Busy Week

We used our gift cert. to the Samoset this past weekend for a belated Valentines day celebration. We had a great time, except I didn't bring my prego pillow, seeing as it is huge and not the cleanest right now. Huge mistake. I slept horribly, or I should say Jason slept horribly, I didn't sleep. The bed was beautifully made up with feather pillows and comforters, very luxurious, just not if you're 7 months pregnant. We had gotten a package that was for the room and for 2 meals. The deal was that you got 2 salads or chowder, 2 entrees of your choice, 2 desserts and 2 non-alcoholic beverages. We took full advantage by getting the 2 most expensive things on the menu. Jason had the Samoset steak and I had the steamed lobster for a $5 surcharge. Totally worth it. They even picked it for me and brought it out in a little casserole dish already in butter!!! Yummy. The food was fantastic but we were too full for dessert, not to worry though. They packaged it up for us and we brought it home. The next morning we had the buffet at Marcel's which was also very tasty. I didn't realize that we also had a gift cert. for the famous Sunday brunch at Marcel's so we may go back at some point when we feel the need to get away. I think we might be able to find a babysitter or 2. ; )


I had my 28 week OB appt. today with one of the other Dr.s in the group, Dr. Commons. Very nice guy. I will get to meet at least 2 other Dr.s before the end, in case Dr. Shanahan isn't available for the delivery. Alexander is growing quite well and his heart sounds good. I gained 6 lbs. this month, my BP was 128/64, he forgot to tell me how much my belly measured, but it is way bigger. You can even see Alex bumping around in there now. He is very active. All the blood work came back normal, not anemic, no gestational diabetes. Yeah!! My blood glucose was 105, normal is 70-140. I also got my Rh immuglobin shot today so I don't have to worry about that again until after birth. I have been having some lower back and hip pain, all normal, things are just moving around getting ready for the big show. This was my last monthly appt. from now on I go every 2 weeks. Only 11 1/2 weeks until the big arrival!! It's funny to be counting down. : )
