doc

they were running on time  we were in and out in no time. my weight stayed the same (or i lost. i can’t remember what it was last week), blood pressure was good as usual, baby’s heartbeat was 150, and i was measuring 37-38. since i’m 27 today, that’s good. baby is in the right position and he thinks it’s another "healthy size" baby like Beau  eh. i take that with a grain of salt. they can’t realllly tell.

i passed my Group B Strep test too 🙂 so NO IV for me unless i decide i want an epidural or something. yay! i hate IVs. so glad for that. i’m glad they don’t force IVs on you for no reason at my hospital. they’re so easy going. it’s nice. i hear horror stories about OBs and hospitals but mine has been decent so far. it’s more of a birthing center than a hospital though with the women’s clinic on one floor, the birth center on another and the maternity ward somewhere else (not sure if it stayed where it was or not!)

now we wait. technically full term.

after the doc, we hit the bookstore but we found it would be cheaper to buy online (Song of Ice and Fire-the series that HBO’s Game of Thrones comes from) so we did that after we got home. looked around the bookstore but didn’t buy anything and then we went to eat.

we headed home after. mom was with Sawyer while we were gone and she picked Beau up from BestStart. next week, he goes on Thursday so she’ll have both boys while we’re gone. we made another late appt hoping they’ll be running on time again. but maybe we won’t even make it to that appt. who knows? doc seems to think i’ll go on time as usual but you just never know. he’ll be on vacation next week so let’s hope it’s not a complete mess there waiting for his replacement doc.

i’m uncomfortable. i’m grumpy. beau isn’t behaving OR sleeping lately so i’m at the end of my rope. not sure wtf is wrong with him. teeth i THINK but every time i think i know what’s wrong with him, it’s not that. i hope it ends soon. we all need some sleep. and we can’t be up all night with him AND a baby. it’s not going to work. it’s making me terribly anxious thinking about it. things were going so well  i should KNOW these things don’t last with Beau but i like to have hope. have to stop hoping, i guess. he was having little meltdowns at BestStart yesterday. they said he was "emotional"; he has been at home too. ugh. i wish i understood him or what goes on in his little head.

and now i can’t find my stuff to pack list. ugh. i have one on my computer but the one that was printed was updated. i need to know what i’m missing in the labour bag and if i’m missing anything in the suitcase.

Sawyer learned to ride his bike without training wheels  pretty cool! and he’s so proud. yelling to the neighbour girl "Rorey!! look at me!!!" then SHE started bugging her dad to teach her but they’re leaving for the cottage on Sat. so it’s kind of bad timing. i told her Sawyer is 5.5 so she has lots of time (she’s 4.) not sure if that did the trick. Dennis fixed the neighbour boys’ bikes for them (one had something bent so it was squeaking and both needed their tires filled. don’t ask me why their dad didn’t do all that. i’m sure Dennis is their hero now.

what else? i guess that’s all. just a waiting game now.
