Thursday, April 15th; We are 31 Weeks & 2 Days Pregnant ~ Only 61 Days to Go!


Yesterday (Wednesday) was a quiet day I suppose. I woke up really early AM and pretty much just sat around all day..... LoL I did accomplish some minimal housecleaning (mostly dishes..) since my feet/ankles were feeling pretty good :)!

Today (Thursday) I had a DRs appointment today which had it's ups and downs. I was supposed to have the appt at 10am, but it was SO ridiculously packed in the PCAP clinic that I didn't even get seen until 1pm. I saw the nutritionist just to check on how I'm doing food/weight wise; she was fairly satisfied. I saw the social worker because she wanted to check how I'm "feeling" and wanted to find out what kind of "support system" I have (due to my history of Bi-Polar). They're all stressed out that I will get a really horrible case of Post-Postpartum Depression; but she was satisfied to know that Erik & my parents all know my history and what signs to watch out for, plus that I have a good support system for the first few months (lots of helping hands) LoL. Finally got called in to see the Nurse around 130pm for vitals: I gained 3lb instead of 2 but they said it was "OK" and my BP was good which made them happy. The "doctor" aka- Nurse Practitioner finally came in to see me and give me some results on all the blood they stole last time (they took like 4 vials!): Toxicology was clean, Negative for GD, Negative for all the HIV/STD stuff, & my Blood Count/ Iron levels were "perfect". Listened to the baby's heartbeat and she said he sounds "great, Loud & Clear". She did say that I am measuring about a week big (said the same thing last time...) so she gave me a referral for another Sonogram. I was like "YESSSS!!!!!!!" I really want another one, but they only can give one if you "need" it, and apparently measuring big makes them a little nervous, so they want to find out just how big he is... SO I get to have another Sono on 4/30 (I'm going to try to get pictures again!!!! And I can't wait to see my little boy! AHHHHHHHHH!!!) LoL.

Then I hit the dinner over there because I love that place, I'm so becoming a regular, HeHe! Had an absolutely DELICIOUS burger w/ *gasp* waffle fries (hey.. give me SOME credit, I drank like 5 glasses of water with it... AND I didn't dip mayo like I was SO tempted to do....)

Then I drove out to Massapequa; Erik was on the road so I just parked, opened up the windows and took a nap it was great! Lmao. Unfortunatly Erik is... I can't even say he's in a bad mood, he's just in a bad place right now, so I only got to spend like 20min with him, but that's ok; the trip is TOTALLY worth it to me as long as I can have a hug and I got more than one :)!

Turns out it's a good thing he sent me home, because it's a Thursday which means it's Dad's late night at work and I had to cook dinner. So I took a few small chicken cutlets, breaded them with some seasoning & broiled that with fresh lemon on it. Served it with ziti pasta with just a little extra light olive oil & some more fresh lemon :) Came out pretty damn good if I do say so! Then the last of my brownies from the other day for desert! (They were really small brownies, and they'r fairly healthy as brownies go.. made from scratch with Olive oil instead of butter & cocoa powder rather than chocolate!)

I spoke to Vicky, she is offering me Megan's old crib (I'll see what kind of shape Erik thinks it's in, if he's says it looks good I'll go for it; I have no problems with hand-me-downs! LoL) & she said Megan doesn't mind skipping visiting her dad the Sunday of the shower (awe omg!) so the two of them will come YAY. She's like family to Erik, well not like she just IS family to Erik. Which by association now makes her like family to me :) Plus I consider her & Megan to be my friends so I was really hoping they would come ^_^! Got Erik to hand deliver Karen's invitation too since I FINALLY remembered to ask him for her last name! Spoke to Erik on the phone just before for a few min which was nice as always :) I love that man!

Tomorow I have baking to do BIG TIME (Challah and perhaps some more brownies... or chocolate chip cookies.. I haven't decided which yet :P) Erik has Bronx & Maspeth tomorow so he said he'll try to drop by; we shall see. :)
