20-6-2008 - 7 months. yay!

My mood while writing this blog: overwhelmed

---

So I had my 7 month check up today. I have gained 19 lbs. and measure perfect for 27 weeks. I can do the glucose test anytime until the 30th. So in 23 weeks I gained 12lbs. Thats nearly half a pound a week. Probably more lately cuz I have been craving taco bell and sweets. Still no strech marks. Keeping fingers crossed. Altho, the ob said that most people 'if' they get them the second time around, they will get them in the same areas they had them before. Which is not what mil said so ha! I can handle them where they lready are but I really don't want them on my sides. I would hate that. I know I would get over it just like I did with Bens but I am keeping optimistic. We have so much to do. Not only do we have to finish the house, we have a trip coming up in like 2.5 weeks. I have to still somehow fix the dresses that I am wearing as the stupid liner gets all hiked up and looks like a mini skirt under the sheer overlayer. So there is that. Plus, I have these weird crampy pains in my lower sides. It was just on my left but yesterday I had it on the right too. Just seems much lower than the baby would affect but I am sure it is just streching pains. If only I had a maid to do all the house work. Ha ha ha. It's not that bad but I just hate to look at it but don't always wanna hop up and fix it and a 4 year old sure is not making it better. We got new dressers for ben and baby so we can start getting things put together. We are gonna register this weekend so that will be fun. I would like to get the crib set up soon so that It is ready before I am to tired to help but I want to set up a folding wall behind it that we can decorate girly and have her an area that is just for her since she won't get the full nursery experience like Ben did. Eddie is already wigging out about losing his office. It is potentially 3 years away and yet he is all worried and suddenly he wants to clean out the basement so that he can start another project of finishing a room down there for his future office space. I would like to finish up what we have up here before opening up a new can of worms. The doctor said that I can go to the Coeurdalene assembly the weekend before baby comes if I feel well enough. He says they have patients who live farther away than that so it is no big deal. My allergies came back. With Ben I had none until he was like a year old. Not so much this time. The doctor also said that is it more common to measure big with subsequent kids so it shows I am not gaining to much that I measure just right. That was good. He is the oldest doctor at the clinic that delivers so I may have him to the surgery but I still wanna meet with these other 2 just in case I get a feeling that they are more capable. He was nice enough but was maybe in a hurry. But he let me address all my questions once I told him the number I had. I rattled them off using my fingers and he discussed them one by one. So I see him in a month then hope to see the other 2 before I have to make a decision and schedule. I wonder if it somewhat depends on who is working the hospital of choice the day that they chose to do it. I think I can schedule it on my next appointment but I won't have met the others so I don't know. And he said if you wait to long the hospital will book up and you'll have to swich hospitals or dates. Neither of which I wanna do. I want that Monday at Sacred Heart. Doctor still uncertain. But so is her name so what can you expect. Gabriella, annabella Ariella, something. It'll come to us I am sure. Ben wasn't ben until he was born and we could see him. I just have no preconceived notions of how she will look so it is not the same. We'll just have to keep trying.
