With a petite body and short torso, baby has nowhere to go but out.
Curious to see how big bumpie will be at the end🤪
Good Morning and happy Monday! Jim took Thor to the vet for a check-up this morning. Everything looks great and he is now allowed to play and go to the spa or whatever else he’d like:) We have to bring him back in a month or so and check for stones again cause they can come back but for now he is ok. The stitches has healed really well, we should probably done this surgery a year ago but oh well. We haven’t put the cone on him for several days now actually cause we noticed the first time we let it be off for a bit (to let his neck rest a little while supervised) that he didn’t seem to care or even know that he had stitches to lick so we just kept it off and he’s been fine. He does have a lot of energy though and he’s been grabbing his toys for playtime but we of course couldn’t before his check-up. We have been out for longer walks this weekend though which he enjoyed:)
Had a doctors appointment on Thursday. I’m 33 weeks now and the fundal height of the bump was 33, so measures just fine and heart beat is still around 155-160. In my last report it said “presentation: cephalic” so I of course double checked with this obgyn and yup, baby’s head is down. It must have been down for quite awhile too, cause the bump has been shaped like this since January. I have a terrible itch that burns and hurts (but no rash) on the very top of bumpie and lotions doesn’t help, so I did two blood tests to check on my liver (I had read about something called “itching liver” which it said is more common in Scandinavians, so I had to ask since it can be dangerous to the baby). Results came back normal so I guess it is just stretching skin and my anterior placenta that is being annoying, so I have to just suffer through this til the end. Other than that, everything is perfect with me and baby. I’m getting quite big and a bit clumsy but that’s expected:)
Tuesday-Friday we had really nice spring weather here in CT. I went for walks by myself and sat outside in the park. Premiere on our terrace as well. I’ve been waiting for this! My winter maternity coat is getting smaller and smaller so I need it to turn into spring soon haha. And from nice spring weather we went back to winter over night. Colder and super windy. And yesterday it was even snowing for a few minutes (while it was 9°c/48°f outside, weird), but then back to sunny and dry streets. Today the temperature are around freezing. I have so much to cross off my todo list today anyway so I guess I stay inside:)
We didn’t do much this weekend. I had plans to clean the apartment and organize the spaces for baby but I was more or less a couch potato. We did go for walks and I started to wash baby’s clothes but no cleaning, no cooking (take-out for every meal for three days) and no organizing. But that’s ok…or, kinda ok, it just means more to do today. Jim was nice to vacuum the apartment earlier, not very well but I appreciate that he did it:) I have been a busy bee all day and I am nowhere near done. So, bye!
Jimmy went to the police station on Tuesday and got the car seat installed. The car seat adapters for the stroller also arrived so we tested it out, here with Teddy in it:)
Reading on the terrace

Made Swedish chocolate balls this weekend, they didn’t last long 😛
