So all and all I'm doing OK and so is Ethan. His heart beat is nice and strong and my fundal height is right where it should be. My blood pressure was normal, so that's good. I took my 1 hour glucose test, they had the orange drink and it was cold, so it made it easier to drink. The only thing that I'm not happy with is the fact that I put on 7lbs since April 9th. EEEKKKKK!!!! If I keep putting on weight like this I'm going to be way too heavy. But you can't see it. It appears to be all belly. My shirts that are non maternity still fit. Granted they're coming up short on the belly area, but they're not stretching like crazy. My polo shirts from last summer fit with no problem. My pants are fine, they don't really bother me. Some of my sweats and jogging pants (non maternity ones) are just now starting to bother me around the bottom of my belly. So I don't know where it all is, I guess it's belly mainly.
I mentioned to the OB how my braxton hicks contractions are starting to be more painful than I remember before, and she said that I'm probably doing too much and need to slow down and relax more. I've been walking to get lil man from school and it's not a close walk. It's up hills and it take me 20 minutes one way without walking too fast. It's not helping my back and making it hurt more, it's also causing pains in my uterus. So next week he will be on the bus going and coming to school. We were being cheap and trying to save, since it's an out of pocket expense. But at this rate I'm going to collapse before I even make it to him.
I'm also nesting like a mad person. I'm bleaching anything and everything down that I can without ruining it. My kitchen and bathroom get bleached down daily. I'm sweeping the floors multiple times a day. And there isn't a single dish in the sink for longer than a few minutes, unless I'm exhausted then I'll let them sit. But it annoys me to see them. So I clean then bleach down the sink once I'm done. I wish I could vacuum but it's too heavy for me non pregnant so I won't push it now.
I'm putting my foot down with the girls and telling them they need to help me more. That I'm doing more than they are and they get paid for these chores, I don't. Lets see how long I can get them to actually do their chores for. I only ask them to keep their bedroom, lil man's bedroom and the living room clean. I take care of the rest of the house.
So that's about all that's going on with me and Ethan. Oh he's none stop moving to the point that his movements hurt. Big Kev gets so shocked to see how hard he's moving about. You can see my entire belly move through my clothes.
My most recent belly pic. I believe it's about one and half weeks old now.
