A freind recently commented that people's addiction to facebook has cut back on blogging. I think she's right in my case! Here I am in what is supposed to be a very exciting time of my life and I am not telling anyone about it!
So here you go...

I've been going to the doctor once a week for about a month. I'm almost 36 weeks pregnant at this point. Everytime I go to the doctor they tell me I'm such and so weeks and 6 days. I'm just one day shy of 36 weeks, why can't I already be 36 weeks??? Everything is going well though. About 5 weeks ago I had an ultrasound that revealed a very clear profile of something that is definitely Martin's child. Of all things the baby looks like it has a slight overbite. The ultrasound also revealed the baby was in a breech position. Well, I worried about that for about a minute and then to my relief the doctor told me today that the baby's head is in the right place, ie head down. So maybe my childbearing hips are not for naught!

We ordered a crib about 8 weeks ago from a nice place nearby. When I called Friday to find out about the furniture's whereabouts they couldn't tell me. They did say that furniture usually takes 8-12 weeks. My mother, who was visiting, was immediately suspicious. According to her, when my father had ordered his Prius they could tell him what boat it was on from Japan down to the longitude and latitude. Maybe I'm exaggerating, but she was convinced they had lost my furniture. Yesterday they called to tell me that it was on a truck and would be at the store by the end of the week. So we'll see if they say anything else about where the furniture was, but I'm sure they won't admit it if they lost it somewhere between here and the great mysterious beyond.

My mom and her friend Patsy came up a little over a week ago. My mom drove all the way from Pensacola in a rented van and picked Patsy up outside of Birmingham. They brought my Papaw's rocking chair and guitar as well as the curtains and diaper stackers mom made. They are all adorable! It's nice to have things that are more personal than Babies R Us stuff. Mom painted the baby's room a very pale green that looks perfect. We all went downtown one day to look at ridiculously priced strollers and then saw a play at the Goodman Theatre called Rock'n'Roll by Tom Stoppard. It was about the Czech Republic and included a large amount of Pink Floyd music. It was pretty good but an odd concept.

So today I went back to work to get things in order. No one has been hired to do my job in the fall. It's interesting. I can't wait to see what is going to happen.
