Interesting week

Seems like we have just about everything now. Last thing we need to get is a bookshelf. We bought one from Target and Jordan put it together on Sunday. Neither one of us liked it. The color on the box was much darker than the actual bookshelf. So last night Jordan took it apart and we are going to take it back to Target. So the quest for a bookshelf continues. Of course we don't really need a bookshelf but she has received so many toys that we have no where to put them! Right now I have them in little baskets but no where to put the baskets!

So, I think the nesting has started up again. I'd like to call it "gathering" instead, since that seems to be what I am doing. I have 12 homemade meals in our freezer right now. Since about September I have been cooking dinner like usual, then freezing the leftovers so when the baby is here all I have to do is pull out a meal and reheat it. We have stew, chili, lasagna, pork tenderloin, beef wellington, and a few types of soup. There have been a few nights where I have been tired so I'll just pull out one of those meals. Then when I'm feeling energized I'll make something I know will freeze well and replace it. I am also stocking up on items around the house so we won't run out of them in December. I know Jordan can easily run to the store if we need something but I keep thinking it will just be easier if we have extra already in the house.

A few posts ago I had mentioned that I was having some pain/cramping that my doctor said was normal late pregnancy symptoms. No, she was wrong - I had a kidney stone. :) They said it was from too much calcium. They want me to increase my fluid intake, which I am. I am also taking my prenatal vitamin every other day so I hopefully won't get another one. They said it is common in pregnancy - no one told me about that!

I have also had this "thing" on my finger for about a month. Kind of looks like a blood blister. I've seen my family doctor and obgyn about it - neither really knew what it was so I made an appointment with my dermatologist. She of course knew right away what it was (should have gone to see her first). She called it a pyogenic granuloma - again common in pregnancy from all the hormones. She removed it and cauterized it right in her office. Fun times.

This pregnancy has been such a breeze so I really can't complain. Even those two weird things were not that bad. I saw my doctor on Wednesday and he said the same thing. I believe his words were "This has been a perfect pregnancy, barely a scratch on it. You look great, trim and fit with a beautiful belly." Haha!! I almost fell off the table when he said that.

It was very nice of him to say - I don't think anyone has complimented me quite like that before - I certainly wasn't expecting it!
