Hello! As of three minutes from now, there should be approximately 23 days left of this pregnancy! Yipee! It's not that I don't like being pregnant, it's that, well, I realllly don't like being pregnant! You know how there are those joyful, can't-wait-for-my-belly-to-become-bigger, lovin' every minute of it kind of pregnant ladies? (You know who you are!) Well, I've never, never been one of those. I was sick a lot with Lovely, but still was able to gain about 34 lbs. Snugglebug was mean and painful the entire time in my stomach, and once again, I gained about 34 lbs. Laeah was wonderful--until I developed gestational diabetes and anything bad I even looked at sent my sugar through.the.roof. Also, I could barely eat with her (just never felt I had room), so I only gained 15 lbs. I also had several infections with her. This one...this one has been the kicker. She has been soooo painful (like Snugglebug), yet I'm practically never full--Seriously, I can have the thought, "Man, I am stuffed!" and two minutes later I feel a hunger pang in my stomach. I've had a stuffy nose, headache, back-ache, cough for what seems like months now, and I have gestational diabetes. Let's just say, my body is tired!
In other news, Laeah stands by herself a lot lately. She often will take one step...and then tumbles down to her bum. I've told her she's on a schedule, and it seems she's trying to comply, but it's just not happening as quickly as I would like it to happen. I know she'll be too heavy for me to lift after the baby comes, so I am worried about that.
In even stranger news, I bit the bullet and bought two cloth diapers. What? Yes, I did. I did because I keep seeing the receipts of the disposable pieces of "let's just let all her clothes get wet/stained because we can't handle two hours between changes" diapers. So, we'll see if I can shell out more money once I try these to see how I like them.
In terrific news, we finally found a new (old) vehicle. It was in a state away, so it was a nice, long drive, but it's just what we wanted/needed. My current vehicle seats 7, but not 5 and 2 infant/baby seats. Laeah is extremely small (still only 18 lbs), so she needs to remain backwards for a while yet, and my current car just can't accommodate. We bought a Yukon XL that seats 7 but has captain's chairs, so it has an easy pass-through. I named it Cornelius :D It has a lot of miles, but they have to be all highway because the interior is in such good condition!
Lastly, I went yard shopping today and printed a new Ravelry pattern for a baby blanket. Only one of my students made a blanket for Laeah, so it's up to me to make one for this baby. I've been missing crocheting, so I hope to have a bit more time to work on it.
