Two weekends ago I went to Chicago with my sisters and step mom. It is definitely my new favorite city but I will never again take it on while pregnant! Friday night was long, after work we went to the airport where I left my ID at the security checkpoint and even though our flight was delayed they were not able to find it before we left. When we got to Chicago we checked into our hotel the Omni right in the middle of the magnificent mile and walked to Gino's East to enjoy some Chicago deep dish pizza and catch up with our friends Adam and Elise who live there. Saturday morning we woke up and after a wonderful buffet breakfast at the hotel we went shopping. I must have been in one of those moods to shop because I didn't stop until we had to meet up for dinner! We took a cab up to Hugo's Frog Bar for dinner where the food and the atmosphere were amazing! Sunday we started the day off with an excellent breakfast buffet on the 95th floor of the John Handcock center. It was really cool to be able to see the whole city! Then I shopped literally until we had to leave for the airport. I just couldn't get enough! I had a ton of coupons and the stores were all having great sales!
Well I paid for that weekend on my feet the whole next week! I knew I shouldn't of done it but I couldn't stop myself! I had a horrible case of planters fisciatis and my feet were very swollen for the next 5 days. Monday night Craig's parents came over for dinner to celebrate his mothers birthday and I started having what I think were Braxton Hicks contractions. A little worried I called my doctor and went in the next morning. She said everything looked alright but I took Tuesday off work to relax. Putting my feet up really helped and I got to be there when our crib and dresser were delivered! Craig's parents came back over to help get it in the room and unpack everything. Then Thursday night when I taking my last final Craig put the crib together! It is so beautiful! We haven't made any other decisions on the room yet though, one step at a time. Being done with school is a big relief now though and now we can concentrate a little more on getting the house baby ready!
Friday I went to see my primary care physician because the swelling had gone down in my feet but my big toe still hurt really bad. He said he thought I had Gout! I went in there thinking I had a broken toe and here it is more like arthritis. I did a little research and drank a ton of water to flush the build up out of my system. Then magically the next morning my toe didn't hurt nearly as bad!
Saturday night we went to Mary Ann's niece Ellie's wedding in Cleveland. It was really nice but we didn't eat until 8pm. Craig and I were literally the last ones in the whole place to get served salads and I was a little upset. I voiced my frustration to the waitress and we were the first table to get served dinner!
Little one has been moving around like crazy! My feet have definitely been taking a beating but UGG shoes have helped. The contractions were scary but thankfully everything is okay and looks normal. He is still craving dairy and especially loves chocolate milkshakes now! My emotions have been by far the biggest side effect this week, for some reason I just can't stop crying over nothing! There has just been a lot going on and hopefully now that school is done I will start to relax a little bit more. The next time I post we'll be in the third trimester, it is really flying by!
