Monday Monday

It is soooo nice to have weekends off again! Friday Chad and I went to Lexington to eat and look around and Saturday we grilled out and went swimming and Sunday was a lazy day. I made waffles and bacon for breakfast and baked spaghetti for dinner and we lounged around all day watching TV and napping off and on. It was pretty uneventful, but nice. I did rearrange my kitchen cabinets some and wash a few dishes but it was nothing compared to eight hours on my feet dealing with half of Winchester. It was just me and Chad :) . Not much to report on the baby front. I am 28 weeks now (2/3 of the way through)- the beginning of the third trimester. Apparently something called Braxton-Hicks contractions (and more pain in general) start around this time. Not sure I am ready for that. In fact, I don’t think I am anywhere near ready for any of this. The house is still a wreck. I am trying to do a little at a time but sometimes I just don’t feel like doing much of anything. As long as I keep moving I am okay but once I sit down for an extended period of time it’s “lights out”. I go back to the doctor next Monday so hopefully everything will go okay with that. As far as I know they are just testing for gestational diabetes. I think this is the time when the doctor can do the 3d ultrasound if I want it. 150 dollars seems a bit frivolous when it won’t be much longer before we will see the baby anyway. If insurance covered it, which I am sure it doesn’t, then I might consider it but I don’t know that I am willing to spend the money to have it done, especially when there are other doctor bills that need my attention. I guess that is something Chad and I will have to discuss together. Me personally, I am content to wait and see first hand what our little man looks like.
