I have had a tiring week. I didn't sleep well between waking to pee every half hour and fighting the cats to stay out of the crib. SD2 came over Tuesday night, which was amazing, of course, but once I settled down to sleep I started having menstrual cramps in my back, and Braxton Hicks in my front. I managed to sleep through it, and the next day the cramps were better, but I still had BH frequently. I took it easy at work, and drank lots of water.
My female cat, Bear, hasn't been sleeping in my room lately, she is only interested in running outside. I forced her to come to bed Wednesday night, and she went right to the crib. I sprayed her with water, and she ran away. I awoke at 5 a.m. to her throwing up, which is normal for her. However, I realized that she was in the crib throwing up. She managed to throw up all over Montana's new Build-a-Bear, which was wearing baby clothes, and also got a bit of the car seat. I was livid. Bear survived, lucky for her, but I do not want her in there anymore.
Thursday night I took Montana swimming, and that was incredible. It felt amazing on my belly, and my whole body. It relaxed me beyond belief--I have never felt so relaxed. I slept wonderfully that night, and into the afternoon. I think I will be doing that often!
Friday afternoon, after I finally got out of bed after my swim-coma, and went for my gestational diabetes test. Yuck! They took two vials right off the bat, then I had to drink the torturous sugar-filled gag-inducer, wait an hour, and then they took one more vial. I am praying I pass, because I do not want to do that again!
The weekend has been good, still having BH but nothing serious. Nemo is starting to stick out feet when I have my hands resting on my belly, which is amusing! Baby is getting very strong. I just hope s/he stays in another couple months!
