We saw Carolynn today for our 31 week appointment and baby is doing great! Blood pressure is normal and I'm measuring in at 33 weeks. We talked about supplies that I should be getting and how not ready we are for baby, lol. I go back in 2 weeks and then start weekly appointments. We go tomorrow to see the Lawyer and sign a ton of legal documents - then we just wait for the keys!! My house is a MESS with packing stuff, thank goodness Gary doesn't mind doing most of it, heeeeeee.

Gary and I actually went out on a date last night! Of course I came home to Dylan being awake on Aunt Nina's lap - but he also had needles yesterday so he wasn't sleeping too well :( It was nice to get out, but forgot how much it COST to go to the movies - almost $20 for popcorn, 2 pops and M&M's. Now I know why we rent movies and stay home *snicker*

Does anyone want to guess what I've been spending my time doing??? It's been fun clean sweeping - getting rid of clutter but I feel like nothing has been done. We go for a walkthrough on Monday, visit the lawyer next Friday to sign documents and then we get our keys on August 1st. It's been crazy, our landlord is trying to rent out this place, so on top of packing chaos - I've had to keep it clean for people who give short notice that they want to come and see the place, eek!!! I'm excited about next week to see the new house - so are the boys - will update with pictures!!!

We saw Claudette this morning for my 29 week checkup. Everything looks and sounds great, baby is still head down with her body over to the left. I'm measuring at 30 weeks, so pretty much right on for size. I've been having a lot of Braxton hicks contractions the last few weeks, so I won't start drinking Red Raspberry Leaf tea until about 35 weeks or so - it seems to be toning itself just fine, lol. I go back in 2 weeks to see Carolynn. Here's my latest belly shot (30 Weeks)

that in less than 8 weeks - the new baby could be here, yikes!! I'll be 37 weeks on September 4th (coincidentally it's Labour Day) and technically, baby is fine to come anytime after that. I'd rather it be a few weeks after THAT - so I can have the boys back to school and on a routine before we throw a new person into the mess. I have a list of stuff to get still, diapers, wipes, lotions and will be directing all the baby stuff up to our room during the move so I can sort through it and figure out what is staying/going and what I need to buy still. Some days I wonder if this baby will stay put another 8 weeks. I'm feeling pretty good, not much pain - but the braxton hicks come often :(
