Today was mehh. For my day it was very productive and yet it did not feel that way. I gave people at work some of the baby shower invites that I have. There are still a few people that I have to give to but pretty much have given them out. Don't know if all would come, but that's the fun of invites.
Got to get some sleep. TTFN

April 13, 17 more days to go
Got out of doing a half an hour at work tomorrow for today. :) Worked for 15 more minutes then regularly scheduled. So only 1 hr. for Make up time for the next 3 days (doctor appointments suck when I am trying to save PTO.
Went to the OB in SF by my self today. I was still hoping that no one ran into my car and stayed far enough back so I don't run in to them. She stated that I was mesuring at the correct week and the heart beat was really strong. The next appointment is in 3 weeks and then 2 weeks later and then every week up to birth. Hopefully Bumpy doesn't come early. I also gained another 9 pounds. Which is not bad but I can feel it in my fingers and just walking around. Hubby is working on a project at work that the bosses keep pushing back the dead line, I am worried that if it comes down to it he might not be there for the birth. Scary thought. I might need a car sooner rather than later due to all the MD appointments that have arrived.
I am almost tempted to get the used car that I saw at work today. I didn't get the details because I was trying to get out of work for the appointment. I'll look at it tomorrow if its out in the open. I would like to get the new car but since I'm not going to be having a steady income for a few weeks its out of the picture till at least September.

MOO! Did I mention MOO! That's how it feels today.
We (mostly hubby) got a lot accomplished today with the boxes. Even unboxing a box that was destined to go to a friend of mine. I realized that while I was looking at the items on the shelf in the bedroom. So I need to find a box again that will hold the small items for me to actually send it to her. I don't know if she'll be in the bay area anytime soon.
Got the renal car again, the Rav4. Hubby is going to miss some work next week for Jury Duty, so mostly this week is crunch week for what ever he needs to do in the office. I will be on my own in the city this week going to the doctor's office, so I will need to be dependent on myself for the first time in two months with out hubby at the side wanting to take the wheel if I need a break.
Then next week we will go back down to one car again. Hopefully the OB won't want to see me for another two weeks or a tad bit more. I am at the point were the doctor would want to see me every two weeks and after that every week soon.

I forgot to mention yesterday that I got the cord blood kit. That made it more real than just washing baby clothes or getting the stroller. Which today I was inches away from buying.
Today was a lazy day and we went out to Fresh Choice for lunch. I felt like roughage and it was close to home. So to settle the tummy we went down town and to Lullabye Lane. I wanted to look at how much nursing bras and other things I would need after the shower, that I would think be too personal for some random person to pick up for me.
We go to look at the stroller and find out that they are having a buy the stroller and bassinet and the bassinet is 20% off. My mouth dropped and I was like I WANT it now. It is because the Orbit stroller does not have sales like this. The rep stated that it was very hard for the Orbit people to agree on the discount. We agreed! So here's the delima, due to the fact that the stroller (includes the car base and car seat) is expensive and the bassinet is a nice luctury. But with the discount its worth it. We can put 25% down now, that way if some one does have the means to put money on it we would have some of it paid so it wouldn't be too much. We have asked for gift cards for the place as we have babies r us and target for most of the baby's needs.
So its hard for me to wait for the next month as the offer will be gone, but the 20% off bassinet its very tempting to just buy them and pull the stroller and the bassinet from the reg. which means there is limited items (two) on the list. Or put the 25% off and make sure whom ever buys the stroller that we go with them so they don't have to pay 100% of the cost.
So while we were there I bought the "All weather pack" that is a rain shield and a mosquito net that fits over the car seat base and the bassinet because we are going to get the stroller no matter what. The bassinet would be a nice addition for travel and around the home so there is no pack'nplay to tote around.
I also got the Baby Shower Invites! AWSOME! They were very sweet and I couldn't ask for any thing nicer. I'll scan the cover of one as soon as we get the printer up.
Along time ago in Feb. I sent out V-day cards to the Grand parents. And I stated when every one got it I would tell what I did. What I did was get Hallmark recordable cards and put the heart beat of Bumpy in the 10 seconds that they allowed before the music started. So Every one got what I wrote except for the MN grand parents but not knowing what a baby's heartbeat sounded like I forgave them! :) They know now.

Today is a mixed weekend. For me its a time to remember the losses that happened in the past few years and to think of the families including my own and to reflect on what they are doing now.
Bumpy is doing fine. I am trying to adjust with the weight that its packing on and leaving me feeling tired and wanting to have Bumpy sooner rather than later. But I have to wait 23 more day for Bumps to not be born in April.

I didn't do much today. Washed all 8 pair of old navy socks for Bumpy's hands and feet. After they were washed and placed together with another white sock, I put a few on my belly and told Bumpy that these socks were for it and all of a sudden Bumpy started to twist and turn and kick. Hubby was impressed with the level of activity for just a few pairs of socks and felt the action kicks and squirms. I think Bumpy can't wait to get out side so it can see what we are talking about. I am tired but because I spilt water on my side of the bed its going to be a while before I can put blankets on me. I think I will try any way! (YAWN)

Uber purchase today. I bought into the Cord Blood Banking and now have a few less dollars than I woke up today and I am not sorry to see it go. I have thought things through and if something does happen to any one of the three of us, it will be there to help.
There is a possibility that we will never need to use it nor have an issues but at least for me having the peace of mind that if something does occur and its there I would feel safe that Bumpy is taken care of, especially now that stem cells are producing more and more positive results with the research that is documented and proven.
I know we have a few big ticket items to come, paying MIL back (over time), getting the stroller/car seat and an actual bed frame and a new car for me. But I felt this needed to be done before the baby got here so I can at least feel some what productive in the Not A Month that would be for good and not for evil. Maybe Hubby can chip in a little more for a few, not all of the items mentioned. :)
