life and such

A bit of an update for my remembering...
*I'm almost 30 weeks. I remember thinking back when I first found out I was pregnant that I would be 31 weeks when the school year was over and here I am one week away!
*We went and toured hospitals last night. Davis and McKay Dee. I think we're going to go to Davis just because it's closer to us then Mckay is. They both seemed to offer the same services and had similar policies.
*Rowan likes to push really hard with his feet on my stomach. It feels so cool (I think it's his feet) He also enjoys kicking my ribs, which sort of takes my breath away.
*I have heartburn and acid reflux pretty much everyday...today it was ALL day.
*I'm feeling really confident in giving birth and am only anxious to meet our little one. The pain doesn't scare me. I think I will have enough knowledge and techniques to be able to work through the pain.
*I'm really glad we've decided to have a Doula at our birth. I think it helps with my confidence level.
*My first mothers day was nice- flowers, plants for the garden, sweetest card ever, a silly picture.
*We are looking for a new car. A Mazda 6 (they have good safety ratings) by the end of June we'll have enough cash in our car fund to buy a fairly new one 2005/06
*I LOVE watermelon right now. I have 1/4 of one left that I started eating on Saturday. I could eat a whole one in one day probably but I try to not be a piggy!
* I also love anything cold and drinkable. Such as slurpees and smoothies!
* I have doctor appointments every 2 weeks now. At my last appointment everything was great. I also don't have gestational diabetes and my blood pressure is still good!
* I'm getting more and more excited to meet this little boy!

Life

This month seems to be flying by. I am grateful for this because I so badly want to go to my doctors appointment on the 24th. However, I am a bit terrified that they will say something is wrong and then Christmas would be ruined.
My last day of work is Friday. That means only 4 days with head start kiddos, 3 days with preschool kiddos and one planning day. Then it's 16 days of FREEDOM!
I went bowling on Wednesday with some friends I used to work with. I suck. However I did feel cool wearing my own bowling shoes (Thanks Lane) Anyway, I found out that my friend Erienne is pregnant too! She is due July 22nd, one day before me! I'm pretty excited to be able to go through my first pregnancy with somebody I know.
I've been feeling better lately. My nausea comes and goes and is never really predictable. I have terrible food aversions. I almost vomit by the mere thought of some foods. I'm addicted to Popsicles, Pace Bars in particular. They are like a snow cone on a stick. I've been craving Long Life Veggie House. Cashew Chicken and Lemon Chicken...I need it soon. We tried to bribe Derek's brother into bringing it to me last night but that was a no go.
Sometimes I really hate that we live so far away from where our lives are. I mean sure we have a life up here, but everyone we know, everything we like to do, everywhere we like to eat, is not by us. Someday I hope to move back down to normal civilization, but we'll probably end up moving even further away for Derek's job...but that's ok.
I wake up so early. I was up at 4 this morning. I tried so hard to go back to sleep but it was just not happening.
The End.
