Week 27

(September 9th- September 16th)

Emotional:

The "September feeling" of wanting to get organized continues. I've been getting up earlier and it's a really good feeling. I've also been getting a lot done around the apartment! I finally got a tv, and curtains for the main room and blinds for my room. My aunt took me to get these things and while we were out shopping we also saw a really nice stoller and crib, which she said she would remember to tell my other aunts about for my shower :) Getting the blinds up was a great feeling, finally, some privacy other than a pinned up sheet! Getting everything set up inspired me to do a lot of organizing and cleaning. I re-arranged the furniture in the main room, and I really like how everything looks. Now if only I could decide how to decorate the baby's room!!!

Well, that was earlier in the week, now I'm starting to get that feeling of being absolutely swamped! Getting the blinds helped me get the momentum to do a few other things, but it also reminded me of all the other things I still have to do! There's so much still to do to get ready for the baby's room! I wonder if I'll make it on time? I still need to decide if I'm painting or not, and what color scheme I will use if I do. I still haven't had my main shower with my family, so I don't want to start getting the things I need until I know I for sure need them! I hope this feeling wears off soon, I'm starting to get pretty stressed out...

Physical:

I've been feeling a little worn down lately, just tired if I do too much. Maybe that's just cause I've been so busy! Other than that, things are going ok. A few of my friends got to feel (and even see!) Harmony jump around a little and they were very excited about it. :) I got the results of my glucose test back this morning and everything is fine. I also found out than I've gained 13 pounds since my last visit 4 weeks ago!!! Oh no!!! I'm going to try my best to slow down my weight gain, cause I'm getting near my limit, with still 3 months to go. Hopefully monitoring my weight more often will help. Previously, I was only visiting the doctor every 4 weeks, now it jumps up to every 2 weeks. Going to the doctor's is the only time I ever see a scale, so that might be part of the reason I've let myself get so heavy. Maybe next time I have a craving for ice cream, I'll ignore it and hope it goes away!!!
