in random news...
ONLY 25 DAYS LEFT TO GO! okay, i know...i'll probably go over but at least i have a goal in mind...something to look forward to. i'd actually rather go over by 1 week so i can finish up the reading unit with my students & not have to do big sub plans for before Christmas. that way i can do their end of quarter assessments, grades, etc. then the kids can just start fresh with the sub in the new year & i'll have more time after Christmas to stay home. we'll see...when i'm up and walking for long periods of time i feel regular 'twinges' but the minute i sit down they are gone so i'm sure its just practice! we'll see what the day after thanksgiving shopping does to me!
i'm very excited for Christmas...i love Thanksgiving, but in my head its the precursor of Christmas and all it means. what a better way to get yourself ready for the TRUE meaning of Christmas than to take a day to be thankful? see? this is a beautiful time of the year & i'm very excited for the holidays to come!
it has occurred to me recently that i should think about packing for the hospital. i have the diaper bag packed (& probably overpacked because that's just my style) with all the things i want the baby to have while we're there, but i haven't started packing myself yet. anybody have that "couldn't live without it item" that they want to share with me? i'll take all the helpful hints i can get! (maybe it'll motivate me).
i'm feeling better this morning, but last night was rough! i was up for 2 hours just blowing my nose & choking on drainage (i know, sexy...hey, mikey, is that a bad word?). i still can't tell if its really a cold or not...once i'm up for the day i feel okay--not great but okay. whatever it is i hope its gone soon.
and lastly, in today's news...i finally broke out the purple barney sweater of Andrea's. for those of you who knew Andrea when she was pregnant with Emma, you'll likely remember the sweater that looked oh, so comfortable but was indeed Barney purple. i've had it out for several weeks but hadn't broken down and worn it yet, but today is the day. i needed the comfort and boy is it ever comfy & warm. you won't lose me in a crowd, that i promise ya!
another doctor's appointment today...checking to see if i'm doing anything yet so i'll be so excited to update you on the progress of my lady parts tomorrow!
have a great tuesday!!

Hospital Essentials....
slippers
own clothes, get a shower and into your own clothes ASAP
lotion!!!!
face wipes (so you don't have to get up if you don't want to)
if static electricity bothers you take static guard...it just ticks me off.
can't think of anything else right now.
I totally agree with you about Thanksgiving as a matter of fact I just blogged about it today.
For the hospital bag: Shower shoes, trust me.
I'm so excited for the 2 of you!
Jen, I don't know if you remember me. Mike gave me your blog addresses when we gave him ours. Doyle Spence is my husband, Phil Spence my father-in-law, if that helps! Anyway, I love joining in the excitememnt and awaiting your baby's birth. I just wanted to help you out on neccessities for your hospital bag. The number one thing for me was a bath robe, comfy and full-coverage! Unlike the hospital robes. I had to have an emergency C-section so I was in the hospital for a few extra days and that was sooooo nice to have. Bring your own shower supplies, shampoo and body wash, if you have nice smelling ones, they make you feel so much better, and cleaner! If you are nursing make sure you have a nursing bra, regular bras are too difficult for hungry newborns. Can't wait to see the first blog about your new baby. Jessika
if you forget something in your hospital bag, please ask and when we come visit you, we can bring it! it will make us feel important! :)
also - maybe the netty pot would help you get some of the drainage out. no clue! never used it! but i remember we all were chattin about it that night after your shower at betty's! hope you get to feeling better soon! not fun!
