So my body apparently didn’t think my face had enough swelling, so we added allergies to the mix this week. Again. Crazy how I haven’t had bad allergies in YEARS, and I’ve had them twice since I have been pregnant. Definitely not as bad as last time, but still terrible. On a brighter note, Cooper decided to stop camping out so low and has been kicking/or punching up a storm the past couple days. I love being able to watch him move…. as crazy as it is! My hands have gradually gotten worse… I literally wake up feeling like I have arthritis, and my joints will be stuck… terrible terrible feeling. Especially for someone who doesn’t pop their knuckles and can’t stand that feeling.
My parents came down Wednesday and we accomplished A LOT in the nursery! It actually looks like a room now instead of a storage unit. My dad hung up shelves, the wood art I made, and curtains… and my Mom and I went shopping and she got the mattress, the changing pad and some sheets. So once I get the rest of the bedding, I think this room will be complete. Except for the fact I have to put a baby in it…. that part I’ll have to figure out later. We also put together the pack n’ play and it’s sitting next to my bed! Covered of course, because the cats think it’s their new bed. Still on baby watch with Julie – will for sure have a baby in the next 10 days!
