We had a dr. appt. today and I can't believe I am already at the point where I am going every 2 weeks!  Soon it will be every week.  The doctor said everything is still great - weight and growth are right on and my glucose and iron are in the excellent category (they tested them last time).  They gave me a flu shot today and my arm is ridiculously sore!  I have never had one before so I didn't realize that would be the case.  I will also have the Swine Flu vaccine as soon as it becomes available (should be just before I deliver).  I seriously can't believe how fast the time is going!  The dr. made a comment that he could come anytime from mid-October on .... I can't believe I will be considered full term in just 6 weeks!  Soooo much left to do!

Our crib has still not arrived and I am totally annoyed because I thought it would be here by now!  I haven't even received the email that it has been shipped, but I talked to a friend today who ordered her crib from the same website and she said she never got the email - the crib just showed up one day.  I am crossing my fingers that it will get here tomorrow!  I also ordered the car seat/stroller set today.  I was going to wait until after my baby showers, but it can only be bought on Target.com and it happened to be on sale, plus free shipping and the deal ends on Saturday so I figured I shouldn't pass up the opportunity.  I am soooo excited for my showers!  The first one is in 2 weeks and I cannot wait!  I have to find something to wear!

Rudy applied for a supervisor position at work and we are PRAYING that he gets it!  It will be just in time for my maternity leave and he will be making quite a bit more money, which would REALLY help to relieve some stress.  Please pray that he gets this position!

I can't think of anything else new .... just so many things to get done in the next few weeks and most days I don't get anything accomplished.   I am feeling SUPER exhausted.  Rudy has been working a ton and most of the time I need his help for things anyway.  This week he doesn't have a single day off.  We will both be off on Monday so I am looking forward to that!

Oh ya!!!   I totally forgot .... we started out birthing class this week.  It was interesting.   I think it will be helpful, but the chairs are super uncomfortable and I am already not used to sitting for a long time, so I was very fidgety!  It is a 2 hour class, once a week for 5 weeks.  I don't know how I am going to get through it each week.  They had told us to bring 3 pillows and a blanket so that helped me get more comfortable, but they said we don't need to bring them back until the final week.  I am thinking I need to take them anyway, just so I can sit comfortably through the whole thing!  Ok, that's all .... here are some recent pics .....



I think this was about 29.5 - 30 weeks?  Somewhere around there.









I wanted to wait and post pics with all the furniture in there, but since we have no
crib yet, here you go.  The floors and the paint.  It's going to be a Rainforest room.



Rudy really wants to paint animals on the wall.  We may just get stickers or framed
pictures or something ... we'll see.  Most likely we will go with the cheapest option.




Here is the new car!   I wanted to get more pics with Rudy in them too, but haven't had 
time and now it needs to be washed since it has been rained on.
