Getting Ready

I had my 36 week OB appointment this afternoon, and everything looks great!

Still down 10 pounds from my pre-pregnancy weight.  My blood pressure was 120/80 (which is slightly higher than my usual).

Dr. S had a heck of a time getting a read on baby Eli's heart beat.  We could hear it, but he moved around CONSTANTLY so we couldn't quite get a number.  Oh well, at least we know he is alive and well in there.

We also did my strep B test, and she checked me for dilation.  I am 2 cm and 50%.  So, we are definitely getting closer!

My next appointment is scheduled for next Wednesday!  I can't wait to see how things are progressing.

After my appointment I ran to Target to purchase a new boppy pillow (the one we got when Jack was little was destroyed in the dryer when Ady was around a year old), and big brother/sister gifts for my babies.  :)

Then I came home and purchased the god-parent gifts for Eli's god-parents (Tyson and Abby), paid bills, balanced the checkbook, and then took the rest of the night to rest.  :)

It is amazing how even the simplest tasks become difficult when you are in the final month of your pregnancy.  Geez, just getting up to head to the bathroom is quite the event.

And You Thought My Last Was Random....

Ahh, I am itching!  We got the okay this afternoon to paint our apartment....provided we put it back to white before we move out.  I am SO excited.  I am SICK of boring white walls, and I can not wait to add a little spice to our lives walls.  As I am typing this I am calling my Mom to see if she would be available to watch the kiddos for us, but....she didn't answer.  DARN HER!  Lol.  Eh, she probably didn't turn her phone off vibrate after she got off work.

Hubs is attending a conceal carry class on Saturday.  I have no idea why because he doesn't even own a gun.  I think he just likes to know that he can.  Who knows.  Guys are crazy.  Even if he never ends up using the information shared in the class, he should have a good time hanging out with the guys.  His dad, my dad, and a few other men are going.....it is good for him to get out with other men and spend a Saturday morning learning about guns and gun safety.

I got a new phone today.  My 5th replacement phone since I got my new one in December.  Yes, I know....ridiculous.  But, I am hopeful that this will be my last replacement phone!  I don't want to have to transfer contacts/add e-mail accounts again until I renew my contract.

We are planning on having our family/individual pictures taken the first weekend in October, and I have been busy planning our outfits.  Which is fun, but man....why does it look better if people match?  It would be so much easier to just throw on something that looks nice and snap away.  Well, I am sure you can do that....and look perfectly fine.  But, that is not how my mind works.  I want people to match, well....not match but coordinate.  Yeah, I might be a little crazy.  So, I have a couple of items waiting in my "shopping bag" at OldNavy.com, and I can't wait till Friday when I can order them.  :)

Okay, I don't watch Days of Our Lives often...but, I have been trying to get caught up this last week.  Didn't Sammy just ALMOST marry EJ, and now she is in bed with Raf?  WTF?

We are planning on heading to the zoo Monday afternoon.  It is Z's day off, and we haven't been yet this year.  We took Jackers last year, and he LOVED it.  I can't wait to show our Ady, and see what interests Jack this year.  (You can see our zoo trip from last year, here.)

Man, they are growing up too fast.

Anyway, sorry about this all over the place post....but, it is what is on my mind.

Oh, and don't forget to enter my giveaway!  Seriously, don't forget.  :)
