Drove myself to the doctor today (I know whoohooo...y'all drive around all day and I act like I've won an Olympic gold medal--go me) and let me just say 20 degree temperatures and icy parking lots makes Jenny a very slow waddler. Tip toe, tip toe, shuffle...actually the dr's office parking lot was not that bad and I got a spot right next to the door.
I only had to wait in the lobby for an hour this morning. I love my ob, but she has the worst wait times. It's worth it though for me to see a dr I trust and who answers my questions. I am about a regular pregnant person. She did my group B strep test today (and let me just say I was surprised and if you've had one you know what I'm talking about and if you haven't well...you'll have to google it). And next week my cerclage comes out! And the dr gave us permission to do certain things we have not been allowed to do since I was 18 weeks pregnant. It's like Christmas! lol
After the appointment I met my friend Jessica for lunch at Panera Bread. Again, I had rock star parking right up front. This parking lot was not as good as the dr's and I'm sure the people who had to wait for my slow, fat ass waddle in front of them were annoyed. I try to make sure they can visibly see that I am pregnant so maybe they'll take pity on me.
Lunch was so fun. We sat in front of the fire while we ate and then agreed that it was way too warm to continue to sit there while we had coffee and pastry. After lunch we went to Marshall's and then I went home and cleaned out a spare closet in the master bedroom. I think now that I can do more I am finding I want to nest more. Paul was so proud of me because before you couldn't even walk into the closet and now everything is neat and organized. I even was able to fill 2 giant bags to donate to Salvation Army. Look at me overcoming my hoarding tendencies!
Of course at one point I thought I was going to be stuck in the closet. You can't open the door all the way because of the dresser. I had gotten down on my hands and knees to pull shoes out that were on the floor and then I couldn't figure out how to get back up. There was nothing to grab on to to pull myself up and I didn't have enough room to turn around or actually get the shoes out (it wasn't a well thought our plan). I ended up crawling backwards and pulling the shoes out with me. At least Paul didn't get home to find me still in the closet because there was no way I would've lasted 4 hours without peeing on the floor.
And the best news of the day...the ob gave me permission to take my Nexxium twice a day (at the recommendation of my friend and PCP Rebekah...thanks chica!). I am so hopeful that this will help me not to have acid reflux/heartburn all the time and actually get some sleep! Last night I slept (let's use that word loosely) sitting straight up in bed. Let me just tell you how comfortable that is.
Paul thinks the baby is coming this weekend. I don't think she is, but I have had quite a bit of contractions this afternoon. They aren't painful, but they are uncomfortable. I guess I should pay attention and make sure I don't have more than 2 in an hour. I've kind of been slacking on paying attention. Ooops.
If Emma does come this weekend she better wait until AFTER we have dinner with Jessica and Matt at Bucca di Beppo tomorrow cause I love that place!
