22 weeks

This week seemed to be a pretty standard week. I had hoped this week would be our first shot at getting back into a full blown routine after Christmas break, but when I went to pick Karsen up from daycare on Monday, I noticed his eyes looked really tired and he had some discharge coming from both eyes. Both are signs are pink eye. UGH! AGAIN?! He just had it a few months ago and it looked like he had it again. Luckily, once he hit the 18 month mark, he was big enough to be taken into Urgent Care at CVS, so I brought him home, gave him dinner, then headed to CVS. Bruce met us there to get us "in line" but luckily there was no one ahead of us, so we walked right in. Karsen clearly knew this was a place he had never been before, because he was very agitated and clinging. One might assume it was because he wasn't feel well, but once we left CVS, he wanted to run around and play. Either way, we got a prescription for his pink eye and an ear infection. I have to wonder if he REALLY had an ear infection because he was acting totally normal with the exception of his eyes. No tugging at his ears or anything. Oh well. We are still giving him the meds for both just in case. He stayed home from daycare on Tuesday so the hope of getting back into a full swing routine, was shot. Oh well. He returned to daycare on Wednesday and stayed all week. His pink eye is gone and I am assuming so is the ear infection.

Because the weather was so nice on Wednesday and Thursday, I made sure to get him outside to play a little. Thursday, we even went to the park. Here are some pics.

He would get in the tunnel that lead to the curly slide, but never went down that slide. 

Another slide he enjoyed sitting on top of, but he never made his way down. The only slide he would go down had the waves in it. 

Our little daredevil started to climb this, but only made it up those first few rungs before he realized he was in over his head. Haha. 

And below is the bump picture. Hopefully the white background makes it easier to see it grow. Yikes! It's getting there!

How far along? 22 weeks. The baby is the size of Spaghetti Squash.

Total weight gain: I haven't weighed myself since last week. I wouldn't be surprised if I gained a solid 5 pounds this week. I've been eating sweets like they're going out of style. Sheesh.

Maternity clothes: Still the maternity jeans and I've started incorporating more maternity tops into my wardrobe for school. And like last week, still squeezing into my tshirts!

Sleep: Sleep is ok. The last few nights I haven't slept the greatest but neither has Karsen...so I think we are still all trying to get back on the rockin sleep schedule we had before Christmas break.

Best moment this week: I got some more things for #2's room. A cheap car mirror and breathable bumper. Both brand new but bought at a discount. It's the small things...

Miss anything? Still missing booze.

Movement: Still kicks throughout the day.

Food cravings: No crazy cravings...although maybe I should say sweets since I've been enjoying them quite often this week.

Symptoms: Like last week, I can feel when my stomach tightens. A few days this week it was super tight, but today it feels fine. Clearly some days are more stressful than others.

Belly button in or out? In. 

Wedding rings on or off? On and comfortable.

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy to be home with Karsen and Bruce...moody at school...

Looking forward to: Spring break! :)
