It's Independance Day

Today, although it was a day off I worked hard at catching up on work given that I'm preparing to leave for three months. I did however take a trip with Will into Austin where we ventured into Whole Paycheck...I mean Whole Foods to pick up an all american dinner for tonight. It's fun to be able to splurge every now and then. We got everything from hotdogs to yummy gummy stars (pretty sure neither are that healthy despite the price tag).

In baby news the baby has been pretty quiet today after bouncing around like a king fu kid yesterday. Oddly enough I've resorted to poking and prodding when I'm not satisfied with the movement which I'm pretty sure makes baby hate me even in-utero. The baby did decide to move more after I ate olives so I'm taking that as a sign that the baby likes olives. I've also decided that the last month of pregnancy is really going to suck. I've started to move pretty slow and am waddling like a duck. Quack quack. Needless to say, I'm ready for my personal Independance day only it's still over a month away!!

Babies are fun but so are iPads

My husband came home today with this huge gift in hand that had happy birthday all over it. Note, my birthday isn't for another 22 days. After careful inquiry I found out that it was indeed my birthday present and I was told that I could open it but that I wasn't allowed to comment in anyway once I opened it. So I carefully proceeded. I got to the bottom only to find an iPad. WHAT!! I now realize I'm not allowed to comment because my first reaction is, this is way too much for a birthday or we have a baby coming what are you doing! Needless to say, William covered his bases so, I couldn't comment. I guess I'll just be excited. Really it's because I have been working from home a lot and he is tired if me hogging the computer. This is just going to get worse once I go back to work after maternity leave so I guess this is the solution to the problem right now. Speaking of maternity leave, we only have six more weeks to go! We had our first extensive visit with Julie last night. Will has been very busy around the house painting and decorating. I'll post pictures soon, maybe even pics taken with the iPad :-) I also had an appointment toady. I'm gaining appropriately, my blood pressure looks good, baby's heartbeat is around 150 and it's moving a lot and I'm measuring about a week ahead of schedule but aim not sure that really means anything. More to come soon. I promise I won't be so neglectful in the coming weeks.
