I managed to accomplish my BIG task this week, which was cleaning my bedroom and closets. I went through the entire bottom of my closet and hung up clothes and sorted out summer clothes and clothes that won't fit with my growing belly. I bagged and boxed up what I wanted to keep and labeled it all. It looks so much better and the only clothes left are ones that I can wear in pregnancy. I also have a bag to donate.

Once I finished that closet, I moved to the very small closet behind my bedroom door. There was a big box in there that I went through of old clothes. I sorted out what I wanted to keep and bagged them up and the rest went in the donate sack. I also found all my nursing bras and pads and such, which was a great find! Got rid of the box and put the newly bagged "to keep" clothes into that closet.

I also found a big green tub of forgotten about Christmas things that mom and I found in my grandma's attic last winter. Those will be used this year for sure. I can't wait until it's time to decorate. I also cleaned out my underwear/bra drawer and my pajama drawer. I boxed up everything that wouldn't fit right now and the rest is getting washed and ready to wear for winter. I cleaned off my dresser top and put things in their place. All I have left is the nightstand by the bed, but I needed a break.

Whew, what a morning!!

I had my OB appt this afternoon. Everything is well. I am measuring at 23 weeks even though i'm only 19 according to my last ultrasound. The furthest along I could possibly be is 21 weeks and that would mean that I got pregnant the day or the day after my DH got home for his mid-tour leave at the end of June. Either way i'm still measuring big. I asked if he was sure there was only one baby in there and he said pretty sure. It would be super stressful, but also welcomed to have twins. We would definitely be finished having babies then. LOL

The baby's heart rate was 144 (could be a boy?!). I've gained 5 pounds since my last visit which equals out to 1 pound a week. I've actually gained 4 pounds from my pre-pregnancy weight. Hopefully I can stay nice and steady and only gain the minimum weight needed. I go back to the doctor on December 15th and will do my 1 hour glucose screening then. He scheduled my ultrasound for this Monday (November 24th) in the morning. I can't wait. We're not going to find out the sex but it will still be nice to see the baby and know that everything is okay...not to mention to be 100% sure of how many are in there.

Anyway, just wanted to give an update.
