Ward Words

Still pregnant. Had a bit of an adventure last week, but did not result in a baby coming home yet. Wednesday morning I was taking Wembley outside and it had rained during the night so the deck was wet. I, being huge and off balance, slipped and fell. It didn't hurt me, but I called the midwife anyway and she wanted me to come in just to be safe. I had a non-stress test and also went for a biophysical ultrasound to make sure everything was ok--it was. Baby passed 8/8 tests on the biophysical (don't ask me what they are, I was just concerned it was ok!). I went back on Thursday for a followup, and everything continued to check out ok, so we are in the clear. Baby has dropped some more since the last appointment, so things are moving in the right direction. I've been doing my part to help move it along with the ball bouncing, tea drinking, and spicy food eating 3 nights in a row. Eh. I think baby will choose to come when it is ready (which is hopefully soon!). Lucas and I did some major cleaning this weekend, so the house feels like it is good to go. I planned to bake some Christmas cookies today, but forgot we were almost out of flour. Don't feel like braving the mobs at the store, so that will have to wait.

Today is my first day of unemployment. I decided last Friday would be my last day of work so that I could spend this week doing last minute things, or having a baby should it choose to come early...It is odd to not have a job. I am both sad and happy about this at the same time. Although, the sad could just be the insane amount of hormones coursing through my veins at the moment...mood swings and I are not strangers these days!

I got a haircut this morning, probably against my better judgment. It was nothing major--just a 1/2 inch trim and some layers in the front. At least, that is what I asked for. I'm not sure the lady I went to had ever cut layers before. She kept asking me if she was doing it right--hmmm, not a good sign when she is asking the person sitting under the scissors for advice. I'm not too worried about it because I'll probably continue just wearing a ponytail everyday anyway...but in the future, I'll save any haircuts for a place I trust, not the one that sent a coupon in the mail for $4 off a $14 haircut...

I don't think I have any new pictures to post so you'll have to make due with the nursery ones from a few days ago. Nevermind, I lied. I have this supercute picture of Wembley, stealing my pregnancy pillow. He loves pillows.
