I gained those two lost pounds back already, although it is almost surely water weight. I have been diligent about drinking the recommended amounts of water so I haven't had any more dizzy spells. I had a nice sore throat on Monday after I visited campus for a couple of hours and thought I was sick, but after talking to two other friends who also got sore throats for a few hours, it looks like it was a reaction to all the construction dust. Unfortunately, since I am pregnant my sore throat lasted a lot longer than a few hours.
I received the results of my AFP this week and they came back negative which means I am a low risk for the spinae bifida. That doesn't completely rule out the chance of having a kid with a genetic disorder, but I have better odds in Vegas. It was a nice feeling to get that information.
I have been cruising Craigslist day after day scoping out a crib. I found one a few weeks back that was exactly what we wanted for $75 but it has sold by the time I called. This week I lucked out and got the same crib for $60 plus a mattress (still wrapped in plastic.) The owner never got to use it because her baby didn't like being in a crib and they coslept instead. It has some minor dings and scratches from being shoved under their bed and being moved, but nothing we couldn't take care of. The mattress may have to go though because it turns out they smoked and I don't know if the mattress smells or not, or if I can get that smell out with the carpet cleaner. I am going to try just to see, but my guess and preference would be to get a new one. The crib however only slightly smelled and as soon as I disinfected it the smell went away.
The floors in the nursery are about half way done, and with the long weekend we might be able to get them completed. They look amazing and I can't wait till they are finished and we can start arranging the room for the little one. The theme is going to be rubber duckies and a I have a few things to decorate but not a whole lot yet. It gives me an excuse to be crafty again though, which I enjoy.
