So Russ gave up on the "job now" part, but not the "work on your damn license" part. Ugh....that's on the plan for today. I don't exactly know why I'm balking so much on getting my vet license. Maybe because then I have to think about applying and interviewing and contract negotiation....all things I very much suck at. And what if I end up at a crappy clinic...I mean I guess I survived an internship I can do anything right??

Pregnancy stuff:

You all probably saw the posts about my BP and the fun in L&D Triage. I've been taking it easier...if I could really even be doing less...and I'm putting my feet up more and stuff...the swelling seems to be responding to that. I'm still seeing the floaty things, though...which could be normal they said. I guess I just have to wait and see what she says at my appt on Tuesday. I've also stopped checking my BP....it's just causing me to worry and that's not good either. I'm getting some stretch marks which I have mixed feelings on. Part of me is completely disgusted by them, but another part of me is proud because it means I'm for real going to be a mom. I've been stalking that site http://www.shapeofamother.com. I'm trying to stop weighing myself....but it's like a bad car wreck, I just can't turn away.... The baby's butt is right up in my stomach (at least I think it is) and my ability to eat is becoming affected...it's weird to feel hungry but become full after a few bites...I guess it's a good diet plan!


Baby stuff:

We finally chose a crib. I couldn't find what I wanted so I let Russ pick it out. It came yesterday!!! We haven't opened the boxes yet, but plan to soon to make sure all is ok. We're going to prime the nursery on Sunday and plan to paint the following week/weekend. We're doing an underwater theme. We bought a convertible crib and plan to keep the room as a guest room, but decorated as a nursery. We're going to keep the baby in our room for a little while and we're going to have company in and out for the holidays, so it seems like the best plan. I also went shopping and bought some baby outfits from Carter's. I bought those little one piece things with long sleeves and feet....I think they are soo cute! Russ and I are starting to play the "is it a boy or a girl" game. I made it this long without knowing, but the closer it gets the more I just wanna know... In just over 2 months, we'll know. We've got about 8 names of each gender picked out...but plan to meet the little one before deciding. I really haven't gotten much of a personality feel from the baby yet. Overall I think it's a quiet baby...doesn't really move around all that much.

Boob stuff:

My goodness!! Will they ever stop freakin' growing?!?!? I broke down and ordered some bras online. It's scary because I'm guessing at my size...two out of the three didn't fit so I have to return those....but I found a place in town that sells bigger bras and yesterday I found one that fit!!! Finally....and I wore it out of the store! Each day I become more and more scared of my "milk coming in." What do people like Punky Brewster do??? Oh yeah....a reduction!

My sister is coming to visit in a couple of weeks! Yay!! We're planning to shop, and eat and get pedicures! Should be tons of fun!
