Health Group- Year 2, week 39

Hi all. I have a sinus infection today. Last night and today have been rough. I feel awful.

Nate did some packing today. And he cut the grass, hopefully for the last time :-).

That was a happy thought. Our yard takes at least 2 hours to mow, and it isn’t a fun mow. Very uneven, with spontaneous holes and dips everywhere. Only some of which are due to the dog’s “puppy” years.

So we got a bit done today. The weather was gorgeous. I made really big lists. I think I’m finally coming to grips with the fact that I’m going to have a baby. I took the car seat off the wall in the garage and removed the cover for washing. I’ve started looking at those “what to take to the hospital” lists online, and have begun making my own.

I think I’m ready to go shopping for diapers, wipes, ointment, onesies, etc.

And I’ve started to feel a little more pressure down south. Accompanied by crippling shots of pain in the far right side of my butt. So maybe he’s thinking about preparing to come out, too?

I’ve been reading about belly mapping and such on this website that Jen from the comments linked awhile ago. (Thank you, it’s fascinating). And I’ve started doing 40 pelvic tilts on my hands and knees twice a day to help “position” junior. It may be a bit premature, as he’s not engaged in my pelvis yet, but I figure, what the heck? He does feel less sideways to me now. And I’m feeling more of a uniformity in the center of my abdomen, that I would guess is his back.

I’m going to start looking at/for jogging strollers for when I’m recovered enough to walk the new neighborhood. Any suggestions? My trouble with strollers has always been that they seem to be made exclusively for short people. I always have to slouch in an uncomfortable way to push them. It sucks.

I’ve never had a jogging stroller before.

So that’s it for me. How are you?

Stupid sinus infection.
