I went to the OB today for a routine visit. Everything seems to be going well.

Once again, I got stuck by a needle! This time it was the flu shot. Fun!

My next appointment is in 2 weeks: Wednesday, October 26 (Shad's 30th birthday!).

30 weeks 1 day - Baby Showers are Set!

I now have 2 showers scheduled: one is being thrown by my Sunday School class this Saturday (10/15) and the other is by the group of ladies that I work with in the nursery at church. That one will be on Sunday, November 6. I think there's still a third one in the works, which will be thrown by my co-workers, but there's no date set yet. The one this Saturday will be at our teachers' house and will be more of a cookout and get-together since it's co-ed. I don't think there will be any games...at least, I hope not! I prefer to just talk and play cards instead.

This past weekend was pretty good. On Friday, Shad and I went over to Bill and Jen's for dinner and to hang out for a little while. We had a really good time. I just hope it's not the last chance we have to do that while child-free!

On Saturday, Shad went with his dad and Bill to the game in Knoxville. I stayed home and worked on cleaning out the soon-to-be nursery. I've been making some progress, but still have a long way to go! Jen came over to watch the game with me in the afternoon and then helped to take down the double bed that was in the nursery. That cleared up a lot more floor space for me to work. I'm hoping to get it mostly finished this weekend. I'll have Friday after work and then Saturday before the shower to try. And just MAYBE Shad will get the urge to help me at some point! Except for moving the big blue chair back out into the living room and my glider/ottoman into the nursery and sorting through one of his boxes of stuff, he hasn't been of ANY help yet. All I can say is that he'd better get in gear as I could REALLY use his help to finish it up now!

Sunday was our usual routine: go to church, go out to eat lunch with friends, go home and take a nap (Shad mowed the lawn), and then I went to work in the nursery at church.

I had an appointment with Dr. Adams, the pediatrician we plan to use, on Tuesday (10/11). We know her from church and have heard a lot of positive things about her. Everything at the consultation went well. She answered most all of my questions before I even asked her, which impressed me! I've thought about looking around at other doctors, but I'm very satisfied with Dr. Adams, so I don't think I'll bother.

My next OB appointment is tomorrow (Thursday, Oct. 13). It should just be the same routine stuff. After this appointment, I'll start going every 2 weeks! Only 10 weeks left!!! Eeek! Where has the time gone?!
