Here are some pictures from the girl's day that Ashley, Kim, Jenny and I had on Saturday. We had the BEST time...and it was the BEST thing for me! I really needed to spend time with my girls just being goofy after the long, hard and emotional week that I'd had. We spent the day getting the most wonderful pedicures in the world...or maybe my feet are just THAT tired of being pregnant. Then we went to lunch at Atlanta Bread Company which thankfully I can still indulge in and control my sugar levels. Afterwards we hit the pool, babies in tow. This was the most relaxing part because we just floated around and talked about anything and everything the way we do when we get together. It was so nice to have one day set aside to spend together before the babies arrive and life gets a little crazy for a while.
You'd think I would have been really tired when I got home early that evening but I wasn't. For some reason I was super charged with energy so I got to work! I "forced" Cliff to allow me to go through all his clothes and get rid of what he does not wear or what doesn't fit him. He's a pack rat and will not get rid of anything, so I was happily surprised when he agreed. I think I won him over when I said he could play the x-box 360 and I'd bring stuff in the living room for him to tell me yes or no. We bagged up a whole large bag of clothes...the big black kind people who work in their yards use. (Hey, we found a reason to use them!) Then I felt so good when we had all that extra space in the closet that I decided to work on his drawers too. He's taken over two of my own drawers in the past year! This boy has so many clothes...
I think I'm nesting in phases because I'm highly motivated at times to get stuff done and I have an itching to organize, but other times I am so tired I can only think about resting.
Last night was a very rough night. I laid down for bed and immediately started having something similar to menstrual cramps, but different. I couldn't lay on either side without being in pain and from time to time, pains would shoot downward. This is the 3rd time this has happened since I hit the 30 week mark or so. It's scary everytime, even though I know that when it's real contractions, I'll know it. However, being new at this I'm not sure what to expect as a prerequisite to "real" contractions...so every little thing has me wondering. This lasted a little over an hour and I kept getting up, going in the bathroom, expecting something to be different. Not sure what I expected, but never found anything...I finally got on the couch and was able to get comfortable in a somewhat sitting up position. I fell asleep around "way too late o'clock" and woke up several times after that to go to the bathroom. The cramps had subsided. I have felt weak in my arms all day long and just so tired...probably from getting no sleep last night. My cramps did come back a little today but not nearly as strong. I think the little guy is still just getting situated. His new favorite game is "Get Mommy to Guess the Body Part." We play this several times a day when he jabs me with something in one place or the other. I'll "tuck" it back in to maintain my comfort and as soon as I move my hand, he's poking it back out again. I can tell I am just going to love him so much! Everytime he does this, it cracks me up. People probably wonder what I randomly am laughing at in the grocery store, gas station, etc...
I go back to the doctor on Thursday for the start of my 2 week checkups. According to Jenny's scale, I've lost another pound as of Saturday. I haven't gained weight in 6 weeks...there ARE perks to this diet I'm on!
