Waiting

I went through another bout of crazy cleaning, and Aaron was able to get some things accomplished around the house that we desperately needed done before Jonah made his grand entrance (fixing the ceiling fan and the dryer). His room is finished now too, except that his walls are bare and I am still looking for the perfect things to put on them. Aaron got his daddy diaper bag, and now they are both filled and ready. His clothes are all washed. Now all I have to do is wash his bottles (which he won't need for almost a month after I deliver since I will exclusively breastfeed for about 3 weeks) and put his carseat in. We also need to find a pediatrician. But I'd say we're doing pretty well compared to how we were around the holidays.

After a few days of cleaning, I became incredibly exhausted again. Every time I try to do school work I fall asleep. I sleep well at night too, so I guess it is just my body tiring from helping him grow so much. I've also been experiencing relentless heartburn. I can't go a minute without it, and it is really starting to upset me. If Jonah wants a sibling, he should consider cutting the crap. It is so painful and bothersome. This morning I woke up with some spotting as well as terrible cramps and back ache, but when I called the doctor, she said to just take it easy and see what happens. I'm feeling worse as the day progresses, but haven't felt anything I would think is a contraction. Then again, I don't know what they feel like, so who knows. Maybe it'll be soon?

We don't have to teach labs this week due to MLK day today. Yay! I'm so glad, because I already feel behind in my school work. It is starting to get warm in Athens. I am so happy for the sun and to not need to bundle up every time I go out, but I'm also sad because I bought Jonah the cutest outfit to come home in because I thought it'd be really cold. Ohwell!

I had a dental appointment today, and the dentist said I have perfect oral hygiene, which he said it actually really unusual for pregnant women. He said it means my immune system is great and things must be going well. That's awesome!

I need to get back to school work, but I thought I'd plug the new blog I started. It's going to chronicle our journey through raising a child eco-consciously. www.seedlinghugger.com
