Another massage
I'm loving the weekly pre-natal massages. An hour of having all the knots and tensions removed from my back is totally blissful. I scheduled this one for the morning as D is still not back in Montessori school in the afternoons due to March Break, so it was more relaxing than last week when he had to join me and was a little distracting from my usual semi-concious state when being massaged!
Alot of people at my stage of pregnancy are reporting insomia. Touch wood I'm absolutely not getting that right now. If anything there are not enough hours in the day to sleep! I manage to get comfy at night by wedging the duvet under my stomach somehow and only wake with a need to visit the washroom occasionally. I can't praise the humidifier enough either, since buying it my nose and throat have become much less dry and congested. I'm not cured, but it's alot better.
Fragmin shots are going well, I'm doing them all myself now, I find it less traumatic funnily enough. I've gone from Mrs Needle Phobic who couldn't look as G plunged the syringe in, to preferring to be in control of it. I somehow know exactly where I need or need not to place it, so I rarely get the stabbing pains that I was getting before when we hit on, or close to, a prior injection site.
Going to see a friend this afternoon who has kids to see if I can borrow anything useful from her like giant stair gates (for our extra wide stair entrance) or similar.
