Baby Birthday Ticker Ticker

2018 :: 5/52

Tuesday morning I had my now weekly midwife appointment and Al was off Tuesday & Wednesday, worked Thursday & Friday and then off for 6 days for Trevor's birthday and just his days off. they start 12 hours shifts and new rotation on February 11th. Al will be working 6p-6a but he has every other weekend off (Friday-Sunday) and only works 3 or 4 days a week. it'll be an adjustment but hopefully a good one. not much at my midwife appointment except that I have group b strep so will need antibiotics once I go into labor and need it to be in me at least 4 hours before the baby is born in order to be effective (it's a fine bacteria for me but can be harmful for the baby to get). so now we gotta hope for not a super fast labor.

Trevor has been in a very dadda mood lately so he and Al played together most of Tuesday & Wednesday while I got all but 3 things done off my long to do list and cleaned the house for Trevor's birthday parties. Trevor also has still been napping well the beginning of this week but has been waking up in the early morning calling for us or wanting to get up which leads to little sleep for me since i'm typically awake from 3-5a.

Tuesday night we went to the neighb's for supper; matt made tator tot hotdish, we brought biscuits and salad, and sue and roger brought dessert.

Wednesday morning Al and Trevor shoveled the 2-3 inches of snow we got and played outside for almost 2 hours (it was nice and sunny out and got cold again for the weekend).

Thursday morning, Trevor and I headed up to the cities and drove right up to our chiropractor for our free birthday month adjustments. then we went to nana's house for lunch. Trevor didn't nap so I got him up at 330 and at 4 we left to go to shane & Jodi's house to play and for supper. it was kinda crazy with the 3 boys (trevor, luke and Henrik) but we had fun. then back to nana's and right to bed.

Friday morning we went to the big children's museum in st paul with cousins ruby, tula, and etta (and tula's friend Lulu) and their momma's for a little extra fun for T's birthday. it was lots of fun and had lots to do. we then had lunch with them before heading back to eau Claire. trevor didn't nap on the drive home but did nap once we got home. mom came down after nap and we played at home until bedtime.

Saturday morning we had trevor's friend birthday party at high roller which is a skating rink but we went for the indoor playground area and mini arcade. it was lots of fun and went so fast! the indoor park was super cool and trevor got to actually play arcades games for the first time! he got to pick out toys/candy with his earned tickets, then we had pizza, cupcakes and opened presents. the attendees were Al, Trevor, me, mom, Jodi, cam, chloe, jenny, kyle, kali, kourtlyn, klare, Kassie, kade, Kinsley, leah, cole, and elise. Trevor had tons of fun. it snowed almost all day Saturday and we got 3-4 inches.

during nap, I went and got a pedicure with jodi; it was wonderful and much needed! after nap, Al, mom and Trevor went outside and shoveled. then Al and I went out to dinner with matt, Jodi, jenny, kyle, jake and Kassie for Jodi and my brithdays (Jodi's is the day after mine). we went to a fancier place, johnny's steakhouse, and it was DELICIOUS!! then home and matt and Jodi came to hang out for a bit too.

sunday morning we had birthday donuts for breakfast and got ready for trevor's last, family party. grandpa peter and auntie althea came from Wausau, and grandpa neil and unc-o came from the cities. it was lots of fun and Trevor had so many presents he pretty much spent the whole time opening and playing with his presents. :) we had a taco bar and then ate the cake auntie althea made; it was delicious. then everyone headed out and we had nap time. after nap (T didn't fall asleep til almost 330) we went over to matt & Jodi's for a little super bowl party. jake & Kassie + kids, Emily, joe, graham, sue & roger, Maggie, Sydney, and a couple others we didn't know were there. it was nice and laid back and everyone brought appetizers. we stayed until almost 8 then home to get trevor to bed and watch the rest of the game.

Monday Al was still off (he's on a 6 day off stretch) so we just got little things done around the house, played with some of trevor's new toys, had lunch, then I napped for an hour and Trevor fell asleep at 1 and slept for 2 hours!!!! once awake, Al and Trevor went outside to shovel the back patio and play for a bit even though it was pretty cold with the wind chill.

this weekend was super busy and brought about lots of hip aches and now pubic bone pain (same as this week with trevor, though). I get really sore by the end of the day now especially if it sit in hard, very upright chairs too much (like in the dining room or at a restaurant). i'm pretty slow at the end of the day. :) whelp, we made it past my goal of not having another baby on my/our birthday!!! now the anxious anticipation of when she'll come and how.... yikes! gotta keep reading my ina may book so I can stay calm about labor and delivery. we probly won't be leaving eau Claire again now until she comes.
