So, I just realized that it's been more than a month since my last post. One of my doctors said at my last appointment that this is the boring part of pregnancy. That was three weeks ago and until this week, he was right. But things are starting to get busy and there has been a little more going on. I suffered through a stomach virus over this past weekend (Brian felt completely helpless!). I'll spare you all the details, but leave it at - I didn't eat for two days and have developed a taste for red gatorade. This virus came with another - an ear infection. So, I'm popping tylenol and hoping I don't have to resort to antibiotics. I've been to the OB and the family practitioner this week and have another OB appointment - a regular one, tomorrow.
I've been going to a prenatal yoga class once a week and am really enjoying it. There are about 8 of us there on any given day and all of us are due within 1 week of each other - pretty cool to compare notes. I feel like I'm lagging behind though. One of them told me I was so "tiny" compared to them. That was a first - I've never been called tiny in my life! You'd think I'd feel good about it, but everyone tells me that I don't look 8 months pregnant. It's a little unnerving and makes me worry that the little monkey isn't keeping up. But what she doesn't do in size, she certainly makes up for in gymnastics! This girl can move! It's not uncommon for my entire belly to ripple or jump particularly when Brian and I are watching television (and since we live in 24 hour sports world, that's a lot!).
The nursery should be almost complete next weekend. I've drawn the mural on the wall and am waiting for my mom to come next weekend to paint. I can't wait to see the final product. The furniture is there. I STILL need to do the window treatments and we are waiting on a big stuffed chair that we ordered a few weeks ago. Brian will be on a 4 day golf trip in Myrtle Beach - the bachelor weekend revisited, so Mom and I will have to take advantage.
We have an Infant CPR class tonight and then Childbirth class tomorrow night and Saturday. I've been reading too much again and am having vivid dreams about the baby and delivery, so I'm sure the classes will add to the content of those dreams. Only 8 more weeks until she arrives!
