34 weeks (no pic)

34 weeks today. My lilypie ticker says 42 days to go. Seems pretty short! Since I have so many random thoughts to share, I'm going to continue the list type blog entries for now.

Observations/happenings since the last post:

-Went to our first Prepared Childbirth class last night. It was actually the third class out of the series, due to the fact that I moved here so late and all their classes were full. So we are taking the first two sessions in June. Its not ideal but I wanted to make sure and get all 3 of them in. The class went well, the nurse teaching it was really nice. Scott didnt freak out or anything but lets all be glad there are smartphones with games on them. He needed to be distracted a few times.
-The hospital is amazing. I havent even had an official tour yet and I love it. I have heard amazing things about it and only seen a small portion of it but it doesnt even look/feel like a hospital. I drove past it 3 times and didnt know it was a hospital. Inside is very very nice. I'm hoping to do an official tour on Monday night. Here is the link: http://www.bmcf.com/ click on Womens Center at the top and pictures to see the labor/delivery/nursery areas.

-I found a kennel that is literally in the same parking lot as the hospital. I am going to call and annoy the crap out of them today with questions. I downloaded the paperwork and I have Raider's shot records all ready to go.

-Baby clothes/blankets and miscellaneous paraphanalia are all washed and put away. We are planning to go to the Harley store to see if they have any newborn sized outfits for him to wear home from the hospital. Very exciting.

-Raider went 2 weeks in the apt before peeing on the floor. He is so stubborn and distracted when I take him out at night, he wont go and then he has to go really really bad in the morning and Scott gets ready before taking him, and even then he can get distracted and not go. We have started keeping his leash shorter (so he feels more secure) and I have extended the amount of time between potty breaks so he HAS to go and will. He is still very interested in chasing animals of all sorts. Luckily it has only rained one day so I havent had to deal with that mess.

-Dusting, vacuuming, cloroxing and organizing a 900sf apartment is so much faster than a 2200sf 2-story house. I think the time I save is wasted on the extra time it takes to rinse/wash dishes in a 2 inch sink with no sprayer head. Seriously annoying.

-There is nothing good on TV between 11pm and 6pm. (meaning I only watch shows that are on from about 7-10pm) This is good and bad. It keeps me from vegging out all day so I wont get lazy and fat but also keeps me from relaxing or resting as much as I probably should.

-I dont have a new pic cause I dont feel any bigger. I think I've been the same size for a couple weeks now. I go to the doc on Tuesday so we will see.

-I met a pediatrician on Wednesday and I like her. The office is small but I think thats good cause we will get to know her better and it wont be crowded with snotty kids. When I went to meet her, I was the only one there. Its close to the hospital and only about 10 min from the apt. I really hope we can get a house on this side of town, as I am establishing doctors and loving the area a lot.

-We are meeting new friends on Saturday! The amazing Leanne Trott introduced me (via facebook) to her roommate in Dallas, Kelly. We have been talking and are having a bbq with her and her husband on Saturday in McKinney. I'm excited! She is about 5 weeks behind me in pregnancy so I'm sure our conversations will be really irritating to the husbands. LOL

-We are trying to sell the Jeep. Its on craigslist, ebay classifieds and autotrader.com. Hopefully it will sell sooner than our house is taking to sell. My dad is selling us his Denali, since he doesnt drive it that much (soccer van!) and Scott needs a more normal stable vehicle.

That's all I can think of right now.
