Yep, another week is ending. I have my other Baby Shower this weekend (Saturday). It is hosted by my MIL & SIL. It should be fun. It should be a smaller group than the one I had a few weeks ago with my relatives from LA.

Jack is getting heavier to carry around and I feel more BH contractions. They aren’t necessarily the painful kind but the kind that makes your belly very tight. It’s weird. I have continued to do my kick counts and Jack is still being pretty active and sitting high. He’s still getting the hiccups and stomping away at my bladder since I still have to get up 2-3 times a night for a bathroom break.

Other than that, work has been busy and I have been more tired. The temps here in Vegas have dropped drastically in the last week. We’ve been experiencing daily highs of the 40’s! Can anyone say “brrr”! Seriously, it’s been so cold (Very cold for Vegas!). No snow though that can still happen. The last 2 years we have had a snow day here in Vegas. That’s what you get for living in the desert – extreme weather patterns. In any case, I try to keep warm by layering up and getting snug underneath my Wool Comforter. :)

LOML & I are still going through our list of getting things checked off the list. This last week we picked our Pediatrician. The practice is real close to our home so that’s nice and we like the Doctor we met. She’s very nice and competent – always a good combination. :)

We have some other classes coming up at the hospital. One next week on Infant Safety Care and then one the following week on Breastfeeding. Hopefully, they’ll be nice and informative.

LOML has been working a ton…so much to do! My contracts have been keeping me busy but not nearly as much as his. Part of it is the fact that I end up fading towards the end of the day and honestly nothing is more important than staying healthy for the little guy I am carrying. Nothing! If that requires me to back off work a little so be it. :)

Besides all the baby stuff, I have been finishing up all the X-mas stuff. Overall, I think I am in good shape in regards to the whole deal. Haven’t really decorated the house but with the pregnancy I honestly don’t have the energy to do any decorating and what happens if Jack decides to come early (I hope he won’t but still a possibility). I don’t want to live in a house full of X-mas decorations until Spring! ;) Since I am not hosting any of the holiday festivities, it’s not a big deal. My SIL is really big into it. She always has X-mas day. :)

All righty, that’s the update. So far so good. We have another appt. with Dr. H this coming Wednesday. Hope all looks good and I didn’t gain a ridiculous amount of weight. At least I know my Blood Pressure is looking good and staying steady. We had an in-home physical this morning since we are applying for Life Insurance. The guy who came out said all looked good in regards to my Blood Pressure. So yay! Hope that stays that way.

Well – back to work! Hope everyone has a great weekend!
