Moving

Let me just say that this week has been interesting. We were able to start moving things into our new house on Monday, so when I go out of work we got a couple of car loads to the new house. Tuesday Michael rented a big U-Haul truck and got almost everything else moved. And after work we continued with another couple of car loads of the stuff that was left over. Wednesday evening when I got out of work I came home and decided that I was going to get my Christmas tree up. The unpacking could wait until the next day. Needless to say, my Christmas tree is up and has lights on it, but I was too exhausted to put any ornaments on! Tonight Austin and I did a load from the kitchen because neither Michael nor I have felt like packing it up or moving it! We've ate out the last three nights because of this so tomorrow I'll actually get to cook a meal here! Of course Austin and I made a much needed trip to the grocery store tonight so we actually have food that we can eat here now! Needless to say, Michael has done a great job getting everything moved this week! I can't lift much so he's been a real trooper!

I had my bi-weekly appointment with Dr. L today. I must say that I did much better at controlling the weight gain the last two weeks. Two pounds in two weeks isn't bad! Her heartbeat sounded great like always! It's always so interesting to hear their little heartbeats! I then asked Dr. L the question that has been on my mind for a while. "When do we determine how big she is and how big she's going to get!" After I explained the difficult time I had with Austin and how much he weighed, Dr. L thought that maybe we could do an ultrasound at 38 weeks to see how big she is at that point. Considering that Austin weighed 8 lbs 11 oz at 39 weeks, he could have easily been 9 lbs 11 oz at 40 weeks. Dr. L is going to keep an eye on how things progress in the next 8 weeks and if determined by himself or an ultrasound that she's going to be big like Austin, he will induce labor at 39 weeks. Isn't he great! So although I've been completely exhausted lately, I can't say the same about the baby! This girl is a mover. She is getting pretty good at sticking her butt out and making my belly look lopsided. I have determined that she has made her way into a head down position as something is constantly moving at the top of my belly! What I would give just to be able to see what she's doing in there!

So as the countdown to Christmas continues, so will the unpacking! Hopefully we’ll have everything taken care of by Christmas. I’ve decided that it’s not worth it to overwhelm myself with trying to get everything done. Having the whole weekend to get things situated will be nice! Well, I can tell that it’s time to call it a night as my typing is no longer making much sense! One more day of work and then the weekend!
