Baby Arlo, Mallory, Pregnancy

22-week-Eve

Here we are on the eve of 22 weeks. My lower back has been having some issues (like sharp stabbing pain) and my right ankle continues to blow up like crazy by the end of the day, so those are both fun. At least my heartburn is under control, thanks to the Zan.tac.

The baby is moving like CRAZY; it’s seems as though once I could feel it move all bets are off! I think s/he had hiccups today because I was feeling spaced out movements that would be consistent with hiccups.

Mallory went down FABULOUSLY for bedtime AGAIN tonight. I don’t know what happened but this was night five (in a ROW!!) of the easiest bedtimes since she moved into her toddler bed in mid-September.

I thought I would give her a treat tomorrow night and let her sleep in my bed and watch Monster’s Inc but I don’t want to undo whatever good thing we have going this week. We have swim class tomorrow night so we’ll be home late and won’t have our normal routine anyway so I guess we’ll see what happens.

The renter chick never showed today. So either I had the wrong day (unlikely) or she changed her mind (likely). The silver lining is that my house is clean (for now). However, I plan on unpacking all my scrap stuff tomorrow night or Saturday morning and really trying to bang out progress now that the work is almost done upstairs (my goal is to be caught up scrap-wise by the time Arlo arrives). We will continue to try to rent this house out but with the holidays coming up I am not sure how much interest we will get. You know I’ll keep you posted. :-)
