Wow, I'm doing a really poor job of keeping the old blog up. I'm now 30 weeks pregnant. In the last week or so I've become extremely limited as far as doing much of anything. I have a hard time catching my breath, and can't ever seem to get comfortable, even with a million pillows. I was exercising almost every day, but I've had to slow that down. Last week I saw a cardiologist for the first time. I had a particularly embarrassing episode at the endocrinologist that triggered it. Since the beginning, I've been feeling lightheaded a lot, but they said it was normal. I had a particularly bad episode at his office, and he insisted that I get it checked out. I have a feeling at least part of it is due to panic attacks, but we have to be sure. They gave me a monitor to wear for the next couple of weeks, to record all of the "incidents". I'm supposed to wear it all the time except in the shower. The problem with that is that the pads have given me a horrible rash, so I'm wearing it a little less than all the time. But, hopefully they'll find nothing wrong so I can go back to having one specialist. In addition, my right hip hurts pretty much all the time. I'm hoping that a coupon for a massage will drop out of the sky at some point haha. I've also been having some pain when she moves around, and sometimes when I walk, so the nurse at my OB's office told me to rest over the weekend. At first I was bummed out, because I was hoping we could trim our unruly bushes and plant some flowers in the front yard, but it turned out that the weather didn't cooperate anyway. I've been doing a fairly good job of keeping up with the housework, with a few notable exceptions. There are some organizational projects that we didn't get to last month that I need to finish up. And, the biggest exception is the kitchen. I swear, I just suck at dishes. No matter what I do, I just can't seem to motivate myself to keep up with them. But, even that problem is improving, slowly but surely. The nursery is coming along nicely, we just have to hang stuff on the walls, pick up the mattress, and repaint the doors. I'll put some pictures up when it's closer to done. I went with Pink Sea Salt on the walls, which is a white color with just a hint of pink, and Sharkey Grey on the trim. In the living room, I picked a light yellow called Macadamia. We still have to paint some of the trim in the living room and finish 4 doors, but it looks so much better all ready. That leaves us with only two rooms to go downstairs, the kitchen and our bedroom. Our bedroom shouldn't require too much work, but the kitchen is certainly a different story. It will be a while before we tackle that. Other than that, there isn't a lot going on. I took Harlock to the vet today to get her Lyme booster shot. They said she's very healthy, but the shot has left her so sore, she's having trouble getting around. She's acting a lot like me haha. But, that's supposed to pass. We started our childbirth classes last week. Jason was predictably enthusiastic haha, but I found some of the information to be encouraging, mainly about hospital policies, like encouraging position changes/ walking around. We have 3 more 2 and a half hour classes to go. Next month I'm taking a breastfeeding class. I'm nervous because I really want to breastfeed, but I'm afraid that I'm not going to be able to get the hang of it. Things are starting to move pretty fast, we're supposed to pre-register at the hospital, pick a pediatrician, and pack our hospital bags as soon as possible. It's all pretty overwhelming, but I'm sure we'll get it all taken care of.
