Just wanted to write something as I haven't in a really long time. We started seeing midwifes, had a second visit last week. We got a "prescription" for an ultrasound on the first visit, as I asked for it. But now DH doesn't want to go. He says that since we can't change anything, why expose ourselves to the stress again. I see his point so we decided not to go.
Haven't gained too much, still, which is nice. Up to 173 lbs from 156 lbs pre-pregnancy, for a total of 17 lbs as of last week. I have another 10 weeks or so, and P still needs to gain >>at least<< 3 lbs. I am hoping I won't get over 25 lbs gain.
We got the nursery painted (the base beige) the weekend before this and the crib is scheduled to come tomorrow. I am pretty excited. The dresser is next, then cubical shelves, and the glider will be last, arriving probably just before the baby. I still want to paint the orange and green stripes, perhaps in a couple of weeks. We decided to go the the beach the weekend after next, to show my niece the ocean (she is here, btw, and we are having a lot of fun).
Also, we finally got our blinds installed yesterday (yes, on the 4th of July). Unfortunately they messed up our order and the ones in P's room are not room darkening. So they will have to resend the right ones and replace them. To anyone who wants to order Hun.er Doug.as cellular blinds, they are pretty awesome BUT if you can get the same ones online for cheaper and install yourselves - go for it. It took two screws per window to install them and no measuring. We had 6 windows and were charged something line $150 for the installation. I tell you, this was the quickest someone ever made $150 for manual labor. The easiest installation possible. I would have probably looked more into getting them online had I known that. The special thing about the HD is that they have a cell within the cell, which makes them very energy efficient. Apparently we can get some tax credit for that, but it probably will be like $120 or so. Anyway, our master bedroom looks awesome (except for the 4 big boxes with stuff that we need to go through tonight sitting on the floor). I love the privacy, the look (they are just a tad darker gray than the walls) and the fact that the room won't get so hot during the day. P's room was already so much cooler this morning than usually (we get sun in the afternoon). I also love that they blinds don't take up additional space from the room, the way the curtains did. I now feel like I want to move the bed closer to the wall, although we can't, as P's bassinet needs to fit there.
Baby Shower this Saturday, can't wait!
Oh, I almost forgot! I quit my other job! So now I have every other Friday off and can work on the nursery and other baby related stuff. Although DH is pushing me to study for my PMP, which I want to do but don't think I have time. I know it will be even harder once P is here, but my mind is just not there for the PMP now. All I can think of is pediatricians, bottles, birth assistants, etc. :)
