My doctor still hasn't found my folder. Today, Dr. Gerard obviously had no idea who I was without it and so my checkup was basically...Hi, come back next week, let us know if you feel any contractions. Okay..um?.. thanks? My blood pressure is still very low and I even lost 1.5 pounds. Woo Hoo! I've been fretting that I'd go in and find out I'd gained 10 pounds this week. The fact that I LOST weight- yay! I asked again about the ultrasound and now I've been told that I might only get one if I go to 39 weeks or something. Dr. Gerard made it seem like it was normal to go into labor around 38 weeks. This somewhat confused me because I'd always read that first timers would often be late. I'm willing to keep my mind open but I'm not sure I'd continue with Gerard the next time. She seems very capable and she's nice but I don't feel any connection. Anyway, after the appointment, John and I went to the Super Buffet near the World Market. We've never been there and I don't know if it was a fluke or what but damn the food tasted good. I definitely will try it again. Afterward, we stopped by Toys R Us to add a few things on our registry that you cannot add online. John was stressing a little about being so late to work but he hid it well and I was proud of him. It was fun hanging out with him. Very rarely do we do anything spontaneous like that- esp my anal engineer husband. On the way back we were stopped by a cop who said my tag was expired. Of course it wasn't really but apparently my sticker is missing. Someone obviously stole it in the last month so tomorrow I'll go and request another one.
The animals were being butt- heads today. Xanth is whining and not listening because Dixie is in heat. Beau decided to hop on the counter, knock over all the plants, and dump the clean dishes on the floor (breaking some in the process). Baer decided to pull the stuffing out of all his chew toys. The living room floor looks like it started snowing. No, I haven't cleaned it up. I will tomorrow. Today was a very OFF day. Both of us are in weird funks and we're tired. Hopefully, we'll be in better moods tomorrow. We have a lot of things to do.
Aidan has been having many bouts of hiccups. She was having one at the doctor's office. I cannot help but smile inside. My stomach kicks out just a little whenever she does it. It's so amazing how much I feel for this little person inside me. I think I might have some very overwhelming moments of emotions after she's born. I can't believe she's nearly here! In a month or less our lives will be forever changed. Everything will change and I'm looking foward towards it. John and I have been so lucky. We got pregnant exactly when we planned and all has gone well so far. I pray our luck continues for many years.
