Oh baby drama

I have a bit of an illness, don't worry right now the baby is doing fantastic! I have cholestasis, it is a condition that only happens in pregnancy where basically (you can research it if you need to know more) its a condition in which the normal flow of bile in the gallbladder is affected by the high amounts of pregnancy hormones, so that results in the stopping or slowing the flow of bile (which is what breaks down fats during digestion). Any ways I have to go to the doc everyweek for non stress test and blood work, but as long as I take my meds and keep going to my appointments everything will be fine. I am super itchy from it and have a little pain at the top of my tummy, and as long as i don't overheat I feel fine.

On a different note, it may mean the baby may be joining us a bit early. We won't know until that day actually comes, we just have to take it day by day. Just hoping that he stays healthy. So at the ultra sound yesterday they measured him and he is weighing in at about 3 3/4 lbs, which is huge for a baby in the 29th week!!



here is his cute chubby face



here is his gangster sign



His face is tilted to the side, you can see his cute pouty lip (Adam)

There are a couple other pix if anyone wants to see them email and let me know. I will keep everyone updated and think happy thoughts about Avery and me (don't forget about Adam and Rocco too)!!

Nesting, maybe?

So I understand the concept of nesting, you get ready for the baby, decorate clean, what have you. I don't know that I really feel that, but I know I feel something. I know some of it is shear annoyance that this house is a shit hole and completely messy and disorganized and it makes me feel very mad, could that be nesting? I don't know, but I am cleaning today cause I didn't end up having to work so I decided organization was in my cards (and of course a break to type this).

So any positive words of praise may help my on my cleaning journey, I would also love any handy tips you may have. The next time anyone comes over they may not even recognize our house! I am that confident in my skills to get this done! I am getting rather large these days so I am slower than normal, but rest assured I will succeed. Cause if I don't people will not have any place to stay when they come to visit after the baby is born.

So send lots of positive juju my way!
