Quick Update

Ok, went to the doc Thursday.  Stress test was good, BP up (but not horrid).  When I saw the doc, we talked about the fact that the due date I was originally given has to be the most accurate.  I KNOW what day my last period was, and this baby is measuring just a tad big for that date (but WAY big for the date they gave me afterwards).  So, they've changed induction date from Feb. 10th, to Feb. 3rd.  Yes...not even 4 weeks away--I'm way nervous now, but anxious to see her.  We'll go down that Thursday, they'll start the induction--but have me in a regular room, I can eat, walk around, watch tv, etc...then when things really get moving, I'll move to labor & delivery and OH YEAH BABE get an epi.  I'm guessing that I won't have her before that following Friday, the 4th.  My mom will be here with Kaitlynne, then Kim and Donald are coming down that Friday and will bring the 2 of them with them.  I just can't believe she'll be here so soon..to be honest, have the time it doesn't even sink into my head that there IS a baby.  I mean, duh, I know I'm pregnant and feel her move and all..just seems surreal.  Been a long time since I had an itty-bitty.  I'm excited tho...we get our lay-away off next week, and I think we're about set on baby stuff (for awhile..got the basics down-I'm sure we'll need other stuff, but got what we'll need right now).  

Yesterday Alex let the dogs out to go to the bathroom.  He misjudged Prince's loyalty (everyone knew the dog would dart, but Alex hoped he wouldn't...).  Needless to say, the dog is gone.  Haven't seen him since 9am yesterday morning.  We went all over the damn neighborhood, have half of them looking for him, too.  I'm going to put a sign up at the gas station and grocery out here...hope whoever took him will give him back.  I know someone has him...he would be back by now otherwise.  Full-blooded Pomeranian..he has tags tho, not that that apparantly matters to whoever has him...anyway, I'll put the signs up...and just hope someone gives him back.  Blackie seems quite content to have him gone, tho...lol.  Anyway, just keeping fingers crossed now.  Scott and Petey aren't too surprised-they thought he would have darted long before this, but we generally took him out on a leash.  Damn mutt..lol.

We went to Target today...any of y'all with kids need to check it out-big time toy clearance going on right now..getting rid of the 'old' toys (including barbies, bratz, spiderman, etc..) cheap.  We got a few things for later on.  Went to Golden Corral for lunch (thank you Alex)....I've been wanting it so bad lately, but it's so damn expensive.  Then went to Goodwill-got 4 more pairs of baby pants and a baby tub (almost new).  Came home, fell asleep for 2 hours (take naps whenever I can--soon enough, no sleep..lol), made dinner, now everyone's just relaxing, doing their own thing.

Guess that's about it, can't think of anything else super-thrilling that's happened.  I'm about to EXPLODE..even Alex said it today.  I find out in a week and a half how big she is (they'll do an extensive ultrasound the week before labor to make sure size is good, lungs are developing well, etc..).  I'm outta here..*Toodles*.
