I had an amnio yesterday and so for the next two days I am not supposed to lift anything more than 10 pounds. This was pretty easy the first time around. But now...oy! How do I get my almost 40 pound kid in the car seat? And if he is not doing what I want him to do, how do I get him to do what I want without just picking him up (my usual strategy)? And you would be surprised how many things weigh over ten pounds. Like groceries and corgis that need to go to the vet and can't jump in the back of the car by themselves.Luckily, on the way home from the vet, I stopped at 'In N Out' and had no trouble lifting my cheeseburger into the car. That was my reward for the fact that we found out yesterday that we are having ANOTHER boy. I am tired just thinking about it. As my friend Lisa (who has THREE boys) said when I told her the news, "It's fun. Loud. But fun."
