One More Week!
4
December 12th, 2007LifeI can hardly believe how quickly it’s come, but only one more week until:
- I’m in my 3rd trimester!
- Christmas vacation.
Now, I know we just had Thanksgiving vacation, so it’s not like we’re in dire need of one, but I love it because I am usually busy on vacation and there is something to do all day. Not so much at work–I get tired of searching for something new and interesting to read during the 7 hours I’m at work and my bosses have nothing for me to do.
It’s been great preparing for the holidays with shopping and taking care of things like that because it fills the time. And, searching for things for Britt is fun too. Right now we’re trying to decide on a diaper bag. Get 2–one for me and one for Mark, or just one that’s masculine enough for Dad to carry around too? We’ve found a couple that we really like, so we’re going to check them out at a couple of local stores that carry them.
Britt has been moving a lot this week. It’s fun to watch my stomach move. There aren’t any really hard jabs, but a lot of little pops that are visible on the outside. Last night Mark was tickling my stomach to see if he’d move…but I think it just made me laugh and squirm. Britt was probably wondering why his home was convulsing and closing in on him. (Yes, we think his brain is so sophisticated that he has thoughts like that.)
I do hate it when people are dishonest and mess with good things and ruin it for the rest of us. For my birthday, a local radio station that I have an “A-List” account with sent me a coupon for a free Cold Stone for my birthday. We went to redeem it last night, and they don’t accept them anymore because people were bringing in fake ones, and more than one and getting them for all their friends. But, the guy felt bad, so he gave us a discount on it. We got pumpkin ice cream with caramel, cinnamon and graham cracker crust–delicious!
Britt’s eyes are opening now, and he’ll start to blink. The lungs are continuing to develop and produce the “surfactant” that keeps them from sticking together and helps them expand. And, he’s better at hearing sounds from the outside. Looks like we need to step up the story time and good music!

Diaper Bags… You get free ones when you deliver. These are great to have “in the car” when you forget the REAL bag. (One for each of your car.) Plus, you need to remember… do you want to carry a purse and a diaper bag when you go out. Also, when you go to church… there is the diaper bag and your church bag. (and in our case, my husband’s bag.) It gets crazy! I change bags ALL THE TIME. It drives Brad crazy because he never knows which bag is really the diaper bag. Ha ha ha!
