bullets

1. because there just isn't enough time in the day
2. i don't really think anyone reads this

* dr. appointment on friday at 24 weeks went well: vinnie is still growing perfectly, heartbeat strong, wiggling around more and more

* i mentioned my paranoia over premature rupturing of membranes from all my coughing, etc. and that my water ruptured and is slowly leaking out. my dr. politely smiled and did a test to double check...it is what it is...my paranoia and nothing more. fluid is in tact.

* because of said paranoia after waiting 4 weeks in between appointments, i will start my every two week appointments at 26 weeks instead of 30.

* got my lab slips for my 1-hour glucose to do at 28 weeks along with a lab slip for yet another 24-hour urine.

* i've only gained 6 pounds so far (in 6 months). gained 4, lost 2 and have now gained those 2 back.

* sleep is hit or miss: usually miss

* heartburn is becoming a nightmare and goes along with the sleeping issues

* there is so much to do at home to prepare for vinnie's arrival and complete tony's new room, i just don't know how it's going to get done. my goal for tony's room is before his birthday (november 9) and vinnie's room by thanksgiving.

* an artist friend of mine that i work with just dropped off some renderings of artwork for the walls in vinnie's room to tie the theme of the room/bedding and color scheme already in the room together. i'll have to scan those pictures in. she's going to do some painting in t's room too. both rooms. for free. in exchange for some beginner piano lessons for herself. i'm stoked!

i guess that's it for now. i promise a more exciting post to come. one a with a little less whining in it.
