Lots of things to report :
(1) I developed some kind of weird itching thing last week that was a tad bit annoying. I didn't itch on my stomach but on my legs, arms, and behind my ears - and only at night. A cool shower helped but we still were unable to sleep Wednesday night (it wasn't just the itching - for some reason I just couldn't get comfortable).
(2) Friday (10/07/2011) I had a doctor's appointment. I mentioned the itching to the midwife and she was a little concerned so she wanted me to report after the weekend if I was still itching because they would want to draw blood and test for certain things (thankfully I haven't itched since Friday so no worries). At this appointment I weighed 154 which means that I have gained a total of 27ish pounds as I was between 125 and 127 at my first appointment. The midwife is very happy about this weight gain and says that I "look great." My blood pressue continues to be perfect and your heartbeat is also strong and "sounds good." This was the last monthly appointment - we now have to go to the doctor's every two weeks until some point in November when we start going weekly. I can't believe that you will arrive in 8 weeks!!!
(3) Saturday (10/08/2011) I primed all the woodwork in your room. It took a LONG time because there is not only a lot of woodwork but I also had to take a lot of breaks. But I got both coats of prime on by the end of the night which meant that the room would be ready for paint on Monday.
(4) Sunday (10/09/2011) we drove down to Auntie Ana and Uncle Gordon's house to meet Little Gordon. He was just adorable and oh so very tiny. I doubt you will be that small but I can't wait to hold you like I held him. He fell alseep on my chest with his little legs resting on my belly - right near where your little feet are so it was almost as if you were touching. After he fell alseep I put him in his little swing and we visited for a while longer before heading to the mall to purchase some items for you.
Yesterday (Columbus Holiday) I spent the day once more in your nursery crawling around painting all the woodwork. But the task is done and it is my hope that we can wash and wax the floors tonight and start moving your furniture in tomorrow!!! As we start birth classes this week we have one less night each week for the next four weeks in which to get things done. And, with you coming in only 8 short weeks I feel the need to restore my house to what it used to look like (before all your boxes of things arrived) as soon as I can!!!
