saturday i went up to the cities and mom and i ran to bellies to babies, a consignment shop, where i got 2 pair of maternity jeans for $12 each. much better than the $35 pairs i had tried on and not liked at old navy. i also got a massage from malia. then saturday night was the beaver liquor end of the year softball party at matt & kunde's. it was so good to see and hang out with friends again. it was a wonderful time! and i stayed up til midnight; which was impressive until i didn't get all the sleep i'm used to on the weekends. :)
sunday i headed home early since al was off. we got some things done around the house, watched football, napped, i started some crafts. it was a good day.
i'm so ready for a short, thanksgiving week. 3 days of work, 1 day of school. then only 2 full weeks of school left!
oh and i passed the gestational diabetes test with flying colors!
i also had my first dream with baby ole in it. not much happened, just held him and attempted to breastfeed. oh and i couldn't remember labor/delivery or even being in the hospital; it was great :)
in other firsts, i had my first, um, leakage this week (a small spot on my pj shirt when i woke) and had my first huge cramp. i've not gotten much for cramps, other than of the feminine kind, prior to being pregnant so this calf cramp nearly killed me. :) it was at 2 am and as i cried out loudly in pain (while my very attentive husband continued sawing logs :]) i tried to remember what i'd heard others say to rid the cramp. i massaged it, tried to move my foot/leg, but it wasn't helping. so finally i threw back the covers, swung my legs off the bed and pushed my foot flat on the floor; instant relief. my calf was sore for half a day after that. and good to know that if i go into labor and am crying out in pain my husband will sleep right thru it...
we have his changing table and dresser just about finished. here's a before and after of both although i forgot to get a before of the dresser with the drawers in it. they are now gray although with the lighting in the basement, the changing table kind of looks blue in the picture. al carried the dresser into his room and we figured out where we want to put the crib and such. i loved getting to put stuff in his dresser; i love organizing! :)
How big is baby: size of a rutabaga (although the last 2 weeks were cauliflower & lettuce, and i think a rutabaga is smaller than both those??)
Weight gain/loss: 12-15 pounds (midwife told me they wouldn't worry if i didn't gain anymore weight...)
Stretch marks: none
Sleep: sleeping ok. flip flopping a lot, some uncomfortable times, wake up multiple times.
Diet/Cravings/Aversions: nothing much. trying to decrease the amount of sugar intake.
Movement: feeling movement daily; but feeling less then i was.
What I'm loving: tuesdays at home when al's off.
Symptoms: feeling like i'm going to throw up when i bend over, mostly at night especially when getting into bed. and still heartburn just about daily at odd times; and i have yet to find any relief for it, tums don't even work. it's not bad heartburn more just annoying.
What I'm looking forward to: lefse day and thanksgiving week!
Best moment of the week: saturday night with friends!!
How I'm feeling: feeling a little more control in life, like there is less uncertainities, so that's good! ready for the holidays and school to be done for the semester.
