Went for a regular 2 week check-up yesterday. Very routine, get weighed, pee in cup, check blood pressure, and listen to heartbeat. Everything is still going as good as it can. One thing the Dr. said was she would be outta town the last 2 weeks in June! I'm thinking that's okay i'm not due til the first week in July. Then I decided wait a minute, what if I have this baby early! After my small freak out, I realized that if I go into labor early, it's not going to matter who delivers my baby because she's coming out no matter what. With all that said, I go back in 2 more weeks to get the Group B test done then start going for weekly appointments.
People have told me how the end is so rough, I would always think how could it get any rougher...Until every week gets a little harder to do things. I tried to stand on the dining room chair to reach something in the closet and couldn't lift myself on the chair!! I was very mad because when I want something done I want it done then, and I was home by myself so I had to wait for Wayco to help. He laughed at me, but did what I needed him to do. Then I was sitting on the couch and dropped something under the coffee table, when I bent down to get it I couldn't reach it!!! How frustrating!! I'm thinking I have to make it 5 1/2 more weeks.
On a good note, we have everything we need for Arlee to arrive. There will probably be more things we need and don't know yet, but from what my checklist says and what moms say I think we are ready!! Arlee's hospital bag is packed, and mine is almost packed minus a few things I need to get at the store. I just need to get a pediatrician in Chanute set up and we are good!!
Arlee's room will be ready in a couple more weeks so I will post a pick of her room, it's so much fun decorating a little girls room! The upstairs of our house will probably be done in a couple of weeks as well, that means half way done! Maybe we will be getting back sooner than we planned!! My dad is a working machine!! I owe him big time!!

The Latest
Things are finally starting to fall in place for us. Our new house is underway, Arlee's room has been started!! I have been so anxious to get it going so I can get things out of boxes and organized. As for her temp. home, she has no room, she has a closet full of stuff and a bassinet to sleep in. I hope we can make do like that just for a few months until we get moved. Wayco and I never realized how much stuff a person so small would need. I think I have rearranged her closet 10 times to make it cute and functionable. It's the nesting thing kicking in. Everyone says you will clean and organize everything. I am already a clean and organized person so I find myself looking for things that I haven't already done. So I have started organizing Waycos stuff since mines all done, haha.
We also had our first birthing class this week. First I was really excited, then everyone that had already had the class said it was a waste of time. Since I am not easily convinced, I decided to go. If anything Wayco needed too really get in there and learn some things. Well, after 2 hours of birthing videos and car seat info, I had decided this class hasn't taught me anything except what it was like to give birth in the 80's! They need to update some things. Wayco slept through most of the videos. We were also supposed to tour the maternity floor but it was to full so we have to wait until next week. So I am thinking that we will go back one more time for that then be done. Which is a huge let down.
Less than 2 months to go and I am so ready to get this baby out!! I had to cut my hours at work because my legs and feet are swelling so bad I can hardly walk some days. Hopefully I can keep working til the end of June. Everything other than that is fine, I still have quite a bit of energy some days and none other days. You almost forget what life was like before pregnancy. Arlee is really squished in my belly, she is starting to rub on my ribs, which is not a very good feeling. The other day I was trying to push her off my ribs and I could feel a little foot or knee through my belly. I haven't been able to feel anything like that before, it was kinda cool and painful at the same time. What an experience this has been so far.....
