ROWELL RECAP
Oh goodness! Here I go again not keeping up with my blog like I want to. Some of my absence is due to being busy. Some of it due to being tired. And some of it due to my right arm hurting. The job I do (and have done for 11 years now) involves A LOT of ten key and mouse work. Constantly moving my wrist and arm and clicking clicking clicking. It's bothered me from time to time over the years but I usually just stretch it out and it feels better.
I read recently that pregnant women are more prone to carpel tunnel so I got checked out by employee health and they think it's very possible that it's hurting me more than usual because I am pregnant. The doctor told me "Once you deliver the baby, you will deliver this." They gave me a brace to wear and came over and looked at my work space to see if I was sitting properly. The only thing they want to change up is to give me a roll top mouse and an ergonomic keyboard all while wearing the brace. So not happy about it. I DO NOT like the ergonomic keyboard. I DO NOT like the roll top mouse. And I DO NOT like this brace. It's making my hand hurt worse. I even tried sleeping with it and I woke up with my thumb completely numb. I really hope this fades because it's driving me nuts.
Other than that, I'm feeling pretty good. Evelyn is swishing around a whole lot these days. Sometimes it catches me off guard and makes me jump. We had our monthly checkup last week and everything is looking good. She is measuring a little over a week ahead of schedule but my stomach was measuring right on track so they said it's possible that she may be a big baby. My first thought was "I have to push that out." We were also told that she could have hit a growth spurt or the ultrasound could just be a little off. I did pass my glucose test so I know we are safe there.
I can't believe how fast this is going by. I'm 7 months today. There will be a child in this house in the next 3 months and it's both exciting and scary. Our worlds are about to change. Phoebe has no idea what's about to happen.
Here's a little recap on wants been going on since the last post.
I made a picture for over Evy's crib.
Her room is completely done except for one wall. That will have to just wait until I get really inspired to put something there.
A little sneak peak of her room.
I celebrated my 31st birthday with some Hideaway Pizza and some Cherry Berry.
I stumbled upon this dog just peaking out of Evy's room.
We had a stare off for a few minutes. She just kept peaking out.
Not sure what she was up to.
So I made her pose in front of the crib.
We attended our friends wedding last weekend.
And today.....
I'm 28 weeks along.....
Promise I will try to do better with my updates. The closer the due date gets the more I realize I have a lot of stuff to do before she gets here. Tonight.....we doing some Pediatrics research.
Happy Dancing With The Stars results night!

Ps--I'm working on a new look for the blog so it's a work in progress right now. Could be totally different the next time you check in.
