This week marks the first week that I've actually FELT pregnant. I still feel good, mind you, but you can't miss the waddle that I've got going on or the constant hand on the back or the slightly swollen ankles. And night time is becoming increasingly NOT FUN. I guess that's getting me prepared for not sleeping at all when the baby comes, right?
I go to the doctor for a checkup tomorrow. It's actually been right at 3 weeks since my last checkup, which makes me a bit nervous. I've had a few "too high" numbers when checking my blood sugar and today I took my blood pressure at CVS and it seemed high to me (like I'm trained in that area or something). So I'll feel better when I'm being checked out.
The nursery is all done, the clothes are washed (at least the ones I'm going to wash at this point), the thank you notes have been sent out. We still need to put the car seat in the car (not a task I'm particularly looking forward to after hearing the horror stories about that) and I need to pack my hospital bag. But we're in good shape, if you ask me. We've definitely accomplished a lot in the past two weeks.
Thanksgiving was great...we celebrated at mom's on Thursday (I wasn't much help this year...I'm so lazy), then James' parents on Friday, then Ronnie's family on Friday evening (first time celebrating with them since 2003, so that was cool). I was even Martha Stewart-ish and turned the leftover turkey that I had into white turkey chili...aren't I the domestic diva?
Hopefully all is well with everyone out there in blog land...

Even if you are feeling increasingly 'pregnant', you look great! And don't worry about the car seat. They will help you at the hospital. It has to be checked before you are released anyway. See you soon!
When we put the car seat in for Andrew we didn't know any better and put all 3 seats belts thru in the back seat; better to be safe than sorry. I think the guy at Rex thought we were crazy.
Isn't it a great feeling to know that you are ready for Kendall?!!!???! You guys are going to be such wonderful parents. She is so lucky.
