Here I am, my fifth Saturday in a row sitting at the vet with our problem dog because one of her paws looks infected. She probably chewed on it or stepped on something but it looks nasty. I love this dog to pieces but this was not really how I wanted to spend my Saturday morning. Oh well I'm overprotective doggy mama so I'll do pretty much anything for my dogs.
We are getting a new sliding glass door installed today and I'm so excited. It is the last big inside home project to get done and I'm glad it'll be done before baby comes.
H's fever FINALLY broke last night after being up around 103 for the past week. I think he's on the mend and now I'm spending the weekend trying to catch up on my grades and clean/disinfect the whole house. It's nice and warm so I've got all the windows open to air everything out.
My working goal today is to grade everything I'm behind on and get all plans set up for the end of the school year. Finals are the second week of June so I'm almost there! The woman they are thinking of hiring to be my maternity sub is coming in Thursday for a sample lesson so I need to contact her and let her know what I need covered.
Since it's so nice I think I'll go for a long walk today and get moving. I've been working out at the gym at work but it's mostly squats and lifting. I need more cardio.
hokiegirl82 - We just dealt with a similar problem with our dog and his paw. I felt so bad for him - he looked so pathetic with it and I know it was hurting him. It took a bit but he recovered just fine. Hope its nothing for you!
Not much going on in the Toutsuite household. DH is doing work around the house today and then we have a dinner party tonight. Should be interesting because food is not appealing to me right now. Tomorrow morning we have a fund raiser to go to for the adoption agency where we got our dog - I'm nervous we will come home with another.
While food itself is not appealing - an exception can be made for donuts. I really want one.
hokiegirl82 hope your pup is okay! I'm an overprotective doggy mommy too.
I slept from 9:30-6:30, and I'm so exhausted that I made a second latte (we have a machine and they're pretty weak). I've been very nervous about this pregnancy, so I'm a weirdo and welcomed my first wave of nausea this morning. And then promptly took B6 lol.

Sorry about your dog but good news about finishing up home projects! How exciting.
I'm feeling sort of the equivalent to a panic hangover from yesterday's posts freaking out about spotting and the call to the doctor. Like I don't want to look you guys in the eyes after being overly crazy about it. Sorry if I made anyone's eyes roll too hard! I am feeling better about it now as more time has passed without spotting. If the weekend continues this way, I will probably call to talk to the nurse again and possibly cancel the appointment for Monday (assuming I continue to see little/no spotting).
I'm starting to look around our relatively small apartment (2br 990 sqft) and figure out what to get out of here to make room for baby.
My mom flies in today for brother's graduation! I wish it weren't too early to tell her.

kaybee85 don't worry a minute over that! We're not medical professionals, and there are just so many reasons you could have spotting, that IMO it's best to call your doctor to see if they're concerned.

Mushe - I did it. A butternut donut from DD never tasted so good. I have to be careful though because the only things I can even consider ingesting at this point are carbs or are bad for me. I lost weight before this go-around and am trying to be good so I don't gain it back quickly. I feel like I have already gained a second ass. Oh well - if it means a baby at the end of all this, I'll take it!
I'm sitting in bed enjoying a big cup of coffee while DH does my farm chores. I slept 9 hrs last night you guys! I feel like a new woman, after only getting a couple hours the last few nights due to restless legs and the baby moving.
Here's a funny pregnancy story for you - this is the joy of being full-term:
I woke up at 5am and had to go to the bathroom really bad. As soon as I moved, both my legs got Charlie Horses simultaneously (which I've been getting more since pregnant). So I'm writhing in pain massaging my calves desperately. Then as soon as I could, I hop out of bed and try to run down the stairs to the bathroom before I pee my pants. But my legs are still cramping so I'm CRABHOPPING SIDEWAYS down the stairs, huge pregnant belly, about to pee my pants. I just started laughing SOOO hard at myself. I must have looked hilarious. DH woke up and was like "what the hell is going on?! It's 5 am!" Laughing, crabhopping, peeing my pants, 9 mo pregnant. What a sight.

That sounds wonderful!
I ended up getting a blueberry and cream cheese stuffed croissant at the farmers market for #1. Yeah, for him. He didn't even want to try it after picking it out, so I ate the whole thing. Yikes. I'm down 15lbs and 3 sizes from my #1 pre-pg weight, and I'm scared to gain it back.

Thanks for the well wishes for the dog ... She is always a mess health wise because of her allergies but we do what we can for her.
The vet said it didn't look like she stepped on anything big because her paw wasn't perforated but she could have been stung by something or had a stick scrap her foot and she was licking it which made it way worse, or she is licking it due to her allergies. For now we just have to soak her foot in Epsom salt for the next few days and then she has an appointment with her dermatologist on Wednesday where he can look at her foot more closely if it isn't getting better by then.
I had to cut my walk in the park short today because the wind was hurting my nipples too much. I've made it 22 weeks without any boob sensitivity, pain, or growth so I was caught off guard. H's hand grazed them in his sleep and I almost jumped out of my skin.

I'm liking the blueberry and cream cheese stuffed croissant not the part where you are scared to gain weight back. THAT, I totally get. I'm so bloated I am already wearing my bigger sized pants even though I went down two sizes in between my m/c in January and now. I can't wait for summer to come where I'll be able to live in maxi dresses without feeling constricted for a few months.
We had a just for fun 3D ultrasound today that my parents made a special trip for, but baby did not cooperate. she was all curled into a tight ball napping so we couldn't get a good look. We get another try for free next week but it sucks that my parents won't be there. I did find out that she's breech so the lump above my belly button that I thought might be her butt is really her head. She was holding onto the cord and kind of squeezing it. The tech said she sees that a lot, that since it pulsates the babies like to hold onto it. Hopefully she'll flip around soon and we'll get better shots next time.

I hope the bloat eases up! Mine hasn't been that bad so far, but I know it's coming.

Dd asked me when I'm going to get pregnant again. Then she asked me if I could make it a girl baby this time.
Ha! H's brother's wife is pregnant (due a month ahead of me) and they did a gender reveal party. Our niece, who's 6, and the only girl grandchild out of 3, had her heart set on a girl (cousin). When they revealed that it was a boy her heart dropped and it was written ALL over her face. Poor thing, it was so funny. Then the pressure was on for me to have a girl. When my H told her it was a girl she apparently went crazy and "partied" for two hours. She's a touch dramatic.
We did our second practise run to the hospital today. DH tried a different route and we learnt which roads to definitely avoid. It's early to be doing the practise run and working out the route, but we live in a seaside, holiday town, as summer gets here so do the tourists and the town gets very busy. We have managed to cut down the route from 1 hour to 45 minutes, thankfully. We also looked at the parking situation at the maternity hospital as the last time we were there was when DS was born.
