As of late...

I still need to figure out how to post pics! Particularly so I can post them when the baby comes. After all, I don't think I want to post too many pics of my fat 'ole self now. I know I'm supposed to be fat, but still...

I had some computer problems the past week. I was playing my new favorite past time, "Farmtown" on facebook and got a virus. I got super worried about losing valuable things on the computer and somebody getting valuable information but fortunately I got it fixed.

The doctor decided my low amount of amniotic fluid must not be because I'm drinking enough, so now they are monitoring it twice a week. I had a little scare on Friday and ended up going to the hospital, but all was just fine. Wade and I were there for a long time, but turns out it was all okay. I cant' believe i only have 5 weeks left!

Robin has a absolute ton of stamping/scrapbooking materials so I have gotten into card making. It is a little overwhelming when I start because i dont' know where to start, there is so much stuff. But I have made some really cool cards and am proud of myself. As I mee ntioned, I have also spent, no, wasted, a lot of time playing Farmtown on facebook. It is really fun but I think I am becoming an addict. I also just finished a book called "Lost boys" by orson scott card. It was pretty good.

I have enjoyed going to the Farmers Market with Robin the last 2 Saturdays. They dont' have any fruit yet, it's mostly plants, crafts, and food vendors but they should have some fruit very soon. It is just in walking distance of the house, so it's a nice way to spend a Saturday morning.
Last week, Wade and I went to the Rose Festival in downtown Portland. There were lots of food vendors and games and we saw part of 2 acts-a clown one and a magic one-but they were both pretty lame. We did see a lot of cool reptiles though. It's been going on all week, I was thinking of maybe going to the parade tonight but me and Wade didnt' really feel like it. This is such a beautiful area and I love all the open markets and events going on.

Today's appointment

Today at our appointment, there was some good and bad news. The placenta has moved enough that it looks like I probably won't need a C-section. However, the baby may have a clubbed foot (which honestly doesn't seem that big a deal after everything else) and the amniotic fluid is low. They said it could just be because I'm dehydrated. So instead of going to Jeni's (my sister's) house tomorrow like I had planned, I have to drink plenty of water and then come back on Thursday! If it's still looking like that, I will have to be admitted to the hospital so they can hydrate me with an IV. If I'd known water drinking could have that affect on the amniotic fluid, I would have tried harder at it! I am hoping all will be well and maybe I can still go to Jeni's on Thursday, but we shall see. It is a 3 1/2 hour trip there and I was going to stay a couple days. I was really excited about it. I will be very bummed if I can't go at all. ;-(
