Wow, three weeks since my last post--that means exactly what you might suspect--we've been busy! Since I last wrote, here are the major things that come to mind that have happened:
1. Late mother's day celebration. your grandmas were not able to come for what was the actual weekend of mother's day, so we just waited until 2 weeks later when they were able to be with us. They both remarked about how big my belly is/how pregnant I look, and I told them about how you are moving all the time, causing me to make funny faces and sounds as you insist on riding as low as possible. We all had a great time together--got a new bed put together for the guest room, ate some great meals, the moms (and mom to be (me)) got mani/pedis and massages, and laughed a lot together as always. Grandma J bought us your stroller as an early shower gift, too! Grandma L and her husband are making you a crib, but it's not ready yet. Daddy bought me/us a rocking chair to help nurse and put you to sleep. Your room is getting full!
2. I had another checkup appointment for the pregnancy. Was told that you are still right on track, got to hear your heartbeat (love that sound!) and my measurements are where they are supposed to be--all good news. We go back in 4 weeks for a gestational diabetes screening.
3. My tutoring and homeschooling kept me very occupied, but that is quite normal. Unfortunately, I hit a big snag this Sunday when the mom of the homeschool kids decided she wants to find something else :( This made me mad, sad, frustrated and disappointed. But as I will tell you many times and I am sure is true now, this happened for a reason; I may never know exactly why, but I'll move on and find the next step in the path. Very important to remain positive-minded!
4. I went garage sale-ing to find lots of great bargains to help with your arrival. I got tons of clothing in many sizes, some toys and other stuff. Also searched for and got a pack-n-play from a nice family on craigslist.
That's all for the events section, at least all I can think of for the moment. You are currently moving around like crazy this evening, and seem to be getting more active each day. Your favorite thing now seems to be kicking me just behind my right hip bone, in a way that is rather ticklish for me :) No matter what it does to me, I love feeling your movements and cannot wait to meet you! Just 15 more weeks (approximately)...
