Time...

Scott and I took Kaleb swimming tonight... thanks to Kathryn, Annette, and Brad sharing their pool! It was nice to relax and enjoy the water, but it is amazing how fast you forget how much you weigh! Floating around in the pool for an hour and a half is nice, but when you get out if feels like you weigh a ton (probably because at the moment I do!).

This weekend is full of baby showers! Saturday is Ashley's shower (which I'm very excited about!) here, so I've been planning that! We are having a rubber ducky theme... so I think it'll be cute! Sunday afternoon some friends are having a shower for me (or I guess I should say us) at church! I'm excited about that one too... and although this sounds way worse that I mean for it too... I'm excited about presents. I'm starting to feel like I don't have anything for the baby... but people keep telling me not to buy anything until after my showers. I feel very unprepared, and I'm hoping that shower gifts will 1) help me to feel a little more prepared and 2) help me to know what I still need to buy myself.

I went by work today to turn in my maternity leave paperwork and ran into several people that I haven't seen all summer. They were amazed at how much I've grown. I guess its fairly gradual (all things considered) when you see me regularly, but these people haven't seen me since June, so to them I've gotten huge!

We go back to the doctor again Friday and they'll do an exam. I guess (and I really am guessing) that means they can tell me if we have started to progress at all... but it's still a little bit early so that might not be happening yet. Today marks 35 weeks and 1 day... leaving less than 5 weeks to go. Let's hope Kaleb makes it that long (but not longer!).
