2017 :: 50/52

Tuesday morning I had a midwife appointment. I got to have it with Nanette who delivered Trevor (I don't get to see her much) so that was fun! I love her! we chatted about some things and she gave me the go ahead to start working out 20-30 minutes a day as long as I take it easy and listen to my body because "i'm a little ahead of the schedule" in the weight gain department. :) so this week I focused more on veggies, less carbs & sugar, and working out which felt really good and I wasn't as out of breath or tired as I thought. after my appointment, I ran to the dollar store then home to pick up trevor so we could go to Jodi's to play before she left for volleyball convention on Wednesday. we ate lunch over there then home for nap which didn't happen until 330....

Wednesday I was crabby and had a headache so we didn't do a whole lot but played some games, colored, did crafts, watched a movie and after I got T up from his no nap we went outside and shoveled the driveway. Trevor was actually a big help this time, he went back and forth with me shoveling the whole driveway and sidewalk and actually cleared snow!

Thursday morning Trevor and I ran to the post office to mail our packages then went to the children's museum since they're pretty close together.

Friday morning Trevor and I drove up to mom's house; during naptime I went over and cleaned manda's house a bit. Friday night we hung out with nana and uncle.

Saturday morning mom, Trevor and I went to our annual winter wonderland in oakdale with our friends: manda, eva, elouise, meg, skye, ty, summer, matt, kunde, gwenie, and Jordy. it was meg, her kids, and my 8th year going, 7th for manda and her girls. we saw santa, ate donuts, pet the puppies & other animals, made smores at the bonfire, went on the horse drawn wagon ride, and did the candy cane hunt. it was lots of fun and not too busy! then we had lunch and mom's before driving home. trevor and I didn't sleep well at mom's house the night before, both awake from 330-5am so we took naps once we got home. then started having some stuffed up noses and dry throats (sinus stuff I think) that lasted for a few days.

Al had Saturday and sunday off. sunday I didn't feel great so Al played with trevor while I got my last Christmas errands done and then napped a bunch. trevor didn't nap and we all went over to matt & Jodi's house for a delicious supper and hanging with our friends. then home for an early bed time; T woke up a few times throughout the night needing to blow his nose & drink some water to help the dry cough.

Monday once we were awake and upright for a bit, we were less stuffy & coughy, so we went over to Jodi's to play all morning.

 all the kiddos (minus lil Jordy)

 the crew

 I have trouble waiting for him to open his presents, 

so we let him open one from auntie molly

(plus then he gets time to play with each one)

 he got to open one from us on sunday too (a bigger, harder puzzle)

a pow wow with chloe and kade :)

30 weeks along this week, only 70 days left; crazy! next week will be single digit weeks left and in my 8th month. it's coming so fast! I slept so much better this week until I got the sinus stuff, less uncomfortable and less heartburn (Nan told me about an over the counter heartburn medicine I can take!) Feeling huge this week and ready to be done being pregnant (which is about word for word what I wrote for this week when preggo with Trevor :]).
