9 Weeks

So, here I am with only 9 weeks left to go. I'm realizing how much I have left to do to get ready. This weekend we (and by "we" I mean my husband) is painting and texturing the ceiling of the baby's room (and Faith's since we have the stuff out). This afternoon we are going to go purchase a ceiling fan/light to put up. Both of the rooms get so hot in the afternoon & take quite a long time to cool down in the evening. Not only that, the light fixtures in there right now really suck. So a ceiling fan should really help to circulate some air. Then hopefully next weekend we will paint. Then we have to get Faith's new dresser and move her old one to the baby's room. Then, after I have a place to put clean clothes I need to wash all of the gender neutral stuff I kept from Faith's baby clothes & get them put away.
And of course, I'm very excited time is getting short and soon I should have my sweet, squishy little baby to bring home. However, I'm still finding time to worry. I've had my glucose tolerance test and did fine with that. I did find something to call the dr about Friday. The baby had not been very active. It's not completly abnormal for the baby to be his normal active self then have less active day here or there. Thursday, he was not too active and I wasn't too worried. Friday he was still not too active. I only counted him moving 4 times in an hour so I called. They told me to go home, drink some juice & count how many times I felt him move in 20 minutes then call back. She said twice is good. I felt him move 3 times, but it was very weak so I was naturally still concerned. She told me that the 3 times is good but if I was still worried I could come in. I hate to be such a worry wort. I told her I'd wait awhile & kind of just see. She told me I could always come in this afternoon or if I needed to go to L&D this weekend. So, I fought the urge to run in for some reassurance. By Friday evening, my little man was back to his normal active self. With some quite hard kicks and jabs and his new favorite thing of stretching.
I have my next appointment in two weeks. That marks the end of my appointments every 4 weeks and my start seeing the dr every other week. Soon, it will be baby time!!!!
