Another Dr. appt. was on Thursday. Pretty good appt, just a bit of hand swelling and protein. I am to rest more often and drink more water, nothing major. I got a flu shot after much debating, but it was the best choice for me due to my high fever with the flu in the past. I need to get Catie the shot and convince Chris as well. My next appt. is Nov. 13th and we got our preverification for the hospital and insurance, so everything seems set! We have a lot to get done around the house still. I am waiting on decor for the nursery and still need to finish the play room. Of course some painting, carpet cleaning and getting a leak fixed still needs done. We're trying our best to get on top of it all. My Mom & I went shopping for Christmas/Birthday for Catie yesterday, got almost all done. Chris had a nice day with Catie! I have to upload some pics still...
I had another Dr. appt. this past Monday. It went great and we got to see our little guy on ultrasound. I am learning when to take it easy and when I can do stuff. My c-section is all set for the morning of Dec. 7th, which makes it all seem so much more real, less than 6 weeks to go!! Catie is doing great and is excited about the baby, not sure how much she understands. She just had a growth spurt and went from a size 7.5 shoe to 8.5 and now we are buying size 9 for fall/winter. She is getting all size 3T clothes also, they are a bit big around the waist, but thank goodness they are adjustable. She needs them for the length though and who could resist a cute new wardrobe?? Ok well, we have a busy weekend of trick or treating at the outlets today and a halloween party tonight. Catie is very excited to be a bumble bee this year and to get candy!!
We have been very busy organizing this house and doing fall activties with Catie, but we need to slow down. I was put on bedrest for just one week till my body settles, just not to be on my feet for more than 30min. at a time. I went to the Dr. today and then have another appt. next Monday. Today they hooked me up to the NST monitor to check baby heartrate & contractions and all will be fine with some rest. I am glad I got the closet mostly cleaned out upstairs, garage organized and toys sold last week, plus we are all decorated for halloween. I'm sure all this brought on the bedrest though, plus all the walking this weekend between the pumpkin patch, mall, and flea market. So we'll take it easy for a week and just chill with Catie. Chris is picking up a lot of slack around the house and we'll get take out for dinners, yum! I have some pictures to upload...
