Thursday Thoughts!

Remember this statement from my last post, "I'm pretty sure it's safe to say... that's all we're going to get" when referencing the lack of snow this year?
Yah.
Me too.

It's a good thing I'm not a meteorologist!



On the other hand, it really wasn't a big deal at all. It snowed really hard for an hour or so and then melted almost as quickly. No school delays, no snowballs, pretty much just watched Max run around like the crazy dog he is! Now, hopefully that's the last of it. Come on spring!

The closer we get to my due date, the bigger I get.
Duh!
But, there are some benefits to this...

1) I can wipe down the far side of the dining room table while my belly dries and polishes the near side!

2) I never slam the pantry door open into the wall anymore. My belly always stops it.

3) While doing dishes, I no longer have to wipe the water from in front of the sink and off the floor. You guessed it, my tummy makes sure that my sweatshirt soaks it up and there's no water making it to the floor.

4) I will soon be off of laundry duty since I can barely reach the bottom of the washing machine anymore. My arms are just not long enough anymore! I honestly do not remember that being an issue with Karleigh or Rylan. Hummm...

5) I no longer dribble food on my pants! However, all of my shirts seem to have spots on them right on the tummy. I guess that's a plus and a minus.

6) I can easily get Rylan's attention while brushing his teeth. I'm not kidding, that poor kid has gotten knocked off his step-stool 3 times this week. ...keeps him on his toes!

Yesterday Jim and I went to my 34 week appointment. Rather drama free which is always nice! My a fore mentioned tummy is now measuring just a tiny bit ahead. I told him about the frequency and intensity of my Braxton Hicks and that some of them are accompanied by some uncomfortable cramping. He basically said that I'm good to go at any point and that he has no worries. That was sure a reality check! He also doesn't want me going too far from the immediate area considering the speed and timing of Rylan's delivery. So, that does cut into one last hurrah that I had planned to Seattle at the end of this month but honestly, I do understand. I would have been up there within days of when I went into labor with Rylan and his labor was only 4 hours long... Honestly, I have no guesses about when this little bit will make her appearance. I know Jim thinks sooner than later. I'm just hoping she doesn't come 2 weeks late! But in the end my "demands" are pretty minimal. Safe and sound is what I'm going for.
