Met the Dr again yesterday. Our baby is super healthy, in the 65th percentile for size and 100% on leg length, thanks to Sean. Baby is still very active but mostly head down, constantly crushing my bladder with its sweet little noggin. Then those grasshoppers legs get kicking like its swimming the english channel.
Got the babys room painted and took inventory of my supplies, lots of newborn stuff that might never be worn depending on how big this kid is, hopefully teeny tiny.
I've been sewing up a storm, getting some things ready for this squirmy little body. Check it out, gotta love pinterest!
so baby is almost 3 pounds, puts us in the 65th percentile. The tech was surprised at how active our baby is. She had to chase it around to get proper measurements. Stinker had its hands covering most of its face, so we only saw a chin, nose and mouth.
Super busy day at the shop today. Thank god for Jordan and Ginny! Even crazier tomorrow even with the pending blizzard I'm sure, er, I hope.
Baby is growing! New baby doctor seems great. She has scheduled us for another ultrasound on feb 13, of all days. Went ice fishing, totally skunked, but the babes seemed to think it fun.
We are busy doing inventory, maintenance and new displays at the shop. It's tiring. Sean us helping me today and Debbie helped set up new displays the other day.
Fran was down assisting sean with basement wiring. While Debbie and I worked on clearing more junk out of the baby room and organizing the storage in there. Getting there.
Meanwhile little squirt keeps on kicking amd rolling around. My basketball sized uterus is actually 2 cm further along than the norm. I went and did the gestational diabetes test yesterday. Today I feel a little off, as if I have a cold coming on.
We had a wonderful meal last night. Early in the morning Rachie was not appreciating it quite as much. We learned that food poisoning while pregnant is ten times worse. She hasn't been able to keep anything down. I feel pretty helpless. I went and did some research on Baby Bump and am now just trying to keep her hydrated. Water, gatorade, vitamin water, and orange juice. She is feeling better but still struggling. We are laying in bed watching The Price Is Right and making fun of the contestants. She is laughing at my blog post so she must be feeling a little better.
Augh. Too bad I was so sick for our last full day. I blew a couple blood vessels on my eye. Yuck.
Our last morning I felt much better. My wonderful hubby took excellent care of me and our baby. We spent our last morning with Schmidts at the pool, soaking up the last rays.
Dad picked us up at the airport last night, first time not getting searched!
Thank you to Dad for looking after the dogs, fish, flower shop and our house while we were away. It was a huge relief to know he is here keeping an eye on things. (Like keeping Sara out of doggy jail)
Nice to be home.
Definitely seans baby. As soon as this kid hears the noise of the buffet he starts kicking in anticipation.
Today we went out on the cool runnings tour. Started with a bus trip to ocho rios with ken on bus 430. Ken fancied himself a dj of sorts and entertained us with local insights and sexy jamaican music about booties and big bamboo. I liked the rum and redbull song too.
The cool.running catamaran was a big boat which they piled with people looking for a good time. The sun was unrelenting as horde upon horde of people came down the pier. We weren't underway for long before the heavens opened up and it poured! Everyone scurried inside, leaving sean and I alone with the deck to ourselves. It was warm rain, so why not?
We anchored near the reef and we jumped in and fought the current and crashing waves to enjoy the aqualife. The reef wasn't very healthy but we did see a nice variety of fish before it got way too crowded. Poor Sean was pushed onto the rocks a couple times.
Back on board and cruised to dunns river falls. It was a lot of fun. The fresh water felt so good. It poured rain the entire time we were climbing the falls, so much for the people who opted to stay dry. We slid down into deep pools, fell backward into pools, and climbed up as a big human chain. A couple from edmonton was on their Babymoon too. Due may 19. Funny.
The cruise back was a booze cruise. The catamaran crashed along the huge swells as rum soaked bikini clad folks danced and lurched on the dock.
Home with 5 minutes to spare for our spanish dinner reservations. Wow. It was amazing presentation, delicious food and superb service. Baby loves fine dining and the whole day in general.
Now, to sleep.
Woke up in the night a couple times, all in a panic about the flower shop. What needs to be done when we get back, things I forgot to do before we left. Oh well.
Schmidt's arrived tuesday night. Rye was so content for hours yesterday playing bar tender. He poured cups of water back and forth while standing shin deep in the pool. He's gonna take over the tastings when he's older apparently.
Little babes is still super active and often interactive with us. We are 23 weeks along and my uterus is as big as a soccer ball! Baby is mango sized which makes no sense since last week she was as big as a spaghetti squash.??
