Here I am, in all my glowing glory. (I’m running much hotter as time goes on. Here comes summer!) My Prenatal Cradle arrived, and I feel a significant improvement already.
Saturday morning we arose early (for us) at 8:00 to attend the graduation of our friend. She completed a Spanish translation/interpretation credentialing program. Then we went to shop for a crib mattress at Babies R Us; we didn’t purchase, but I believe we know what we want now. We scored some serious baby stuff too, worth around $400. A friend of a friend no longer needed the items, and they’d been gifts, so they were offered to us. We inherited a bouncer (since we live on three floors, multiples are appreciated), swing, play saucer, and bassinette.
In the evening, we took the graduate out to dinner at McCormick & Schmick’s, which served mucho tasty food at a relaxed pace. It reminded us of our favorite Austin restaurant, Mirabelle. It was a luxurious meal, probably the last of such indulgences (financially) for a long time. The budget must make room for baby.
And so, my mood is better and steady. The knee and hip pain is abating with the yoga (though no other exercise is occurring). I need to take the three hour glucose test soon. Husband does want to go with me, and his schedule is clear Thursday. I’ve been away from blogs for several days, so now I’m going to catch up on some reading.
How cute 🙂 Keep the photos coming
The prenatal cradle looks really comfy! I wish I’d known about that when I was pregnant. Sounds like you scored really well, too, with the baby goodies! It’s so nice when people are willing to share like that. 🙂
You look great. You really ARE glowing. Glad to hear that you’re feeling better. I’ll vote with Eden – keep the photos coming.
not to scare you… but I think you might have a baby on the way!
🙂
hang in there!
Life is amazing. So glad to see the photograph.
Kathryn, you are glowing–and I would say you have popped. I had never heard of a prenatal cradle but it looks comfy and helpful. I’m sorry you are experiencing as much discomfort as you are, but I know that you have wanted your baby so much that any amount of discomfort is worth it.
I think I have mentioned before that my youngest son and his wife had their 2 boys very early–30 and 32 weeks. She was on bedrest most of the second pregnancy. The boys are 4 and 2 1/2 now. My latest grandson was one in April.
I am so excited for you. I know I’ve told you before, but my greatest accomplishment in life was adopting and raising my three kids. All your nursery stuff sounds so wonderful and knowing how creative you are, I’m sure the room will be adorable!
My sister had that same glow when she was pregnant. 🙂
