Shopping these days has gotten much harder than it once was. Actually, I won't lie: everything has gotten much harder! We needed to make a big Ikea run last weekend, and we decided that I wasn't going to make it through an Ikea excursion without a wheelchair. I must admit, it was the most pleasant 3-hour shopping trip I have ever experienced! Derek was so great, pushing me around and bringing me to any section I wanted. We ended up finding many things we needed for the nursery, including a toy organizer, curtains, a rug, and a small dresser.
We also needed to get groceries when we were finished at Ikea and I never would have had the energy to do it without a little assistance. Thank you motorized scooter :) I did the same thing at Target on Thursday night when we had another big shopping list. Derek just laughs at me, because if I don't cut the narrow corners of the aisles quite right I have to put the scooter in reverse, and it makes a loud "BEEP, BEEP, BEEP" noise. We are quite the spectacle together, me and my big belly in the scooter and Derek always nearby, laughing along with me very loudly!
I had my 32-week ultrasound on Friday. Everything continues to look good. I was surprised to find out, however, that baby girl is now in a breech position. It's possible that she will flip again, but we will possibly not know whether I will be able to have a vaginal delivery or if they will arrive via c-section until I go into labor and am admitted to the hospital.
Baby boy is now estimated at 4 lbs, 15 oz and baby girl is estimated at 5 lbs, 5 oz. I guess this explains why I'm so tired -- I am nolw carrying over 10 pounds of baby! The perinatologist asked me how I'm feeling, and I simply replied, "miserable". She said "I only hope that you will get more miserable!", i.e., she wants the babies to continue to grow like gangbusters. For the babies sakes, I hope for the same!
