This past weekend, I was supposed to go to my friend Tanya's bachelorette party but ended up not making it. The week before I had come down with a bit of a cold and it slowly progressed into something worse. By last Friday night, I was hacking and feeling awful. Saturday was spent watching movies and trying to rest as much as possible. Chris was at her future husband, Paul's bachelor party all weekend so it was good he wasn't around to catch it. I am feeling better, just really congested. That might also be a symptom of the pregnancy. Hopefully I will stop blowing my nose 150 times a day.
I think the reason I got this cold was partly because of Memorial Day weekend and partly because of the drastic change in temperatures that we had. It went from being around 50-60 during the day to about 70-80, which isn't too bad but I feel like whenever this happens quickly, I get sick. This week had a couple of days in the 90+ range. Thank god for AC. Last Sunday, we were both laying in bed exhausted but unable to sleep. Chris went out at about 10:30 at night and got the AC and put it in the bedroom. Even the dog has been enjoying it. It has saved us.
Memorial day weekend was a crazy weekend for us. Friday night we had friends over that we hadn't seen since last May at a wedding. They brought their 2 1/2 year old and their 3 month old. Wow! the 2 1/2 year old was a pistol. I don't think he sat in one place for 30 seconds. We grilled some food and then played some on the PS3. Chris is not so good at letting the kid win. Oh well, something he will have to learn. We had a good time with them. They live pretty close to us so we will have to get together more often. We didn't get to bed until pretty late that night and had a full day the next day. The next day was a party at our friend's house in Newmarket that Chris met disc golfing. He made a turkey on his outdoor cooker. It was really yummy. I did some errands in the am and then we headed over there after lunch. We also had another party to go to that same day. Our friend that works for Normandeau bought a house in Deerfield in October and he had a housewarming party. We made it over there about 7-8pm. It is a beautiful house with a large lot. He has done a lot of really nice things to the house. We were there until pretty late. Again we went to bed really late. Next day was Chris' coworker Al's daughter's graduation party. We have been there several times and know a lot of their family and friends. It was hot!!!! We spent the afternoon there. It was fun to see all of them again. Monday Chris went up to the disc golf course in Maine and dove in their ponds. He found another 500 discs including his that he lost. He was very excited to finally find it. Apparently people just love throwing their discs in those ponds. I hung out with my friend Paula for the day. We had manis and pedis. That was oh so nice. During the pedi we sat in these massaging chairs. It felt so good. May have to do that again. Then we went to Calef's in Barrington to walk around their shops and have some lunch. It was a nice relaxing day. Then I had to gear up for my 3 hour glucose test. That is the next story.
I had the 1 hour glucose test a couple of weeks before and thought I was all set. But then I heard from the doctor's that I had failed and had to do the 3 hour one. That one you had to eat extra carbs 3 days prior to the test. The night before the test you had to fast from 10 pm on. Doesn't sound so bad. The next day you go in at 8. Get blood drawn from the fasting and then drink the drink. The 1 hr test was like flat orange soda. This one was super sweet fruit punch koolaid. Nasty!!! Once you drank the drink then you got blood drawn every hour after for 3 times. My poor arms. There were 5 people doing it that day. The phlebotomist had never seen it like that. I also had my appt during that time. She said my weight gain was good and normal. Better than last time. Everything measured well and the heart beat was good. She also thinks that her head is down now. Good thing. Had a friend that was 33 weeks and head was up so she had to do some exercises to try to flip her over. I survived the 3 hr test and found out the next day that I passed. Thank you Thank you sugar gods. I really did not want to have to go through all that stuff for the last 10 weeks.
I think that is all the things that have happened since I last blogged. Heart burn has been killer these past few weeks. I really am ready to be done with that. That is part of my problem when I am sleeping. I have graduated from Tums to Pepcid AC and that seems to help a bit. I am really hoping the chiropractor can help with some of the pain I have been experiencing. I am really not sure if it is due to the ankle sprain or the pregnancy or both.
Here is the 7 month photo:
Here is our latest purchase. It is the bar that allows you to put the car seat securely on the stroller. We had this on our registry but we noticed it was going to be shipped in 1-3 months so we thought we should order it now. Luckily it did not take that long. It is just waiting for the baby so Chris can take her disc golfing. Here it is all set up:
And here is an updated photo of fluffy:
