don't know when to shut up

Yeah, I sometimes just share too much information, like i'm about to do.  Probably, maybe, who knows, anyway, here goes:

So I'm almost 17 weeks prego and still on "take it easy" mode.  I'm also unfortunately, still on pelvic rest for at least 2 more weeks.  I tried to be a little more active on Saturday night and ended up bleeding, so my pelvic rest has been extended for 2 more weeks.  Ugh!  It's already been a month!  Seriously.  I left church early on Sunday because I had a hot flash that left me feeling week and with cold sweats.  I needed to lie down, so Gary took me home and after laying down for about 2 hours and 2 grilled cheese sandwiches- I felt better. 
Side note, I'm up 20 lbs from last pregnancy (old news), but have only gained an additional 5 lbs or so this pregnancy, so that's good.  I know that water weight is coming though.  I'm not looking forward to the swelling the summer will bring- although maybe it won't be too bad if I'm still have to be in rest mode for the rest of the pregnancy.
My stomach still is bothering me, so I am not doing too much, but I feel a little lazy this way.  It's for the baby and it's only temporary.  I went to a ward activity on Saturday with the fam, and that seemed fine.  I sat most of the time, and it was nice to just get out of the house.
One good thing about having complications in pregnancy is the increased number of ultrasounds I will get to have, and since I'm 17 weeks, by the time we get the next one, we should know gender.  (please be a boy, please be a boy, come on Skyler M. Bailey)
What else?  I think my girls are getting better about letting me rest, and at the same time getting restless about me needing rest.  They aren't listening as well as normal, and that's frustrating.  Scarlett has started talking a lot more this last week, and that is exciting.  Van is getting better about his schedule and has started sleeping through the night again ( a couple times in the last week, whew!). 
So, my birthday is on Friday, and my husband has given me 4 pairs of new shoes.  I love them, and am wondering if I am getting too many pairs of shoes, but I have to admit that I am still on the lookout for some knee-high, black stiletto boots. (size 8, if you please :)  We are going to go to Melting Pot for the first time and dine in fondue heaven.  There is one present that I'm not getting yet, but I'm hoping that it will be coming.  It's the one thing I really really really want cuz it'd be awesome for me and good for someone else.  Cryptic, cryptic, eh? 
Lastly,  I can't wait to get botox and some fillers someday.  I just thought I'd throw that one in there. 
This post seems very unorganized and just info that is thrown out there, but there it is.  Sometimes, that's just how my brain works.   muah!
