Recent Doctors Appointment

So Friday I had a routine doctor's appointment. I have been having this terrible pain every once in a while that just doubles me over and I can't straighten up until it passes. I guess it's a cramp of sorts. The first time I had it I worried a bit but let it pass. Well I had it a couple times after that and then night before my doctor's visit I had it again. I looked at Dwayne and told him I think it must be the way McKinley's laying or that he throws a hand in the wrong spot at that particular moment. He wanted me to ask the doctor or nurse just in case. So we're at the office and it had actually slipped my mind and Dwayne said uh-huh in the way hubby's do and I was like oh yeah! I told the nurse about the pain and she chuckled. She went into this whole thing about how expectant mothers worry like crazy over every thing and that we suffer pregnancy brain. She assured Dwayne that my mind would eventually come back. She was quite comical in her explaination of things she could help me with and things that well she just couldn't. I chuckled and told her I'd figured he was laying weird or something and she said yep that'd be the cause. I'm forunate that I've never been one to go to worst case scenarios and usually just roll with it. Of course, maybe someday that will kick me in the butt. I am happy to report that the pregnancy is going wonderfully!! So far I continue to lose weight which I get questioned about each visit. Are you throwing up? Are you eating 6 meals a day? And so on. I am not throwing up nor am I eating 6 meals a day. I eat the normal 3 and then snack a bit and by no means are they all healthy meals. My thought is this might just be one big baby boy!! I'm getting excited as a couple of my dear friends plan one of a couple showers we'll have up this way. I had it all planned out in my mind months ago! I'm not one for planning but I got this one. I'm really looking forward to some of the neat tidbits and advice the ladies will have for me and McKinley. Of course, I've not always been one to go with popular demand, beliefs or advice. I tend to march to my own beat and I like it that way! Thank you all for going on this journey with me or shall I say us. I can't wait to welcome this little one or big guy into the world!! We are going out of town after I get off work on September 4th and I keep telling Dwayne it'll be 3 months until the due date when we leave here for TN. I can't believe it!!! Yet I'm so excited that soon I will be kissing toes and rubbing noses. I have photo shoots planned out in my mind and all that jazz. We even talked about our Christmas card this year already!!
