*31 Weeks*

And 31 weeks... hereeee we go!!

I know I say it every week, but time really is flying on by. I can't believe that we are getting into the '30s' weeks now. I tell Daryl almost every day that we are getting so close. It's crazy!!

So this past week was actually quite eventful.. except for the weekend... I worked Saturday and Sunday with a cool nurse, so it was a good weekend. Not too busy, and what's even better, is the swelling is keeping itself at bay. It's really not too bad yet, which is NICE. My hips continue to hurt pretty bad, but I manage :) While I was at work, Daryl bought some Dreft baby detergent and washed ALL the baby clothes from age Newborn to 6 months, folded, and hung them up. So awesome!! They smell soooo good and I cannot believe it was time to have to do that... CRAZY!! Random note: At work all weekend, I CRAVED chicken salad... so weird. But I did. And I made some during the week and ate the whole batch. HaHa.

Now Monday was interesting. I relaxed during the day and straightened up the house some, then went and picked up Cam from school. Daryl and I were planning on meeting at the grocery store to do some grocery shopping, so Cam and I killed some time and got milkshakes before :) ...here's the big part... It was super, super crowded and Camryn decided to throw what I believe to be the biggest tantrum of her life (so far)... While Daryl was holding her, I decided to finish the shopping quickly, and as I got something out of the freezer section, I turned and walked back to the cart and slipped and fell on something wet on the floor (no, there was no caution sign). I landed on all fours and when I fell, my back arched really bad because of the weight of my belly. It hurt, and scared me to death. I got up, and instead of being cool about it, I stomped away and started bawling crying. Daryl was clueless of what to do because Cam was still being difficult and I was crying... poor thing. Well, we decided to go home and take it easy, but I texted a fellow nurse, who is also an OB nurse, and she told me that I needed to go get monitored to be sure everything is ok...sooooo I did. Mom met us at the hospital at 9pm to get Cam and take her home and I was monitored in OB for about 4hrs. Everything was fine, but boy we were so tired the next day. And my back hurt really bad, but I rested up and it eased up. But talk about scary :(

So, Camryn has decided to get back into having pee accidents during naptime at school and throwing horrible tantrums. I talked to Daryl one night this week and we decided that we are going to try to watch the level of our voices when we get irritated with her and remind each other often to RELAX some and just remember... she is only 3, and she knows big changes are coming, as if things aren't already changing some. She's been good I think, but can be VERY honoury when she wants to be. I talked to her for a while and she said she understood 'no more yelling' and to be patient and talk to us if she wants something... because let's face it, once baby arrives, things can get hectic enough without yelling and getting aggravated easily. So that's something the three of us have been working on and it seems to be working well :)

Wednesday morning was our 30wk doctor's appt. Daryl went on to work because my mom asked if she could go to one appt with me and see an Ultrasound, so she went with me this time. Baby girl is BEAUTIFUL and active and big haha. She is measuring at 4lbs10oz right now!! Her heart rate was 148. They said everything looks great! I had to see a different doctor because my doctor was on vacation, but I know that's common at this point because my appts are every two weeks now... no biggie. I went and had a pedicure afterwards then went home and napped.

Thursday I was just really sleepy all day, so I slept. ALOT. And I don't feel guilty about that one bit. HaHa. I got put on call for work that night, which was ok. Every once in a while, that's nice :)

See you all next week!!
