Tuesday blahs...
I'm still reeeeally tired today. I need to find about 5 extra hours' worth of sleep this week, and I'm not sure how exactly I'm going to do that!
Yesterday I went home early expecting to have to take Sadie to the vet. But much to my delight I couldn't find any signs of vomit when I got home!! So, I kept a close eye on her and got her to eat some rice and chicken broth and so far she's managed to keep that down. She also didn't throw up any last night, so hopefully the worst is over! *fingers crossed* If she makes it through today without puking and still eats more rice and broth, Brian says he'll stop making her sleep in the kitchen, which I'm sure will make her happy! And then hopefully she can go back to her normal dog food tomorrow...
Since I had some extra time last night, I got to work on the baby's room again. I got the non-baby sheets put away in rubbermaid containers (with dryer sheets to keep them fresh) so that they can be stored in the office closet and not smell like cat litter. I put some baby stuff in the closet for storage, and I started sorting through what needs to be washed. I have a basket full of stuff including blankets, towels, and a small handful of clothes. I don't want to wash too many clothes until we have a better idea of how big he's going to be, but I unpacked a few newborn onesies and some 0-3 months' onesies and t-shirts. I'm also holding off on the bedding until later because I don't want to set everything up and then have the cats hair it all up! But I figure the blankets and towels and bibs will be needed regardless and can be put in drawers to keep snoopy pets out! ;) Later this week I plan to start actually washing everything...
This morning I had a doctor's appointment -- they said everything's going well so far and I'm still right on target! I was also very happy to find out that I can take Zyrtec before the baby's born. Since allergy season's approaching I was getting worried that I wouldn't be able to take anything and would get sick... Definitely a relief to find out that's not going to be the case! :)
Also this morning I started making a list of all the stuff we didn't get at the shower but will need before the baby's born. It's mostly little odds and ends, and nothing too major. And I have gift cards to Target and Babies R Us, so hopefully we won't really have to pay for much! If I can find time this weekend I'd like to start getting that stuff bought...
Yesterday I sent my boss a copy of my presentation for Friday, and he emailed me this morning saying it looked good! He said he only has a couple of things to add to it, so I figure I'll be able to finish that up today. Then, I'll just have to study it a bunch between now and Friday so that I can hopefully speak in a coherent manner! And hopefully I can squeak in those 5 extra hours or so of sleep between now and then so that the pregnesia won't be too bad! Maybe I'll take tomorrow or Thursday morning off and sleep in to be on the safe side... ;)
Other than more baby-related stuff, I hope to get our taxes done and filed this week so that we can get our refund this month! It'll be awesome to get that taken care of, and then we can start TV shopping so that Brian will stop whining about it! ;)
Well, I think that's about it for now... I need to go forage for food before lab meeting. TTFN.
