God, what a slacker I am.? Well, maybe not entirely slacking on my part, since I did actually do work today.? Genuine, bonafide WORK.? I’m so proud of myself that I could cry.
But I also had a NST today.? Thankfully, a lot more low key than my last one.? Kile came along, which meant Harry came along.? Still not entirely sure WHY… but there you have it.? I sat in my chair, and pressed my little button whenever I felt my little sprout twitch.? Which was a lot more after I guzzled that bottle of cranberry juice.? But the good news is that the heartbeat seemed to do what it was supposed to do.? Which is accelerate after/during/whatever movement.? I still have some questions to ask them, such as the hiccup thing (is THIS many hiccups safe?? Because this kid hiccups ALL THE TIME) and the whole “what if” scenario (in this case, what if the baby’s lungs end up being a little on the immature side… what can we expect?).? But my doctor has been on vacation so I haven’t brought it up to the doctors who’ve taken care of me in the meantime.? I think mine will be back soon.? I think.? I hope.? Anyhow.? It’d be nice.
I found out that apparently the whole ultrasound thing is something that’s going to happen every Thursday.? So that’s kinda nice.? I score an ultrasound every Thursday until this baby is born.? So that’s… two more.? Not that many… but two weeks sounds like a heck of a lot in my eyes.? It could pass in the blink of an eye, yes.? But will it?? DOUBTFUL.? This one measly day has taken forever already.? Much less fourteen more of them?? I’ll be pregnant FOREVER.? Ever and ever and EVER.
And ever.
Good to see those pregnant hormones aren’t taking hold like I feared, huh?
Do we need to talk about my house?? I don’t think we do.? I’d take pictures but I’m too ashamed.? Seriously, the kitchen table is giving me hives and I can’t even bring myself to look UNDER it.? But I can report that the nursery is nearly in order.? So I haven’t been 100% useless.? Just… ya know… 99%.? And the mini co-sleeper is MOSTLY set up.? I think Kile may have tossed out the instructions on accident, but we managed to get it up.? Of course, the carpets in our bedroom need to be cleaned but that’ll happen.? I feel better knowing it’s up and ready to go.? Becuase I’m neurotic.? I can’t clean the kitchen table, but I can spaz about the co-sleeper being put together.? Go figure.
Okay, I need to wrap this up because I’ve been writing this for HOURS now and Monday is nearly over.? And I have to get this up today so that I can say I posted on Monday.? And as I type this, little boy blue is kicking indignantly at the laptop.? Is that a hint??? Okay, okay. ? I may (or may not) be back tomorrow with something more pithy to share.
Yeah, probably not.
