Adventures at 16 Weeks

So my last post was really from last week.  I had a panic moment and couldn't decide what to call my blog and I just held onto my post until I figured it out.  I'll probably change it, but for now it will get the job done.

So I'm at 16 weeks now, and went in for my check up this afternoon.  I got to hear little Rudy's heartbeat, but that's about it.  Some blood work to check for anemia, but nothing too exciting.  In four more weeks, we get to have our next sonogram so we can find out if we are having a boy or a girl! I don't have a picture for this week - I keep forgetting.

Last night I had a weird surge of energy and talked Josh into helping me clean out the guest room.  We got rid of our extra queen sized bed and all the stuff that has been taking up space in there, so now it's just empty and waiting to be decorated!  I wanted to tell my doctor that I was having some weird pains to see if they would do a sonogram on me today, but I didn't want to jinx anything and put bad vibes out for Rudy :)  Patience.  Just a little patience and then I can decorate!

I've decided that pregnancy brain is definitely real.  I think I have more sympathy for my ADD friends in my classroom now.  Last night while I was cleaning, I would start one thing, see something else, start working on that, realize I had something else going, and just basically wandered around in circles between five different activities going on at once.  I don't know how many times I've put clothes in the dryer and not actually turned it on, and I hear that it only gets worse.  A teacher told me at school last week that this is the smartest I'll ever be.  Awesome.  Good luck future students!

Last week I tripped and fell on the steps at school.  Luckily, I was only four from the bottom, and in a moment of genius, I decided mid stumble that since I wasn't going to land correctly anyway, I should just jump.  I'm fine, Rudy's fine, but I landed on my knees and just got a little bruise.  To end it all nicely, I yelled "Shit!" just as a kid was rounding the corner.  I guess I didn't really yell it, because I don't think he heard me, but still.  Whoever was monitoring the hallway camera probably got a good laugh.  You're welcome security guy.  You're welcome.
