And just like that.. its summer!

We have had temps in the 80's this week! It was weird to go hot so fast.. but we are loving playing outside and enjoying our back yard. The downside is that our bedroom is on the top floor, while the air conditioner is in the basement, and i guess its not the best unit because our bedroom is HOT HOT HOT!! Its so hard to sleep at night. The sad part is i already feel this way and the highest temp we have had is 88! I bet you all cant wait to hear me complaining come mid July when I am 38 weeks pregnant and its usually 110 degrees here! I might sleep downstairs at that point!!

Today was Porters last day of preschool. They had an hour long thing and the parents were supposed to come. We stayed for 15 minutes. Porter was actually done about 30 seconds in but we waited long enough to get his year end diploma and a fathers day thing he made ( purple hand prints! ) from his teacher. They had all the kids sit in chairs and sing some songs from the year. Porter wouldn't go near the chairs.. he sat in Cory's lap on the other side of the room on the floor. He also covered his head with his arms and sat there curled up the whole time. We were delighted later to hear bits of the songs in the car though. He just was too overwhelmed with the change of routine at preschool combined with all these parents and people he didn't know there. Add to that clapping and chatter and it was just overkill. I wonder how the kid is ever going to survive the public school system.

After that fun time, we headed off to my 30 week appointment for the baby. Baby looks good, measuring well and heart beat sounded nice and fast! However my anemia has dropped again.. which is so frustrating to me. She suggested eating red meat EVERY day... just the thought makes me want to barf. I am just not a big red meat eater. I don't know what else to do. I also lost a pound.. which i guess is bad because she gave me a hard time about it. She asked if I was eating.. ummm YA! I eat all the time! Then she turned to Cory and asked him " is she eating?" Okay, does she think i am lying?? Do I look like a small person? I started out this pregnancy heavy so I don't see what the big deal is.. i have gained to date 14 pounds so I am not too worried plus i have 10 weeks left! I must say I was not upset i hadn't gained any weight... but hey I have a lot of fat left over from the last three pregnancies so maybe the baby is just feeding off of that! lol. Everyone pray though that my anemia gets better because i am Sooooooo tired all the time. Also as my levels go down i get many head aches and breathlessness ( is that a word?). I feel like such a sub standard mother/housewife right now because I just don't have the energy to do much. So if you stop by my house pardon the mess!

Oh and had to add... at my appointment Theo wanted to come up on the table with me and the midwife helped support him while she measured my belly and listened to the heartbeat. Theo was so interested and had this calm thinking face on. It was really cute! I wonder what he was thinking, if he remembers the sounds of the womb that he heard with the Doppler. Wonder if he knows there is a baby in there, understands more than me maybe!
