We are getting there, but we have a long way to go! The electrician came and rewired the entire house last week leaving us with a safe if dirty home. They had to rewire each light fixture, wall outlet and light switch. Plus they had to cut holes in the wall above some of the outlets, move existing switches, etc. All of this adds up to a lot of dirt on our floors and holes in our walls that we now get to patch up. We are just trying to get as much done and in place before Reese arrives! We need a peaceful house to bring her home.
I saw Dr. Firpo last week and she ordered me to continue resting and only working up to 4 hours a day from home. She thinks I am measuring big, so it's good that I've got the ultrasound scheduled on January 15th. We can't wait to see more pics of Reese and find out just how big she is getting! I'll see Dr. Firpo again tomorrow. The ankle swelling comes and goes; right now I'm swollen and feeling some pressure in my lower abdomen; not during the contractions though, so maybe Reese is dropping. We'll see what the doc says tomorrow. I'm still having the Braxton-Hicks contractions fairly often, so I take my medicine every 12 hours. The painful contractions are infrequent, but I did have few last night/today. I am starting to feel big...huge!
Matt had to work most of the day Saturday and Sunday morning, and I had a breastfeeding class on Saturday. We worked on the house Saturday night; Matt hung our dining room curtains and pictures. Matt also took Reese's furniture out of the boxes; it's really cute. We are both ready to get her room done. We are just trying to take it one room at a time.
This week will mark 35 weeks! Wow; only 5 more to go! I pray that Reese will hang on that long, and we can get everything done by then.
