2018 :: 2/52

Tuesday morning I had another midwife appointment and Al was still off work so he stayed home with Trevor. I have one more 2 week appointment then I go to every week; so crazy. only about 6 weeks left!! the appointment was good; I gained no weight (finally! thank goodness Christmas cookie season is over!), baby's heartbeat was high again 160 then went down to 150s, she's head down already hopefully she stays that way, and is facing sideways so we're hoping she faces back by labor time to try to avoid back labor this time! my blood pressure is still really good. next appointment will be my group b strep test and that's the last test before baby. i'm thinking they'll start checking me at appointments again too. after my appointment I ran some errands by myself including going to target! once I got home, Al and Trevor were playing outside since it was still 30s and nice out! so I joined them outside for a while and it was great!

Wednesday morning Trevor had his first dental appointment. he did great!! they kind of feel the kid out on the first appointment and don't always get everything or anything done, but they did everything they needed to with him! xrays, cleaning, polishing, exam with the dentist and he did great and even answered their questions! afterwards we came home and rode his bike around the neighborhood before it snowed and got cold again. Al worked overnight.

Thursday early morning it rained, then the temp dropped and then it started to snow shortly after we got up. we eventually got about 2.5 inches of snow, so after naptime (in which T didn't nap even after a rough morning, very 3 year old) and after 1 Trevor show, we went outside to shovel, bring in the garbage can/recycling bin, and get the mail. it was super windy and cold but we got it done (felt hard for me due to being 34 weeks pregnant). then in for supper, a movie and bed time.

Friday morning we went to the toddler time at the newly renovated water park here in town with Jodi, chloe, graham, robin, Amaya, jake, kade and Kinsley. it was so much fun, nice and warm and cheap! we'll definitely do that again! they had a big kid area and then a smaller 4 foot pool that had some lily pad things in one part which trevor loved jumping across them.

Friday night Al worked until 8 and brohmer came up about 730p. Saturday was Al (and Brohmer's) alumni track meet at noon. mom came down Saturday morning and we went to watch it. Al threw really well in both weight and shot put; better than he has in years! then we had a late lunch and Trevor napped 330-430. Al and Brohmer came home until their party at 7p and they stayed out til 230am.... Mom, Trevor and I stayed in and warmed up; it was freezing outside!

sunday mom left in the morning as it started snowing and didn't stop until Monday night. we watched the Vikings playoff game at home (brohmer left right before the game) and we snuck out a win!! it was a great ending!

Monday morning, Trevor and Al shoveled the driveway, ran to matt & Jodi's quick and then picked up lunch while I worked around the house and finished pricing/tagging all the consignment sale clothes of Trevor's that i'm going to sell! then during nap, Al got a call that his boss was on his way over to pick him up for his leadership training in the dells until Thursday.

I've been thankful that baby girl is still pretty high since I don't have to get up in the middle of the night to pee, but I feel like I can see that in this comparison picture. having to take my heartburn medicine every night, lower back is hurting when I wake up now, but still feeling pretty good. hit me hard to say we have 6 weeks left; that feels like no time at all... I have so much I want to do and don't know if i'm (or Trevor is) ready for 2 kids.

it's weird/cool to read about my pregnancy each week with trevor and compare; they're so similar! like I haven't wanted/craved ice cream much at all but this week had to have some and that's exactly what I said at 34 weeks with trevor. I started my hospital bag this week too same as with T.

I have my first, new stretch marks... they're small but there, ugh, was hoping for no new ones. I've been trying to remember to use my belly oil (from Al's cousin Jenny, she makes it) every day but sometimes forget.
