The Crud

Well it seems that I have gotten the crud that is going around :o( I had thought it was just allergies but now I think it is the nasty stuff that has been going around the town. No idea how I managed to get it since I am never out and about but I did get it. So for the last 3 days I have been a combination of snotty, stuffy, sore throat, coughing, pants peeing, gagging, puking ball of fun. It really sucks being pregnant, sick, and then having to take care of a 4 year old and a house. My house was terrible yesterday and all I could do was lay in bed. Andy had to come home from work and clean the house for me. so this morning I got up to a wonderfully clean house. I am feeling a bit better thanks to some rest and the Netty Pot but I am clearly not 100% and I am just praying I feel better soon, like tomorrow. Anyways...I figured since its been a week I should update you on my dr. apt. last was last Monday, especially since I will have more news tomorrow.

So my dr. seems pretty nice despite the bad word I had heard about him from a lady who bought a stroller from me. He did a full exam and said everything was fine as he could tell. He measured me and said that I was measuring small and he didnt think this baby would be as big as Riley, which I am not totaly upset about since she was almost 8lbs! When I asked him if that was a problem he said it wasnt because everyone grows differently and that I had not really gained any weight and that everything measured after 25 weeks was just an estimate anyways. It freaked me out a bit since he marked on my ultrasound ticket that I needed the ultrasound because I was measuring small for my dates, but Jill calmed me down and said it was like he said and just a guess. Not to mention that is the first reason given on the ticket for the apt so he probably just marked that option in a hurry. Anyways, my u/s is tomorrow at 11:45, Andy actually gets to go this time and so will Riley. I am really excited about it! I am a bit worried they will tell us its a boy though now that we have all the girly stuff bought and ready. I will be a bit sad if its a boy as well since I am really excited to have another girl now...Ultimatly we just want healthy, so as long as he/she is healthy I will be happy. I just cant wait to see our little sweety, its been so long and I didnt really get a good look at her the last time since I was so sick, and Andy never got to see her so I hope its special for him as well. I know Riley will really be happy to see the baby moving around as well. I have another dr. apt next week on Monday and after that I will have to come in every week until I deliver. I am hoping she decides to come earlier than later though. I am ready to be not pregnant and to hold my sweet little baby. I still have a lot to do though before she gets here, after tomorrow and we are sure its a girl I have a ton of clothes and bedding to wash and then I need to order my swing and get everything in the nursery organized. Its kinda scary to think I only have 5 weeks left! Time has sure flown by with this pregnancy, it seems like I just found out I was pregnant. Well I am going to get off of here now, I am pretty much out of energy again and I still need to make something for Andy to eat for dinner, he should be home any minute now. I will update you tomorrow, and I am sure I will have some new "money shot" photos of our baby to share as well.
