after we were married and enjoyed it. so we are trying to read that one at night before we go to bed :)
