This week was pretty busy. It started with my 30 week check-up on Monday. On the drive there, the doctor's office called me to tell me that the doctor had been called away to deliver a baby. Since it was just a routine check-up, they said I could keep the appointment and just see the nurse if I wanted. That was fine with me. Lauryn came with us and she was really excited to hear the baby's heartbeat again. She's heard it at home, with my doppler, but it's different at the doctor's office. You don't need the earbuds and it's really loud there. She thought that was cool. His heartbeat was at 146 bpm. and he measured at 31 weeks. Lloyd had to work late so Lauryn and I went to Taco Bell for dinner. We ran into J.J. and Millie there :) It was really nice to see them. We need to plan a get together soon! Later in the evening, I spent some time going through all of Lauryn's baby clothes and getting things organized to give away.
Tuesday was the only day we stayed home and I played catch up all day. The kitchen counters and bar had become catch alls and I wanted to get it back in order. Then it was on to laundry, bathrooms and sweeping. Our vacuum broke a couple of days before so that had to wait but the rest of the house was looking pretty good.
On Wednesday, Lauryn and I went to Greenville to get a new vacuum. We picked up a few other things and then headed home. On the way, we stopped in at the vet's office to pick up some paperwork on Cloz'r's last shots. Lloyd called and surprised me by telling me that we were getting new mattresses delivered that night. I hadn't slept well in quite some time and figured it was the pregnancy just as much as it was the well-worn mattress we'd been sleeping on. I was excited to get new mattresses though, hoping it would help some. Once Lauryn and I got back home, we vacuumed the whole house, she loves to help with that, and got the truck loaded up with boxes of clothes to take over for my sweet little niece, Emma. We visited with my sister-in-law and niece for a little while but Lauryn ended up hitting her head pretty hard on the coffee table and she wanted to go home after that. I kept an eye on her and she seemed to be doing fine but I was still a little worried because she hit her head so hard. Lloyd got home, we ate dinner and shortly after that, our mattress and box spring were delivered. They are great! They are really tall and I have to climb up them to get into bed. I noticed right away how much more comfortable I was able to get.
When I woke up Thursday morning, I couldn't believe how good my body felt and how much rest I actually got. Other than getting up to use the restroom a few times, I slept well! Lauryn and I had breakfast and then got ready to take Cloz'r to the vet. With Cloz'r's hips bothering her, I wasn't sure she'd be able to get into the truck by herself and since I'm in no condition to lift her, I was nervous that we might not make the appointment. Luckily, she jumped right in and we were ready to go. Cloz'r got updated on all of her shots and her heartworm medicine and then we headed over to my friend Jen's house to pick up a yummy beer bread mix she had for me. We went home after that, ate and then headed to the store to pick up a few things for dinner. Lauryn was pretty tired and took a nap as soon as we got back. I got things ready for dinner and did a little laundry.
This morning we got an estimate on lawn care and I'm finishing up the last of the laundry...although it never really is finished! Then Lauryn and I are going to take the truck to the carwash to vacuum it. Cloz'r left quite a bit of hair in it yesterday! I've got some bbq chicken in the crock pot for dinner and I'm going to whip up a pasta salad in a little bit. This afternoon, my mom is going to come over after work and we're going to Greenville. She's going to keep Lauryn occupied while I have an eye appointment. It's time for a new prescription and new glasses. Then we're doing a little shopping before coming home to have dinner.
