The Middle Chapters

I love my in-laws. We had a wonderful trip back east filled with food, a surprise baby shower, the Ansel Adams exhibit and poker. After reminding myself that I didn't have to entertain anyone, I simply relaxed and had fun. I also got a wonderful surprise - my mom is actually coming out of my baby shower here at home this weekend, that is, if she made the reservation right. Of course the first thing I thought of is what we need to do to entertain her and what we need to do to the house to prepare, but no, we came up with a few ideas; the housekeeper is coming Friday and we'll leave it to that.

I'm getting really uncomfortable. Sleeping is getting difficult. I didn't think this would hit so soon. Everything was great at the doctor's today. Weight up to 160.5 lbs, swollen feet that the doctor isn't worried about (and apparently could be a side effect of the ibuprofen), measuring on schedule at 29 cms (right on for 29 weeks), and plenty of amniotic fluid. The doctor suggested an ultrasound to check growth next week - sounds good to me. I'm going to try to schedule it so that my mom can come and see the little girl. Oh, and no gestational diabetes. The world is good.
