More "taking it easy"...

I am a little discouraged because my spotting came back. It had stopped a few days after my appointment last week, but it came back. :( I am a disappointed because I have stuff I want to do like finish painting the nursery. I started it Sunday but I didn't do much; I still have a lot left to do. I also need to clean my house... "Monica" is getting really tired of living in the filth. And probably only a few of you know who "Monica" is, so I will explain. Many years ago some of my friends nicknamed me "Monica" after Monica Geller from Friends because I am about as anal as she is regarding cleanliness. Anywho... I talked to Koster again today and she told me not to get too discouraged because she felt sure that with a little more time, the placenta will move off my cervix and everything will be fine. She said sometimes it just takes longer than others. I am not on house arrest, I can still do things around the house and I can leave the house to run short errands or have a social life, but I can't do as much as I normally would. She said not to worry, I will not be bedridden the rest of my pregnancy.

Other than that, I am having some more evident back pain, a mild pain in my belly from stretching and some achy feet and ankles but other than that, I am doing well. I am not complaining, just really surprised all of these symptoms are starting so soon! :) I guess I can't expect anything less with three babies growing inside me! Oh... almost forgot... a couple of nights ago, I think I could feel one of them. I haven't felt any movement or kicks or anything, but I had a really hard knot in part of my lower stomach. I really don't think it was any organs or anything. It was pretty cool! I can't wait to start feeling them move!

On another note... I thought I would show you a picture of the changing table my aunt gave us. It is really cute. I found some cute little baskets at Babies R Us that I think will go great on the shelves. I like the white, but it doesn't go with the rest of the nursery. The other furniture will be a honey oak color. I was planning to paint it, but now I am thinking about just leaving it white and incorporating some white accessories in the nursery. Let me know what you think! Paint it? Don't paint it?
