Back to work today!
The holiday break definitely ended on a high note (except for W coming
down with a cold).
New Year’s Day was very low key. The only thing I can recall doing is going
grocery shopping. I’m sure there was
lots of play time with W and lots of books read throughout the day. Some days, I think we read at least 30 books
– not that I’m complaining.
Friday, I had a doctor’s appointment. My doctor gave me a couple suggestions on
topicals to try for the PUPPP. One of
them (Caladryl) has been working pretty well (thankfully!). He also said if the rash got any worse, he
would prescribe something. I hope it
doesn’t come to that. I try to avoid all
medications while pregnant. I know
several are safe, it’s more of a psychological thing. I’ve also done lots of Googling, looking for
treatments. I found a few women who
swore by V8 juice and other acidic/citrus juices. I tried the V8, but yuck. I just couldn’t drink it. Tomato juice is not my thing. So I stocked up on orange juice and lemonade,
but don’t think those have made any difference.
I also realize I’m lucky… some poor women get PUPPP all over their torso
and on their legs. Yikes. L
Anyway, I was 34 weeks, 3 days at my appointment and
measured 35 weeks. That’s right. I’m measuring right on track!! SO in your face to every single person who’s
asked me if I’m having twins (I was asked twice just this past week). After the appointment, we headed to Nani and
Papa’s house. Nani was very kind and
watched W so A and I could have a little lunch date. J After lunch, we headed home, cleaned up the
house a bit, A did his vest, and we listened to another Serial podcast. We picked W up and the rest of the night was
uneventful.
Saturday, when we woke up, A and I both agreed that we had
not slept well at all. Addie decided to
hop into bed with us and continued to move around all night. I had every intention of staying in my
pajamas all day, not bothering to do my hair or put on makeup. It snowed a bit so we were all enjoying
staying inside, playing with toys and reading.
However, around 1:30, I received an email offering tickets to the
Chicago Bulls basketball game that night.
My company’s CEO has season tickets and every so often, when he can’t
attend, he offers them to employees. A
is a huge sports fan and when I mentioned the tickets, he definitely wanted to
go. So after a phone call to my mom, a
little make up, and some dry shampoo, we were ready to go! J We are so fortunate
that our parents both live so close! A
and I could have taken W to the game, but he would have been up way passed his
bed time. Anyway, A and I had a blast! The seats were amazing!! The Bulls won in overtime. So so much fun!! We had such a great time and it was a perfect
opportunity to spend time together -just the two of us, before we become a family of four. J
Sunday, W woke up early with a cold. A brought him back to our bed and he slept
another hour. He seemed to be in a great
mood after waking up a second time and was so excited to see that we had gotten
a couple inches of snow overnight. We
decided to go to church since he didn’t seem to be feeling too poorly. Church was fine. W was extra cuddly and seemed to mainly want
Ma, which was fine by me. We headed to
Starbucks after and W spit up. L Poor guy.
But after that, he seemed to feel much better. I was actually feeling great and decided to
make chicken soup for lunch and Cajun pasta with sausage for dinner. Even A liked both.
