- Freddie and Mama have fevers which have been climbing over the past 24 hours. I'm hoping not to see the 104 the thermometer read this afternoon again.
- I dusted off the trusty old breast pump.
- I got 12+ hours sleep on Friday, and felt great until nap time on Saturday when I needed more sleep. Could do that every single night.
- The swelling in my hands is getting worse. Working feeling back into my right hand and arm in the morning has brought me to tears the past two mornings. It is that bad.
- I gained 3 pounds overnight. Swelling I imagine. Probably the cause of the pain in my arms reaching a new high.
- My hospital bag is packed.
- The weather has been warm and sunny. Freddie and I went out to the playground a bunch last week, but this week I think we'll lay low and get healthy.
- I take back everything I said about wanting this baby to cook as long as he sees fit. I want him out now.
- The postpartum helper visits seem to be coming together. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
- We still don't have a name. We talked about it though.
- Newborn diapers have been ordered.
- Charlie's been putting in lots of hours at work.
- Most everything left on my "to do" list involves cleaning. Not feeling too hopeful about it all getting done.
- I want to get some posts up about Freddie real soon. I feel like he's changing and developing so quickly.
- And did I metion that Tummy Brother is still nameless?

Oh Erin I bet you feel pretty crappy, and I hope the next couple of weeks go by very quickly. I also will say a prayer that "Nameless" comes any day now. Stay out of the 90 heat if you can. I'm sure that is making your swelling worse. Hugs my friend. Baby brother will be here soon and this will be a distant memory.
The 90+ degree heat is making me miserable so it must be awful for you! I hope yours and Freddie's fever is gone this morning. I'm so sorry you feel so rough.
Sorry you are feeling bad! I'm sure a name will come soon. I had a friend who had a dream the night before she gave birth and in the dream she was calling him Ethan, so that is his name. It may just come to you when you see him. Thinking about you and trying to keep up with your blog now that I have more time and school is out! Love ya!
You are almost there!! You will miss these private moments when your kids are 3. . . . try to enjoy your last days of this pregnancy and feeling him move all around inside you! (And Luke didn't have a name for 2 days. . .we just called him LittleMan until we decided.)
Good Luck!! :-)
