Today I went through my 3 year olds clothes and took out all the newborn and 3 month stuff. I also took the crib and the carseat out of storage. All I have to do is wash everything. I am starting to get excited but I am not in any rush for him to get here, even though I am not sleeping much now I know I will be getting alot less sleep once the baby gets here. We have also agreed on a name. We haven't talked about a middle name but I was thinking of my brothers name.

Well I am losing weight again. I steped on the scale and I have lost 6 lbs since I last weighted myself at the midwifes. So now I am only up 5 lbs from my pre pregnancy weight. sure beats the 85 I gained with my first.

Yesterday I had painful cramps and discharge. Thinking it would go away I tried lying down streching everything and they kept coming. At 5 I called the midwife and she said I should come in to get checked out and make sure I wasn't leaking fluid etc. When i went in they hooked me up to the machine that checks for contrations, checked for fluids and a urine sample. I am not leaking fluid, and they are not contractions, I have a UTI and I was dehydrated. I can't believe I never even thought about a uti since I am so prone to them. oh well better safe than sorry.

I love where I am going to have my baby, When I got there they were ready for me. I didn't have to wait for someone to call me back or wait around.

Last night we moved my son into a different bedroom and moved him to a double bed. He slept through the night he has only done that a handful of times. Maybe that is all he needed was a big bed. We also set up the crib. I am thinking of making the nursery Lighing McQueen and Cars but it doesn't really go well with the crib I will have to find a way to dress it up a bit. That is how my oldest sons room was decorated but he had a toddler bed so he wont be using it anymore. Still unsure on how to decorate James room. Right now he is into Scooby doo but I am not sure how long that will last I am thinking Dinosaurs.

Today I had my midwife appointment, Everything was good. Measuring 2 weeks ahaed but that is ok I have been 2 weeks from the begining. blood pressure was good baby's heart beat was 150 and I only gained 3 lbs since my last appointment so that puts me at about 12 lbs from my pre pregnancy weight. I am just tired. Met the doula I am going to be using last night, she seems very nice, I have to start thinking about what I will do with my son when I am having the baby, I would have liked him to be there but I don't think that is a good idea, the baby being born isn't the problem it would be him seeing me in the state I will be in that will be the problem. I also got my GD screen back I was .8 away from being over. My iron was low but I wasn't surprised with that have to eat more meat ( yuk) and Iron rich food or take a supplement which I don't want to do.

Today I had a midwife appt. Everything was good. They are sending me for a bio physical ultrasound. Since I am measuring big and I have a lot of fluid. Baby has dropped and I kinda figured he did b/c I am now a little uncomfortable Today he is sitting on a nerve or something b/c it hurts. I am not in any rush for him to get here though.

Today i went for my bio physical ultrasound the baby scored an 8/8 and he weights 6lbs 4 oz.

My oldest son is driving me nut. I feel bad for saying that. But I can't do anything he is following me everywhere and I am really started to dislike the name Mommy. I know it is because there is going to be a new baby but I don't want two babies.
