Mid-week update

I sent my doppler back yesterday! I haven't been using it much lately with all the kicking going on. But I do get nervous when Monkey hasn't moved in a while and now I can't check on "her" when that happens. Deep breaths. I will be strong and stay positive.

I think I'm having Braxton Hicks contractions. Sometimes I can't tell if that's what it is or if it's just Monkey flipping around. But my lower belly gets tight every now and then and stays that way for a few minutes. But there is no defined end to the tightening. I very very slowly fizzles out and I realize "hey, it's not tight anymore". It happens the most after I've been on my feet for a while. An hour is pretty much my limit. Then I have to go lie down for a while for the tightness to go away. I've gotten to the point where I cannot run errands on days that I work. I have to wait for a day off. And standing thru Liturgy in church is becoming impossible. I haven't called the Dr. about it because they have been going away after a rest. But I am going to ask him at my appointment on Monday what the deal might be.

And don't tell Justin, but I'm getting him this for his birthday in February:

He is IMPOSSIBLE to buy for. But I know he REALLY wants a monkey costume for Monkey. Not just for Halloween...OH NO. My crazy husband wants to dress the baby in it whenever he goes out. I've imposed an "only when I am not with you and it isn't too hot for a furry costume" stipulation. If he want's to look like a moron lugging around a baby in a monkey suit that's fine by me. As long as I'm not the one looking like a moron. I'm going to buy the 6-12 month size so baby Monkey will be in it roughly October-March. That should give him Halloween and plenty of cool weather days for this foolishness. ::shakes head::

Am I a good wife or what?
