Painting

I had another ultrasound appointment today at Wilmington MFM. Mom went with me and it was her first time getting to see this baby. She had previously gone with me when I was pregnant with Nolan, but the last time she was supposed to go with me with this baby she woke up sick so had to cancel. I'm 31 weeks and 4 days now. The baby passed his BPP test again with flying colors. We were able to spend a bit longer watching him today as we had a student from Cape Fear performing the ultrasound at first. After she had a go at it for awhile, the regular ultrasound tech came in and took over and went back over everything the student had done. He still likes to cover his face with his hand so we only got a glimpse of his nose and lips. He was moving around a bunch though and opening and closing his hands and of course doing some good practice breathing. Hopefully, that's a good sign for a positive lung amnio in 5 1/2 weeks!

After my appointment, I spent the remainder of the day sanding the holes I had filled in yesterday and painting. It took several coats of the seafoam fog paint in order to properly cover the previous purple color. Even though I was painting with the no VOC paint, I still opened the bathroom window and wore a mask, just to be on the safe side. By the time I was finished painting it was nearly dark and I was pretty exhausted, but I did manage to get my second wind and go to Zumba. By the time Zumba was over, I was feeling the soreness of the day set in so I showered, put my pajamas on and spent the rest of the night lounging on the couch and knitting. I'm determined to have this bathroom done by the time Marshall gets home this weekend, but it is taking me a bit longer than it normally would. I find I have to take more breaks than I usually would as squatting or bending over for long periods of time really does a toll on my lower back.
