Week 35 has been a little better. I'm not sure if she is (finally) moving down and there is less pressure pushing up acid or I'm eating better or what else - but I finally have had a LITTLE bit of relief from acid reflux. Not waking up with it every single night. I also have a tiny bit of my energy back thanks to iron supplements.
Had I mentioned the eye twitching? lol - That started weeks (months) ago and I'm now guessing it was either entirely stress related (or possibly iron related). As soon as the hallway was cleared of flooring and cribs the twitching stopped. Stress I think. (but coincided with the iron supplements as well - so who knows?) Oh you didn't know the crib was up?!? Eric has the floors done, is working on the trim and I'm now frantically making sheets, working on curtains, decorations etc so the room can be 'done'.
(sneak peak!)
I am feeling pretty good. I am not as big as last time (by about 4 lbs at this point) and eating most meals at home has made a huge difference in the amount of swelling (I have VERY little this time vs. last time). I am still getting to the point that I'm pretty ready to be done being pregnant - but I am NOT ready to have a baby at home (for about a million reasons - the biggest being the state of the house/nursery/my mind).
Little e decided to throw another loop in the mix today when he wanted to go pee-pee on the potty and wear big boy undies like his daddy! Say wha?!? He has been talking about it for a little while now and he has gone a few times at night right before his bath but nothing consistent. Usually when I ask him during the day he doesn't want to go or try. Well not anymore! Today he decided was the day and we have had undies on since breakfast when he told me he had to go and said he wanted 'race car undies' if he went. We have had a few accidents and a few successes. We will see what happens.
Yeah - so thats how crazy life is in a nutshell at 35 weeks here. Nine months pregnant with nowhere to put a baby, house a mess, no bags packed (yet) trying to potty train a two year old - no wonder my eye is twitching!
