Everything is moving so fast now. Hours are turning into days, days into weeks, weeks into months in a blink of an eye. It seems like that flower was just on the six week mark. Look at it now, almost to the end. I really can't imagine being a mom. I really can't. I feel a bit like all the baby stuff we have is useless since there is no way I can really be having a baby. My mom came over yesterday and she got us the stroller and car seat I wanted. I attached a picture. I love it. That was my high point yesterday, my low point was when Chris and I realized that we cannot find the ultrasound pictures anywhere. My guess is that they got thrown out in the move. It was really sad. I cried and cried but what can you do? I cried a lot yesterday. I cried because I can't really clean and vacuum because I'm huge and tired and get hot too easily. I cried when Chris slapped my butt because it took me by surprise. They say mood swings come back around now. I guess they are right. Anyway, I should be getting back to my work now. I hope everyone has a nice weekend!

Feelin hot Hot HOT
Hello. Chris and I had to go to his friends kid's 3rd birthday party yesterday afternoon. It was outside and it was hot. I tried to go inside to cool down but it did not feel like they had any air conditioning on at all. A total sin in Phoenix. I had to leave and I felt bad but I have to do what's best for me and Nathan. Get this though, they wanted us to come back later for the gifts and cake. Uh, hello, I'm 7 months pregnant, I'm freaking hot, my feet and ankles are swollen and I've already baked outside for two hours for you people, I'm not coming back. Nothing personal, I'm just pregnant and it's just hot.
My mom is coming over to my house this Sunday so we can go get the car seat and stroller which is what she wanted to get the baby. My mom hasn't come over to my house in 5 years because she doesn't like to drive far. She says she will be okay. My dad is coming over the next weekend on father's day. Totally weird because my dad has never come to my house. Chris and I like to show off our new house so we're excited to do that. I just hope everything goes smoothly and they don't annoy me too much.
Have a great week!

Day 200
I can't believe I've been pregnant for 200 days. Only a mere 11 and 1/2 weeks to go! I've been feeling good for the most part. I get tired easily, my feet hurt and I feel huge but nothing too bad. Today I have a horrible pain in my side, probably just gas. I keep getting on my hands and knees in my office as this is the only way the pain is relieved. I just hope nobody comes in while I'm in that position! I have my doctors appointment on Thursday. I have to do the glucose test. I'm a little nervous about gestational diabetes because the baby and I are bigger than we should be. Hopefully it all goes well though. I'll have to start going to the doctor every two weeks from then on until the last month. It's far so it kind of sucks but I had to compromise distance for good care. Chris and I are doing our hypnobabies every night. It's starting to really work for me and I'm getting excited about it. It's absolutely amazing what your mind can do.
We had a nice three day weekend. It was Chris' 30th Birthday on Sunday. Of course he had already opened all of his presents by then. He is worse than Kelly and I put together! We saw the new Indiana Jones movie and went to Macaroni Grill. I hope he enjoyed his day.
Our baby shower is scheduled for Sunday June 29th at our place. Invitations will be going out early next week. I hope everyone can make it. Men and children are welcome. It will be fairly quick and we'll only do games if people want to. I'm excited about having people over to our new house!
Have a great week,

Getting Hot
It's supposed to get up to 108 today. I can't believe it. I've been having trouble with my feet and ankles being swollen as it is. This heat will not help. It was hot over the weekend. We went to a Dbacks game on Saturday, it was fun but I had to leave at the seventh because I was so swollen. Yesterday we went to Babies R Us and picked up the changing table pad, the wall boarder and a few outfits. We also made sure our registry was complete so we could start telling people about it. We need so much stuff. I think the baby shower will be on June 29th. We are going to do a coed shower so Chris and his friends can come. We got the glider and the changing table last week. I love the glider and Chris loves that he and Roxy get the whole couch now. Chris and I are trying to be diligent about our hypnobabies class. Every single day there is about an 1-2 hours of things to listen to plus practicing techniques and prenatal exercises. Chris has been great, he listens to the scripts every day with me. It is very relaxing. I sure hope it does prepare us for the birth. Chris' birthday is this weekend. He will be 30. Poor guy. It's also our 1 year anniversary this weekend. It's amazing how much can happen in just one year.
