Pregnancy-wise things are smooth sailing. I've had a couple of midwife appointments since our trip and things seem great. Baby is active, blood pressure is good, no major issues just minor discomforts. I feel pretty decent considering I'll be 8 months along next week. Don't get me wrong, I still feel very much pregnant or rather like a walrus on a day to day basis. Getting up and down out of chairs/couches/beds etc is sure to elicit grunts and groans and it takes my hips a few minutes to adjust before I can actually walk. What I wouldn't give to be able to afford a chiropractor right now! Other than that and a bit of heartburn here and there, I feel pretty good. I've been walking with a friend for about an hour at a time 3 or so times a week...usually before work so we end up going at about 6 am.
In other news the HEAT has finally hit us. This past week saw record temps and a heat wave bringing us into the triple digits. Supposedly this next week is going to be cooler, but I have my doubts. I'm in for a long summer, I can tell you that.
Right now I'm in crazy-lady nesting mode. Since I can't afford to actually buy all the things I need right now, I'm settling for lists, lists, and more lists! We are fairly well set on baby items (thanks to all the wonderful family who have been SO incredibly generous!) but I'm mostly focused on items that need to be obtained in preparation for the birth and immediate postpartum....also household items since I really want to fix up/decorate the house a bit and there are a few things I need such as a washing machine (yay!) and rocking chair.
Anyway, it's a lazy Saturday...better get back to it!
