Been so busy trying to paint. I decided to re-do the kids' rooms completely and finally get Bennett out of Tiler's room and into Malikai's. not sure if I am really looking forward to that though. I am unable to paint very much cause their rooms are upstairs so I need someone to be downstairs with them and I really have no one to watch them, that is until Justin gets home from work and by that time its dinner time. so then I have to quick paint and hope it dries before its time for them to go to bed. Doesnt leave me much time ::sigh::
I keep thinking I will be in labor trying to finish everything up!
2 days ago I went on a cleaning frenzy. Cleaned the whole house. on my hands and knees cleaning baseboards, the whole bit. My house needed it so bad too. It feels good to have a clean house, well a cleaner house.
Here is another thing I have been dealing with for the past week:
Bennett broke his shin bone. It was minutes before bed time and he was helping pick up toys when all of a sudden out of the corner of my eye I seen him fall and he started crying. He wouldnt put no pressure on his leg and when he tried he would just fall over. We think it was a combination of him wearing footy pajamas and a couple toys on the floor. Its a mystery!
Took him to the ER right away and they took xrays and confirmed it was broke. At first we didnt think it was broke (maybe a sprain at most) cause at the ER he was moving it all over, sitting on it etc.. so we were shocked to find out it was indeed broke. The ER put that lovely full leg cast on him. it was so heavy, ugly (it was white), and it was not waterproof. Bath time was horrendous to say the least.
We had a followup appt yesterday with the specialist where they did an xray to make sure it was healing properly and they ended up putting a new, smaller (a little below his knee), cuter (its black) and waterproof cast on. They even gave him a little shoe to wear cause he was constantly falling on our wood floors. I was so afraid he was going to break another bone!
He is such a trooper about the whole thing. He goes back in 4 weeks (the day before im due), to get another xray and possibly get the cast off!!
Here he is today:
I had an appt with Susan yesterday. Her assistant (and doula) Kristi came over as well. She helped out with Tiler's birth too. She was suppose to be here for Bennett's birth but she had just gotten married and was on her honeymoon. I *think* she came back the morning I had Bennett, so she missed it by a few hours :)
anyway, everything looks great still. Up 4 more pounds, 41 pounds with her scale. 39 pounds with mine. Either way its not *too* bad considering I am having cravings really bad again. baby is still head down, still pretty high though. Bennett was like that until minutes before I had to start pushing lol. Heartbeat was 148. She thinks I am going to have another 9lber. I think bigger, but I thought that with Bennett too and he was 9lbs even. We will see!
She comes back in 2 weeks.
Here is a 36 week pic, taken today :)
