Hoping to have a pic soon! I located the camera, now I just have to get Scott to cooperate and take a pic of this belly.

And what a belly it is! I went to the doc today and according to her fancy machine, Baby Harkness is a whopping 5lbs 3oz and 17 inches long! I (of course) don't fully believe this b/c it just doesnt make sense that he would be that big and me not be HUGE. My friend Leanne is due July 8th (having a c-section June 29th) and her baby Andrew is only weiging in at 3.5lbs. My friend Stacy is due July 29th and her baby Reagan is weighing in at 4lbs 14oz. Scott is proud our kid is the biggest. I have no idea how it is possible, given that since I am not working I dont eat nearly as much as I used to. Everyone is saying, oh good maybe he will be early. Well, I would prefer he stay in there until July. We have 2 Harkness anniversaries (ours is the 18th), Gram's birthday (21st) and Aunt Tammy's birthday (27th). I wanted his to be in July so we could spread them out a little. We'll see how it goes!

So my new doctor! My Woodlands doctor recommended her b/c they are friends. Now when doctors say they are friends with each other, I dont really know what that means. You went to college together, maybe did a semester of residency or like buddies who still call and visit each other? Apparently these two are pretty good friends. They both went to school together and had a practice together for a year or so. My doctor is from here and is pregnant with her 2nd, so they decided to come back to this area to be closer to family. It was different for me going to a doctor's office with only 2 doctors, and only one of them an OB. My previous doctor was in a practice with 4-5 other OB's so the office was huge and there were lots of people always in the waiting room. The office was only 12 minutes from the apartment and I skipped the freeway. That was great. It is a pretty new building and was very nice. Dr. Holt met with me in her office to go over a few things before doing an ultrasound, which I appreciated. The ultrasound was fairly short but confirmed the position I thought him to be in. She measured his femur and head and came up with the weight. Since he is head down and facing inward, she was unable to get any pics. We'll see him soon enough!

Apartment update:
-Raider is slightly better at going on the leash. He did recently discover squirrels live in the yard and they climb trees. This is a problem.
-Vacuuming takes about 1/6 of the time it took in the house.
-Walmart is 4 minutes away.
-Groceries and every store, restaurant, shop and retail place you could possibly think of are within 10 minutes drive. Probably less than that. Its so great to be near things. On the other hand, when we have a house it will be noisier b/c the neighborhoods aren't as secluded and quiet as the ones in The Woodlands. Trade-offs.
-I unpacked the LAST BOX this afternoon. I'm too tired to put the clothes away though so either Scott will have to help me tonight or I will do it tomorrow.
-Our storage unit is full to the brim, so I am having to be creative how I store things in the apartment now. We should have kept a set of the garage shelves for this garage, I could really use the space.
-Space saver bags are really fun!
-Pics coming soon, when I have that last box of clothes put up.
-Nothing on our house yet. I think I'm gonna lower the price another couple k. Pray for that to work!
