Pregnancy Update

Status:  6mos, 1 day (24 weeks, 1 day) (15 weeks and 6 days remaining)!

Cravings: frozen yogurt, orange juice, peanut butter (and pretty much anything I see on TV that looks delicious)

Feeling: fine.  My back pain has even improved a lot!  I guess my body got used to being front-heavy.  The only thing I have now is a tendency to moan like an old lady every time I have to get up and down from a chair or bed.  It’s harder than I thought it would be!  Saturday, I needed a hand up getting into a truck!

Next Dr’s appt:  Friday at 11:30am.  I have my first glucose test.

Improvements:  acne has mostly cleared up, back pain is rare, not exhausted all the time

Mood: mostly steady with a chance of crazy every now and then

Weight gain: 18lbs (on track to gain about 35)

Fun stuff:  Vera is kicking like crazy!  Q is still apprehensive about feeling it; he gets weak in the knees.  I am not sure how well he’ll fare in the delivery room.  I might have to instruct Nicki to be on faint-watch!  

I’m also really excited about completing the nursery/going to my shower!  Q hung the chandelier last night, and it is adorable!  It’s a little more off-white/beige than I thought it would be (the pic online looked white) but it matches the paint, so I am ok with it.  I also think I am going to let him do the built-in.  Now that the walls are framed, it does seem like it won’t be that hard (he installed the front of the bottom cabinet to sell me on the idea).  After I agreed, he thanked me for “letting him do something for Vera” ha ha!  Am I that bad?  Anyway, I thought it was sweet, and I know he’ll do a good job.  I definitely made him a punch list of all the other house projects he can do/finish for Vera too. :)
