Monday
I woke up after about 4 hours of sleep. I had been coughing and tossing and turning all night. I was not feeling all that great but the day had much going on and no time to be sick.
It started with dr. appt. #1, where we met with a genetic counselor about the possible exposure to Fifth Disease through Lukin's school. Thankfully, the blood work was negative because my titer (titre) was high enough (whatever that means). But we did get a level two ultrasound out of the deal. We found out that the baby is about 5 lbs 4 oz. and everything looks good. We even got to see the little squished up face and it looked like when you squish your face against a window. Cute!
Then we went to lunch at Osaka with the inlaws and Lukin for Sonny's birthday. That was fun. And filling as usual. Then we went back to the inlaws for cake and gifts.
When we left there, we got a call that my car was finished, so we went to pick that up before coming home to drop it off before heading to the second dr. appt. of the day. Got my shot and then headed home to pack.
Dropped off an overnight bag for Lukin at Mimi and Papa's and then headed to Treasure Island overnight for Sonny's birthday. That was pretty fun (even though I was pretty exhausted by this point).
Tuesday
Woke up early on Tuesday morning (where I found myself to have had a good night sleep because I woke up on my back. Thank you Tylenol PM and the new pillowtop bed in the new wing of the hotel!) Got ready. Grabbed some early lunch before heading back to the cities.
Once back in the cities, got changed and organized to head over to an interview. I wasn't nervous for it because I still wasn't feeling 100%. I think that made for an "easier" feeling interview, actually.
After the interview we had to (try to) hurry home (in the beginnings of rush hour traffic) to get Lukin before grabbing a quick bite and heading up to St. Paul (at the end of rush hour) for the big brother class that he was signed up for. That was fun. And cute. Now Woof-Woof has a diaper on and has to be wrapped up like we practiced at class last night.
Wednesday
Today was finally a more laid back day except that we had to go do a little shopping after Sonny got home from work. Then we went to Party America. Then we came home and the boys took a little nap. I tried to wake them at 4:45. Lukin was not ready to wake up and cried bloody murder from about 5:00 until we walked out the door at 5:25. He was still tired.
We went and ate at church with Papa before heading to the MOA for 3 year pictures tonight (can you even believe it?!?). He was so well-behaved. And happy. Not at all like the kid that woke up from the nap at 5:00. (Or the kid we took for pictures last year.) It was actually fun.
So now we are up to speed. Tomorrow is just Lukin's class and hopefully another restful day. I hope to get well rested enough to feel better and work some more. But I should have suspected that I would get sick when the job finished last Friday. That always happens to me, when something big and stressful finishes, I get sick (like the end of a college semester, or the end of a school year, things like that.)

Yay!! 3-year pictures....can't wait to get some! :) Also, glad to hear that woof-woof is helpful in this learning to be a big brother stage....aren't you glad we got him that? I know I am! :)
You can take Tylenol PM when you're pregnant? I did not know that! Take care!
Yeah. When I went in for my first dr. appt. of the pregnancy, it was like confession for a Catholic for me. I told her every minute thing that I could think of that may have an effect on the baby, and the fact that I had taken Tylenol PM once was one of them. I think she probably thought I was insane for how petty the list probably seemed to her, but I just wanted to be honest. But she told me it was okay and that it would probably come in handy in the 3rd trimester when it became more uncomfortable to sleep.
Confessing your sins to a priest is the most humbling experience ever. Keeps me in line, mostly.
Just saying.
Good to know. I talked to mom last night and she told me you ask your dr. about everything you might be unsure of, so you had probably asked about that. That makes me feel better!
