Almost 36 Weeks

Sorry for the lack of updates. We are trying to make it to the Winter Break. We both finished up classes at UM and MSCC last week. The week before we went to a technology conference here in Memphis for two days, and we presented a session that we had prepared with a fellow librarian. We are also trying to get our yearly book orders finished before the break. Jason sang during the holiday concert that was held at his school. Of course, we had the baby shower in there as well. So now that all of that scrambling is behind us, we can focus on the upcoming rest and relaxation :)

On the Ellie front:
  • On Monday, December 17th, I was scheduled for another glucose test. However, once I got to the doctor's office, they realized that this was a mistake. So, instead of 4 sticks, I got to lay all cramped up on the "table" for 30 minutes for a NON-Stress Test. Basically, they measured the baby's heartbeat and looked for contractions. I almost ripped that monitor off of me because it was very uncomfortable sitting up on the exam table. :) Anyway, I suffered through, and the doctor said that everything looked fine.
  • We are in the process of filling out paperwork for childcare once I have to go back to work.
  • I spoke with the doula and I have an appointment with her this week.
  • My next appt. is Thursday, December 20th.

Hey Jason, if you need to see what a baby actually looks like (since like me, I'm sure you have never touched one in the wild before) click on over to our blog. HEHE. Papa.

Actually...I have even changed diapers before on my nieces...although that was quite a long time ago.

And, unlike Carmen, I played with dolls as a child.
