I missed the cup... Twice

Time for an update. If you have been following my facebook posts, don't worry I won't go too debbie downer in this post.

Pregnancy, 38 weeks, 143 lbs

I am sick with a cold which is horrible.  The worst part is wetting myself when I cough or sneeze. Like I needed one more thing to be embarrassed about. 

My doctors appointment was this morning, and she decided to torture me by having me give not one, but two urine samples. Since I can't see what I am doing down there, I ended up peeing all over my hands the first time, and somehow the floor the second time. That will teach her to order 2 samples. Just kidding, I grudgingly cleaned up after myself.

Otherwise baby seems well. Docs are a little concerned that I am measuring small right now, but they are going to wait and see how I have grown next week.  They said it's best not to do anything while I am sick. 

Kenzie, 17 months, 20 lbs
She woke last night with the stomach flu and it continued through the morning. She is napping right now, so we will see how the afternoon goes.

The toddler bed is going great. Although she naps all throughout her room. Mostly in her reading chair, and yesterday on the floor, next to the ladybug light her grandma sent her. Bedtime hasn't changed at all and she doesn't get up at night. 

We are dealing with a perfect storm of teething.  Her bottom molars and top canines are all coming in at once. Nothing has broken through yet and she is in lots of pain. She can be playing quietly one minute and on the floor crying in an instant. There isn't much we can do except Tylenol and let her munch on frozen blueberries.  The house will be covered in purple finger prints by the time these teeth appear. 

Dan, too old to be this clueless, about to have a LOT less time to work out 

Dan is starting to realize what the weeks will entail after the new baby gets here. He took 3 weeks off work to "help out." Sure. We had our first conversation about post baby, which he initiated:

     Dan: So... what's going to happen once you have this baby?
     Me:  What do you mean?
     Dan: How will you take care of Kenzie in the morning?
     Me:  I won't. You will.
     Dan: What? Every morning?
     Me: 7am every morning you will need to be in her room.
     Dan: Do I have to sleep with the monitor?  Can I just set my alarm?
     Me:  No this is isn't a job, this is parenting. She might wake up at night or extra early in the morning and start crying. You will need to take care of her while I am with the baby.
     Dan:  Oh. I didn't realize.
     Me:   (Getting angry) What did you think your man-ternity leave would consist of?  Sleeping in and doing whatever you want?  You are supposed to be home helping me.
     Dan:  I didn't think about it!  I didn't realize... (trailing off with a glazed look in his eyes)

What? I am exhausted just thinking about all the after-baby arguments we are going to have. <sigh>

Lessons Learned
1. Stop going to playgroup. I started going 1 month ago and Kenzie and I are now horribly sick.  A bunch of toddlers putting the same toys in their mouth over and over again... how did I not see it coming?
2. My clothes washer is amazing! Blueberry vomit all over sheets, sleep suit, white pajamas and Ernie. All came out sparkly clean using the stain cycle.
3. Get the sick out of the way. If the predicted due date is 2 weeks away, we have plenty of time to get over all this sickness. The most important thing is that the newborn doesn't get sick. So let's just get through this.
4.  Dan is clueless. I have nothing else to say on that topic...
