Woohoo!!
Today David and I have officially been married for one year! We had a really relaxing day yesterday and decided to do our anniversary dinner then. I think we'll get a cake or something today to continue the celebration. In many ways, it seems like we have been married for much longer than a year and that all that we have accomplished together since last May couldn't possibly fit into 365 days. Nonetheless, we are still enjoying each other and things are going well. Hopefully the years to come will be just as good (although maybe not so eventful, I'm not sure I could handle moving and pregnancy and job changes quite so much every year :).
Other than that, no news to report. Everyone has been calling saying "still pregnant?" Yes everyone, I'm still pregnant. And if you'd like to call to chat or hang out or whatever that's great, but, for the record, I am planning on letting the world know when this little bugger comes out. I get the impression people think I'm going to let it slide by. Nope, we have the call-from-the-hospital list in the car already and I'm sure we'll send out an email right away too.
Hope everyone is having a relaxing weekend!

Preggo sit com
Stil no baby, but here's a really STUPID story from yesterday.
Ok, so yesterday at about 3:30 I realize that i don't remember the last time the baby moved. This is unusual because usually it beats me up while I'm at work. I wasn't really worried though because I just hadn't been paying much attention. I did have 3 cookies and a pepsi for lunch though so I thought it was a little weird that I hadn't felt anything for sure since lunch. I wasn't really nervous but I figured I should call the doc before 5 just to get a hold of them and find out what I should do to make sure things were ok. I was hoping to hear something like "go home, drink juice, if it doesn't move in 2 hours or something, call back." BUT, the nurse said, "well, pay attention for another 30 minutes and then call back." So I did and didn't feel anything. My regular doc is out on Wednesdays and the doc on call said I should come in. I know it's going to be nothing but once the doc says come in, you just gotta go. So I had to make Dave leave work early to pick me up (it's about 4:50 at this point) and we drive to the hospital.
Here's where the ridiculousness comes in.
We get to the hospital and park. I'm apologizing to Dave for being such a nuisance and he is saying everything was ok, you know, better save than sorry and all that. My keys were on my lap. I stand up to get out of the car and my keys fall. No big deal right? Right. That is, if there wasn't a storm sewer right where we parked.
Clang. Clang. Pause. Splash.
So now I'm at the hospital for what I KNOW is nothing and I've dropped my keys into a storm drain. It's about 6 feet down so it's not like I could just reach in and retreive them. Talk about feeling like a big pile of poo. I just wanted to sit down in the middle of the parking lot and beg Dave to forgive me for being such a pain in the butt. Well, I didn't do that.
I go up to Labor and Delivery and Dave deals with the sewer thing. In the mean time I'm all flustered because, in addition to all this, American Idol starts in an hour. I know it's stupid, but we've seen every show almost and last night was the season finale so I was annoyed that I was potentially missing it for nothing.
Anyhow, they put two monitors on me -- one to measure me and one for the baby. Baby's heartbeat was fine although he/she was definitely sleeping becuase it was a very steady line for about 20 minutes. Then they had me move and drink some juice (and Dave and I started prodding my belly) to wake it up and it started to jump around. At least I wasn't so psychotic that it was moving around a lot when I got there.
Dave got my keys back (apparently this is a common problem so they have a big magnet to get them) and we did get home in time for the show so everything ended up just fine. How ridiculous though.
That's all for now! I'll be sure to post after my appointment today if there is anything new to report.

get your marks.... get set....
I've gotten the official "anytime now" from my doctor so we're waiting for the baby to decide it's time. Hopefully soon because I (and I'm pretty sure all of the people around me) are sick of me being pregnant. The most irritating thing right now is that I haven't been getting any sleep at all. Luckily the doc ok'd Tylenol PM for me so hopefully that will help. I think I can handle another week or so if I knew I would be getting some sleep one of these nights. The mental exhaustion of no sleep (even when you are tired and have the opportunity) is so overwhelming -- then I get mad at myself for being crabby and it all just snowballs into a giant hormonal nag to be around. I can't wait to feel sorta like myself again.

Nesting
This weekend we... well, I decided that we needed to decorate our living room. Dave did a great job of putting up with my insane nesting/decorating instinct. We ended up painting the living room and hallway walls and rearranging the living room furniture. It all looks great! I'll try to take some pictures as soon as we get the kitchen cleaned up. We found places for a lot of things that had just been thrown in a cupboard when we moved in so things are getting all set. My original decorating frenzy plan had included painting the kitchen, but after painting all day on Saturday, we decided to get the living room totally done before we tackled the next room. That and we weren't totally convinced we had picked the right color for the kitchen... yet :) I really do like decorating.
The baby's room is all done except for putting ties on the bumper pad. It looks great! We moved one of the bookshelves from downstairs up there so now we have a lot of shelf space for toys and books and what not.
And about our ultrasound last Friday: No, we still don't know the gender of the baby. From what they could tell though, all the parts were there and everything looks good. They estimate the weight is about average and the timing looks right on track. We'll see I guess! My doc is out of town until Monday so I'll just have to keep my legs crossed until then -- and then I'd be happy for it to happen anytime.
Hope you're all doing well!!

Gushy Girlfriend
Ok, so I have to brag. I really know nothing about softball, but I've been going to Dave's games this season and I think he did really well last night. He got a hit every time he was at bat (including getting to second base once and third). I think he got three runs and he caught a ton of hits in the outfield -- one inning he caught all three outs!! Hooray, what a stud :)

One month to go
Hello everyone!
I can't believe I'm one month until our due date!! I'm getting a little nervous now. I mean, I have it all worked out in my head, I know I'll get through it... but I'm still a bit nervous -- and I think Dave's getting sick of that.
Anyhow, first for baby news.
I went the doctor today and I am 1cm dialated and 30% effaced. Weirder than THAT, the doc actually could FEEL the baby's HEAD. (You konw, when she did my exam.)
But this is the wierd news. 4 weeks ago, I measured at 31.5 cm. Two weeks ago, I measured 32 cm -- she said it wasn't anything to worry about, probably position. BUT, TODAY, I measured again at 32 cm -- I should be 35/36!! So I'm going for an u/s on Friday. The heartbeat was good -- 142, about the same as it's been for the last few months. She said she thought I might have already dropped -- is this why I'm measuring small? I can't believe it's small. I feel like a monster.
In other news, we got our new digital camera and will be sure to post some picts as soon as I get some worth posting. Dave has his first softball game tonight so I thought that wuold be a good place to start -- there are only so many pictures of Caesar the Cat that we really need :)
We went to Billings this past weekend and had a good time. We saw Christy, Kyle and their baby girl Annabelle who is amazingly sleeping 6-8 hours/night at only 3 mos. old. One can only dream right?! Anyhow, it was fun. We also found out that one of our friends was offered a job at Intel--Huge congrats to him!
This weekend is graduation for the university so it is bound to be crazy around here.
Hope to hear you are all well :)
OH, and if anyone still wants to join the baby pool, better get your bets in!!!
