- buying necessary baby supplies...very few needed this time around, but we are set now
- installing new ceiling fan
- finishing painting
- arranging finiture
- clothes washed and hung in closet
- blankets washed and folder
- diapers changed down to the right size and put away
- final touches on sub plans at school. I think there are only two things left on my to-do list
- working away on the cross-stitch wall hanging. Over half done, but still a ways to go! Hoping to get a lot done over Thanksgiving and Christmas break.
- filling the freezer. I've been trying to make at least one extra meal a week to put in the freezer for easy meals post baby. I've just been doubling whatever we are having for dinner that night and making a crockpot of soup at least once a week. We eat the soup for one meal and freeze the rest.
Still left on the to do list:
- install new blinds (ordered, but not here yet)
- hang up bookshelves (ordered, but not here yet)
- hang up border on wall
What baby has been up to:
- frequent hiccups! These started around 30 weeks and are happening a few times a day.
- moving a lot. This little guy doesn't like me to lay down in the evenings. He wiggles all around.
- growing, growing, growing...baby has been measuring about one week behind "average." So I am hopeful that means he won't be huge and my doctor won't feel the need to discuss early induction. Caleb always measured 2-3 weeks ahead of "average."
How I've been feeling:
- my back has been feeling much, much better.
- sleeping pretty good most nights for about 2.5 hours in a row. Then I usually have to go to the bathroom, change positions, and fall back to sleep.
- out of breath...the extra weight is taking it's toll and a flight of stairs will leave me winded. I'm still making it to they gym 2-3 times a week to do some cardio.
- relieved that it sounds like a long-term sub is lined up at school...and she's a retired English teacher, so I won't need to check papers!!!!
