I was so worn out last night but feel much better today! I’m gonna start taking my supplement that helps with my Epstein Barr virus again, since that helps keep me from feeling wiped out after doing a lot.

Yesterday was amazing!!! Brad came home around 2pm and was exhausted so he fell asleep on the couch haha. My aunt was coming to get Katie off the bus to watch her while we went to the baby appointment but I forgot to give her the bag of Katie’s after school clothes and snack so I met her where the bus comes and gave that to her – and it was raining! We were waiting on the portable crib from UPS to be delivered and it said it needed a signature. Well, thank goodness they just left it at the door instead of not delivering it because Brad did not hear the door! I came back and the UPS person was driving off so yay we got it!

Brad was still pretty out of it and tired but we left just a little after 3pm and made it just in time for my 3:30pm appointment. Went back to give urine sample then Brad joined me in the office and my vitals were great! I’ve gained 31 pounds now, which I guess isn’t too bad for over 36 weeks. We went to our room and they had a little gift for me- that I opened when we left. Brad got his whooping cough shot and I got my LAST MAKENA PRETERM LABOR SHOT! No more shots in the hips- woot woot woot. They were gonna check me/swab me for Group B but since I already had it early in pregnancy and they plan to give me antibiotics for it when I deliver then I didn’t have to get undressed but of course… we did get our ultrasound!!! OB said bingo, he’s head down! Got a tiny glimpse of his face but not enough to “see” what he looks like if that makes sense. Saw spine, heart (and heard it loud and clear!), legs with ankles crossed lol, and he had a full bladder! He looked great and OB said my fluid levels are good. I asked about how much he might weigh so he held/felt my belly and said she guessed between 6-6 1/2 pounds currently. AWWW. Oh, told OB about my increasing nerve pain in my left leg and she recommended a belly band. I was soooo happy we got to see our little love bug again! We were done after that and I opened the gift box as we drove to Wal-Mart. They gave me a blanket, fuzzy socks for me, and a nice little portable drawstring bag that you can ball up into a tiny bag. Awesome! We stopped by and bought some baby stuff and then ice cream + pizza for me lol. I bought All baby detergent so I can get started washing his clothes. We went to pick up Katie from my Moms and then fixed dinners at home and Katie got to watch a little bit of cartoons before I decided to head out to Target to look for a belly band and see what else I could find. My aunt came with me. :) Found the belly band, 2 cute outfits- including a 3M dressy church outfit with a BOWTIE LOL. I do not like bowties but I knew Brad did and would get a kick out of that haha. I also went ahead and got him a bathtub! It’s in the shape of a whale… so cute.

When I came back Katie was in bed and Brad was putting Benjamin’s crib together- YES!!! I’m glad he decided to do it. He also connected the new baby monitor camera to the app on our phones. The only thing that’s left for the things I ordered earlier this week is the bedding… which I am currently still waiting on right now! It said it was out for delivery this morning and it’s almost 4pm. I’m ready to get it so I can wash the set and put it on the crib. Think we might go ahead and install the car seat in our car too! =)

I’m ready for him to come! He’ll be full term this coming Monday so would love for him to come between the 14th-17th for various reasons or maybe the 22nd! Of course I wanted March 1st but I’m actually ready for him to come sooner than that lol.

Enjoy your Friday!!!!!
