Ok I admit it... Ive been slacking. Although technically you havent missed much. My work schedule is getting screwed around with... meaning that for some reason now I am working Wed, Thurs & Fri instead of Mon, Tues & Wed...there is no specific answer for that...But its screwing me up mentally, I cant keep track of anything anymore anyways...(like that alliteration there?) But now I have to totally try and regroup every week. Although on a good note, Im giving it until August 1st to see how Im feeling, how big baby is and whatnot, and then probably only work a few more weeks in August considering our newest little family member is going to be joining us shortly after that.
Speaking of, little guy is doing fine. Moving ALOT. He's found my bladder among other tender things in me, but that doesnt seem to stop him. Starting on the 8th I have to start going in to the docs every 2 weeks and apparently I get another ultra sound. (Fine with me! I like them :) On a bummer note however, my midwife who I thought would be there throughout the entire thing is leaving Kaiser for Southwest so I have to change midwifes... but thats ok. At this point I figure as long as the kid gets out of me Im fine. I have given up the water birth idea. I would still love to do it, however I would have to go to the other side of town, buy all my stuff and then get carted around from closet to closet multiple times after birth. So I decided to stay at Southwest where everything is done in one gigantic room and I can at least labor in the tub. I'd rather not be treated like cargo. I have to call and schedule our tour here shortly, and finish up my birth plan. Sure hope I can get as close to the plan as I'd like, but I know that never works.
Other than that nothing much is going on... my friend Linz was awesome and threw me a baby shower yesterday... it was fun getting together with her and a few friends from church. I dont know why, but I much prefer the small simple gatherings. Not to mention there was an artichoke dip that was TO DIE FOR. (Im surpised hubs didnt die when i came home and kissed him with my garlic-artichoke breath)
We finally liberated Stinky out to the yard. He is having a ball and I dont really have to hear him yowling to go out anymore. And its finally drizzling here. We had about 2 weeks of 90 degree heat. (no, not fun.) But despite how cold or drippy it is... I still dont recognize my feet. That is the one thing I will REALLY enjoy about having a baby!!! No more cement blocks. It seriously looks like I got bit by a brown recluse. And to make things better.... the kid really likes my right side so he just gravitates over and stays put making my right foot plug up like a kinked garden hose. So usually I have ONE foot that is retarded. Sigh... only 2.5 months left if not sooner.
I am still working on the new apartment thingy. I think I have settled on one, God and I have had some talks over it and it seems the timing is just about right. I've learned that it is sooooo much easier and beneficial when I ask Him to find us a place instead of me making a snap decision. Because then I know that He will put us where He wants us and we will be in an area of town that He deems safe. I have never been let down.
It feels so much later than it really is! We were up at 8, didnt end up making it to church, but now its only 10:30 and it feels like I've been up forever. I sure could use a taco right now. Well that is about it for the update.... I'll be back.
