First off.. things are much much better... not as good as I wish they could be but better. Lee and I had seen a really great house in Melrose on Sunday and we really and truly wanted it but Sunday night we (ok Lee) felt pressured and so we decided to not do anything about it.. the next morning my mom went by the house and took a look with my realtor. Mom loved the house as did the realtor. So I talked to Lee and we wound up making an offer on it. Our offer and all the other offers were brought to the Power of Attorney (since the person who owns the house is in a nursing home) on Tuesday. So Tuesday we waited and waited and waited.. finally around 6pm we got the call.. Sorry no house for you this time. There was a total of 29 offers (unreal) and the one that they took was way over the asking price (reminder to self to check zillow.com to find out what the price was). As other people have told me.. there are plenty of other houses out there and we just haven't found the right one yet.
I have to say though, I was very productive Sunday night.. I took my frustrations and used them to put on the mattress pad to the crib and then put on a crib sheet, a layer of absorbent padding and then another crib sheet before dressing the crib with two Pooh blankies, a teddy bear for each girl and a small stuffed hippo each. I also reorganized the changing table (lee had brought it into the Living room and then loaded the shelves under it with diapers and wipes for me).
Today (Wednesday) I had 3 appts. The first was an ultrasound. The girls did well.. Anna is now 4lbs and 14 oz and Lily is 4lbs and 8 oz. Lily was a little stubborn and didn't do her practice breathing for the tech but no one seems to be worried so Mommy won't worry either. Since I would be 38 wks by the next appt, I no longer need to go for u/s unless Dr M wants me to.
Next up was an appt with the OB. I now weigh 160lbs... and am still all baby. The OB went over a few little things and answered some of our questions. Next appt with him is next week.. yes I have graduated from appts every two weeks to appts every week.
My last appt was a NST. That went really well since the girls have gotten so big lately. They were able to get onto the monitors very easily and stay there. I had no contractions and the girls were reactive (I forget what that means). Anna tried hard to kick the monitor off but the nurse showed me how to hold the monitor in place so she couldn't do that. I was only there for 45 minutes total this time (my usual length is 60 to 90 minutes). I go back there again next week.
I think that's it for today.. I go to 3 days a week of working starting on Monday. I can barely wait.. I am hoping to work as long as I can but not literally right up to day of delivery. That would just be cruel. I think I'm starting to nest here but I'm not exactly sure. I do know that I bought some organizational crap at Bed Bath & Beyond today (don't tell Lee we'll just let him think I had this stuff already) for the kitchen drawers. Well time to go... I need to hide my purchases and then get myself going to my knitting group.
