this weekend i didn't do much, and it was great! we had plans to run into eau claire saturday morning for the carseat check before al had to work, but it was snowing so we decided against it (there is a carseat technician here in bloomer, so we'll schedule a time to meet with her). and i was planning to go to the cities saturday afternoon to see mom and finish up christmas shopping, but with the snow and being tired, i decided against that too. i did go into bloomer on saturday once but otherwise didn't leave the house. :)
then monday was work, my midwife appointment (they seem silly these days: i go in, get weighed, blood pressure, they ask if i have any questions, listen to heartbeat, measure uterus, then done. but i'm sure it's good to have checkups just to be sure), then home to study for my final. the midwife was able to tell with some confidence that baby ole's head is down (that explains all the pressure & hardness down there) and he's mostly on my right side (must be his back). since my appointments are on odd weeks, i'll wait 3 weeks now for my next one to get on even weeks (which appeases this numbers person!).
tuesday was my final. it went ok; better than i expected but still hard. now we wait and see. but i'm SO happy to be done with school and homework and studying. it's going to be great coming home and not having that to do. but i have a bunch of cleaning and stuff around the house i've been putting off to catch up on.
countdown to christmas is on!
How big is baby: size of a pineapple (via the bump) or a bunch of asparagus (via my app); approximately 16.2 inches and 3.3 pounds; crazy!!
Weight gain/loss: 18-23 pounds
Stretch marks: just the one on my side
Sleep: still flip flop a lot but sleeping well (hopefully this little guy is learning to sleep well too :])
Diet/Cravings/Aversions: nothing really, my apple a day has turned into an orange a day
Movement: movement daily, felt hiccups for the 2nd time and they were longer this time.
What I'm loving: school being done, christmas cookies :)
Symptoms: heartburn or reflux (amazingly monday-thursday i had absolutely no heartburn; awesome!! let's hope this continues), and hip aches, return of some round ligament pain/pressure
What I'm looking forward to: christmas, short work weeks
Best moment of the week: school getting done (can you tell i'm relieved?) :) secret santa at work
How I'm feeling: feeling pretty good. i've been really tired this week, like beyond normal tired; wanting to sleep all the time after noon and tired while driving.
