Anyway 2nd trimester is here and I feel relieved. Pain/pressure/nausea is increasing though. If I don't stop peeing every 5 minutes today (so far I've been ok *knock on wood*) I guess I'll have to check if it's a UTI. Not sure if everything's just bunched up there and it's making me miserable or what. Blech.

I can't believe how fast August is approaching, wasn't it just the 4th of July? Dr.s appts, birthdays, back to school. And of course work, trying very hard to stick it out until mid October, I just dread getting up at 6:30 for ds to get to school, and then working until whatever the fuck time they let us out (and it's getting closer to midnight every fucking day). I'm exhausted just thinking about it and I'm already sleeping for shit.

13.5ish week appt. Lost one lb. Babies h/b is good at 158 (she looked at Xander and said 'might be a sister!' but said she wasn't going to put her foot in her mouth by saying for sure of course). And the most exciting 3D ultrasound August 14th. Triple screen a week before that. Not entirely sure how I feel about the triple screen but I'm going to take it I guess. If they find anything I will NOT do an amnio though.

Beyond that everything's cool, and I'm feeling ok, still tired but ok.

Well I've made two official baby purchases today (not counting the beautiful kick ass dresser I got from a garage sale two weeks ago, with matching vanity).

Crib: http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2304668

It's nothing fancy but it matches the other furniture and it converts to a toddler bed/daybed/full sized bed. It's a hell of a lot nicer than what Xander had.


And a ring sling made out of this fabric: http://www.virginiaquilter.com/cgi-local/SoftCart.exe/online-store/scstore/p-AH6050.html?L+scstore+lrny7709ffbcfbbc+1183239338

(thank you beachmama!)

I really love buying baby stuff.
