Today is May 1st....Andy will be here on the 18th! Soooo....17 days and counting!
Here is a picture of me (looking like some kind of a mess!) in the boys' bathroom-- yes, it is that green! This will be a little sneak peek for the tour of the bathroom...which is becoming one of my favorite rooms of the house! If you can't be loud and crazy with colors in a boys' bathroom, where can you?!?!
This was taken today, but it could really be any day...I am living in workout shorts and crummy tanktops/t-shirts with my hair in some kind of a messy thing on the back of my head. Cute, huh? Whatever, I am hard at work!
This is almost 37 weeks-- I'll be 37 weeks on Wednesday. Andy is moving a ton, and now that I know he's breech, things make a LOT more sense to me-- the big hard thing I feel going into my rib cage is not a foot (or a bum, like I thought), but instead, his little head! And I feel him kicking like crazy right now...down low, so it's not his head banging against me over and over again, like I thought it was....! ha!
Last night I woke up with KILLER heart burn. I have never had heart burn in my life. This was AWFUL. It felt like someone poured acid down my throat, and with every inhale and exhale, they added more. It hurt to breathe and swallow and really do anything. Since I've never had to deal with this before, I had no idea how to make it go away. This is really pathetic, but I remembered some commercial on TV where the guy sleeps sitting up to make the pain go away-- now, for all I know, this commercial was for constipation, I have no idea-- but in the middle of the night, I thought it was a great idea to try! I propped pillows all around me and tried to sort of sit myself up...well, Andy didn't really like that very much-- I don't think it gave him enough room (my ribs were ramming his head, I guess), so it didn't last very long.
And on another note-- Cal Boy has not slept through the night since we moved. Sigh. He has grown attached to this one paci-- he can only use pacis in the car and in the crib, and he has a favorite for both spots-- and when he loses it in the night, he freaks out and screams until he passes out, only to wake up again shortly, or until we come in and give it to him. I've been doing the latter. And it's wearing me out.
I am so so so soooooooo ready to drop the paci all together, but I know it's a horrible thing to do to a kid right before his world gets rocked with a sibling. I don't want to clip it to him because I am afraid he would choke himself or, since he sleeps on his belly, the clip would irritate his skin or wake him up. Everyone says to limit the amount of changes in a kid's life before the arrival of a sibling. I think we have reached our "change" limit with the new house, new car, etc, etc...
Just a little vent about the paci...I will suck it up (no pun intended: ha!) and let him keep it since he will need that with all the excitement coming his way, but for the record, let me just say I am OVER it!
Looking forward to my next appointment, on Wednesday, to see if Andy has grown more!
