Appointment Day

Well today I had my second two week appointment. This is how everything stands thus far. I measured between 28 and 29 weeks, which I thought was odd, because up until now I've messaured right on time, and Thursday I'll be 30 weeks. 10 more weeks!!! My feet have been really swollen. So the Doc told me to rest more, and stop being on my feet so much. It's just so hard to do that when I have inlaws coming and I have things that need to be done. Any other time I would be able to rest, but I seem to be a pain in the rear when someone forces me to rest. My weight gain is good, my blood pressure is great, so they aren't worried about anything. Also, I've been having braxton hicks thoughout the days. Which the doc said is completly normal, which I knew that anyways, I just didn't know what they felt like, now I do. It didn't hurt, it was just a small pain, in my back and my tummy got rock hard. Which I've been having these for the past few days at least, but doc told me not to worry, that all was fine. :)
Matthew and I start our first birthing class tonight at 7 pm. I'm so excited. I got the last spot in the class, and another bonus they are free. Yes, we have to drive 30 minutes away, but we couldn't afford paying the amount the nearest town wanted. So, we got these. They are the same thing, but for free. :) I'm pretty excited about doing it. Can't wait to see what I can learn, and how it's going to go.
My inlaws are coming in Thursday night, so I've been getting the house in order for them. Cleaning, laundry, making sure things stay cleaned. It's been a pretty hard job, but I've been doing pretty good so far I think. They aren't leaving til Sunday morning, so we have them all weekend, which we only have one thing planned. Taking them out to dinner one night to a grea BBQ place in Sedaila! We love the place and hope they do too.
Well, Matthew got me a body pillow, and I'll be the first to tell you, I slept wonderful last night. Didn't move much, Elijah didn't even move much. I woke up a few times because I could tell I was on my back, but other than that no pain at all. I slept all night, got up this morning at 6am and have been going ever since. I've drank a gallon of water today, and Elijah's been moving all aorund. So, all is well in the Mandy Flippen tummy.
Hope you enjoyed this update. Sorry it's been so long, just been busy, and tired because lack of sleep. Now I'm off to go cook dinner and hopefully hubby will be home soon! Hope everyone has a great rest of the day! :)
