April 18th

That's the day of my next OB appt and Ultrasound!!!! It's at 9am in the morning so I won't have to wait the whole day anticipating the appt, although, I will have the next month to anticipate it, so that's long enough. I was hoping they would schedule my ultrasound before my next monthly OB appt so I wouldn't have to wait until I was 20 weeks along but no such luck and this makes sense anyway so it works out good because it will be all in one trip. R and Little man will be going so we can all find out the sex of the baby together :o)

Yesterday my appt went well except for the fact that I had to wait for 45 minutes to even get in to see the dr. That is usually why I never schedule late in the afternoon appts, but I had no choice. I had gained 1 pound and my BP was 112/70, which was a little high for me, but still well within normal range. Everything looked good, the baby's heart rate was 142-144. The dr had a hard time getting the number because the baby kept moving around. I got my paper to go get my AFP drawn, so that's on the agenda for today. All my tests I had last time came back normal so I was happy about that. The visit lasted about 10 minutes once I finally got in there to see the dr. Oh well it was actually time I got to just sit and relax so I cannot complain about that.

Little man and I are making Easter basket cupcakes today. R had the day off from work because he always likes to catch all the tournament games. He's getting his haircut today and then going to the dr for a check up. I can't believe it's already Easter, it's totally snuck up on me. I at least bought everything I needed for Little man's Easter basket so that's all done. R's mom sent a bunch of crap for Little man for Easter and I just get so annoyed because she asked if she could buy him something little so I suggested the Chu.tes and Lad.ders game because it's $5 at the most and he really enjoys playing games. She instead bought the game, 2 expensive books, and a crap load of little presents that he doesn't need. I'm still debating what to do because I hate crap and cheap toys around the house. I really wish she'd spend her money elsewhere instead of on crap. It's fine to get a little something and I guess I can be thankful it's not candy, but damn he's got like 15 different presents to open for EASTER, it's not even like it's his birthday. It also takes away from whatever we buy for him because we tend to be more conservative about holidays. I can see going a little over the top at Christmas and his birthday, but Easter????? Mavbe I'm totally out of line, what would you do if you were in this situation?
