Nesting

Posted By: Karen B. 0 Comments

I woke up this morning and was just sick of how lax I have been with the housework. Everything had gone to the dogs and if I let it go much further, CPS would probably be on the doorstep. Well it wasn't quite THAT bad, but my over-emotional pregnant brain was telling me it was that bad. So before I even got downstairs, I cleaned the bathroom, cleaned the bedroom, tossed all the laundry down to get washed today, cleaned Ingrid's room, and picked up all my yarn in the guest room. Honestly, it wasn't all that hard to do that part. I need to remind myself of that on a daily basis.

I've been downstairs to deal with the laundry a few times now as well. I wish I could just get it all over at once. There is that nice thing about laundromats. You  can wash 5 loads at a time and have it done with. I sat down in Ingrid's play rom and folded clothes while I was waiting for the was to finish and then brought a couple of bags of it up each time I've come up. I made sure not to pack them too full. That's been my downfall previously, the too heavy laundry tote, plus the too heavy pregnant belly trying to make it up 2 flights of stairs without wanting to drop it all.

I'm still in the process of doing laundry today, and hoping that I actually get it done before I go to bed tonight. That was my goal for this day. I did say to Peter, "come hell or highwater, I'm getting the laundry done today."

I'm not having too much luck cleaning the main part of the house though. The kitchen is a mess. :( It's kind of pointless to clean the living room while Ingrid is awake anyway. Peter said he will do the dishes for me.

I guess the ultimate point is, if I don't get this stuff done now, it is not gonna get done, so I better get cracking.

 


What does a baby look like in utero?

We had an ultrasound yesterday and because I've got some more amniotic fluid than I should, they took some 4D photos of the little guy.

4D baby

Looks to me like he has a lot of black hair, and  a smirk. I get to go back in 2 weeks to see if my fluid levels are down. Upon researching the condition, sometimes levels fluctuate and it might have been mine was absolute highest when I was checked. He's showing bigger than they were expecting and so were worried I have gestational diabetes. I don't think I do, because my glucose test came back fine, but we'll see. I have been feeling dizzy lately.

I had to get bloodwork done today for my TSH levels. We'll see how that goes. I need to make an appointment with a new GP or with an endocrinologist.

Finally, since they expect I'm further along, I revised my own due date. Honestly, since I saw the first OB I knew I was due earier than they said. I know my body. And I think that if he showed as smaller earlier on, that was likely because MY thyroid and meds weren't supplying all that he needed.


Baby things

I forgot to mention, We got some very sweet baby things. Not only did Lance bring some clothes and diapers when he met with Peter last time, but Megan sent some super cute clothes along with the Christmas presents. I almost think I like little boy clothes better than little girl clothes. Bring on the trucks, dinosaurs, bears and out with the pink!
