2 months and 20 days to go....hopefully!

I had an appointment with a different baby doctor this morning. I was a little nervous due to the fact I had heard "Dr. D" is not the nicest person. I must say I was surprised, she is very hyper lady! She answered all my questions and explained why my body is doing the crazy things it is. I still like my primary doctor better but because it depends who is on call when I go into labor I will see all the other doctors in the practice.

Everything is going well with Elijah. I have gained a total of 21 pounds! I feel like I have gain much more. Other than back pain I have been feeling pretty good. I do get tired much sooner but a little rest on the couch and I'm good to go. We are hoping to get his crib set up this weekend. We have all his bedding but are waiting on a mattress. My Grandaddy has a friend that sells Fluffo mattress and he wants to see if they can make one for Eli!

Last Sunday was the Franklin Main Street Festival. Since both David and I grew up here we have pretty much seen most of the vendors. I was talking to a certain friend (don't want to ruin the surprise!) who is giving me a baby shower next month. She mentioned a cross necklace she looked at but would not buy it for herself. So I'm thinking perfect thank you gift! David and I went to lunch with his parents, to target to return some things and off to main street. Well normally we would walk since we are so close. It is such a nice walk from our house downtown....just not in 86 degree weather when you are 7 months pregnant! So we decide to try and find a parking place. Bad idea. We circle around to the Public Defenders office (David's work) and find a close spot. On a note never did I think there would be a point in my life where I get excited about close parking spaces! Back to the story. We get out David walks and I waddle through the square and down Main Street. After a stop for some yummy and expensive lemon aid we find the booth. We pick out her necklace and at this point I am looking at kids in strollers thinking.....they should make a stroller for pregnant women!! haha By the time we make it back down Main Street and around the square I'm not sure I'm going to make it to the car. I waddle like a huge penguin and finally make it the car, and of course crank the a/c as high as it will go.

He has become much more active the past week. I can feel him moving and adjusting all through out the day. Of course by the time I get home from work (pretty late) Eli just does not want to move for his Daddy! We can usually get a kick or two when David talks to him before bed. I think they are going to be a mess! When we go to Target David looks at all the boy toys. I have been educated on nurf guns, water guns, action figures (which ones are super awesome and ones that just are not cool!).

My keyboard at work stopped typing and I had to restart so I've lost my train of thought! Might make another post later today.

With Love,
