Saturday was a nice day so Brian and I worked in our yard while my mom watched Carter. When it warmed up in the afternoon they played in the yard and went for a walk using Carter's wagon.
It rained most of the day on Sunday so we went shopping for furniture for our front porch. We randomly stopped by Fowler's Furniture and Carter found himself a giant playground. They had wooden animals around an ark that Carter loved screaming at. There is a train going around the entire store that hangs from the ceiling that Carter liked watching. And someone gave him 2 balloons - so much fun! We got home in time to watch the UT game. UT lost to Michigan State by one point - we really thought UT was going to pull it out and advance to the Final Four. My mom watched Carter after the game so Brian and I could go out to dinner.
On Monday I took Charlotte to the vet first thing in the morning to get her rabies shot. She got so freaked out being at the vet that she hid in our closet the rest of the morning. My mom watched Carter while I took Charlotte so I didn't have to wrestle with Carter in his stroller and Charlotte freaking out. We did some shopping around town between Carter's naps and played at home the rest of the day.
I had an OB appointment this morning and my mom watched Carter so I didn't have to take him with me. I had to do the 1 hour glucose test but my overall time at the office was actually shorter than normal because I didn't have to wait all that long. My BP was 110/62 and the baby's heatbeat sounded good. I saw the Nurse Practitioner today (my doctor does surgeries on Tuesday and I think the other doctor was off). I've seen the NP a couple of times before. I like her enough but wasn't the biggest fan of her today because she basically told me I was gaining too much weight (I'm up 25 lbs). I was gaining just as much at this point with Carter and my doctor thought it was fine. Also, I saw the other doctor 3 weeks ago and have only gained a couple of pounds since then and she thought I was fine too. I know my doctor is okay with my weight gain because I was really concerned about it with my first pregnancy and was told every time not to worry and that I should gain more because I'm small. I just don't like getting conflicting information.
It was warmer today so my mom and I spent a lot of time with Carter outside. She bought Carter a toy lawnmower and a bubble wand that they had fun playing with. Though Carter still prefers sticks and rocks to anything else.
I think we're going to the zoo tomorrow. Should be lots of fun!
