Nesting...maybe a little

So first trimester exhaustion and nausea are gone and I have entered the honeymoon second trimester nesting phase.  

Today consisted of:

Bills paid

Laundry 

Re-potted the aloe plant

Cleaned top of the fridge

Wiped down cabinets in kitchen

Weeded part of the front flower bed

Sewed 2 pillows for my mom

Moved furniture around in boys rooms (Chris moved furniture out of the basement and I had to make room to store it upstairs...we moved a lot of stuff out of the basement in the buildings our back but some stuff we didn't want to get damaged in a shed like building) 

Oh and did I mention I had to care for the 2 boys and feed them and make dinner for us all. 

My back hurts! My arms hurt from pulling weeds and my  fingernails hurt from pulling on the fabric. Ok. Whining over.

Baby girl: 17 weeks

Poor 3rd child. Your brothers pregnmacies were documented each week and bump pictures were a requirement!  That hasn't meant I haven't thought about you or done things to prepare for your arrival.  

First trimester: nausea and exhaustion. Repeat. Every day. All day long. Chasing after your brothers while pregnant at 34 is a new adventure.  The heat made me nauseous, cooking made me nauseous and the only things that seemed to help where staying hydrated, continuous eating (which is hard when nothing sounds good) and chewing gum.  

Second trimester brought the joy of finding out you are a baby girl! We still may not believe it till we see it!! My energy has come back some and the nausea comes and goes and seems to be worse in the evenings.  

So here we are at 17 weeks. 

I am counting down the days till our next ultrasound which happens to be on my 35rh birthday so please be good for us in there!!  Anytime you want to let me feel those kicks would be nice too!
