Ready to lock and load!
I am so sick right now.
Alex gave me his cold just in time for my dad's visit, which I guess was good timing after all because Dad is doing a lot to help us out around the house and in entertaining Alex, who makes it a point to ask as soon as he wakes up, "Where's Boompa?" I've just been drippy and had a sore throat, but yesterday and today I've been getting increasingly nauseous. I'm hoping it's from the cold, especially after today's ultrasound appointment.
Little Miss is currently head down, which is good, and has her face jammed as far down as it will go at the moment while at the same time being pressed against my hip bone. Everything is in position and ready, and in the past month she's gone from the 51st percentile to the 66th in weight, weighing now about 5 1/2 lbs. She's still got cooking to do, but if there's no scarring on my cervix when they take the stitch out in three weeks, I could very well be having her in the beginning of July. The nausea concerns me only because I can't actively dilate without damaging myself, but while I've been feeling a lot of pressure, some cramping, and some bouts of non-regular contractions, I haven't had any of the telltale signs that there is any tearing going on (thank god, but then I'm doing what I can to keep my activity levels low). Still, it could be a precursor...and then again, it could be my cold. I'm hoping for the latter, because I'm afraid of pushing it and going into labor early. I've got another few weeks of those hormone shots to keep her at bay, but they stop when the stitch comes out in 20 days. (omg, 20 days...it's creeping up fast!)
Tomorrow A goes back to work and Dad and I will be alone with Alex most of the day. We'll probably sort through baby clothes while Alex naps: with the Vegas heat, we've decided that a lot of things need to be exchanged up for 6-9 month, and we don't have many of those clothes anyway. We had enough 3 month clothes to clothe a houseful of kids! Plus, I have all my old "little boy clothes" to pass to my sister that Dad has to try to fit in his suitcase. I'm so close to being done with my sister's baby blanket, but I've taken a small break from it, so I may just mail it to her.
Ok, time for some water and see if I can get to sleep despite this nausea and Little MIss's hiccups.
