Since I'm keeping up with my book reading on this blog, I figured I better hurry up and post this before the new year.  I finished books 2 and 3 in the Harry Potter series and watched the movies.  My mom actually has ALL the movies on dvd, so I grabbed those over Christmas.  Now I can erase what I have on dvr and free up some space.

Happy New Year's Eve!  Billy is actually planning on staying up with me until midnight.  I'm going to guess that about 10:00 he's not going to be able to pretend to stay awake anymore and drag himself to bed.  I usually stay up reading.  Hopefully, I will notice the clock at midnight.

Sheldon loves to snuggle.

I hardly ever read books twice, so I surprised myself the other day by grabbing the first Harry Potter book from my piles of books and reading the entire thing in about a week.  I've got almost all the movies dvr'd and so right after I read the book, I actually watched the Sorcerer's Stone movie the very same night.  Maybe I'll go ahead and read the entire series again.

30 weeks!  Only 10 more weeks to go, which seems crazy to me.  We should have her room completed sometime next month.  I'll definitely need to post some pics.

Everything was good at my appointment yesterday.  I'll start going every 2 weeks now.  And I have a new pregnancy symptom - I'm not sleeping very well at all.  Of course, that could be Sheldon related too.  He crowds me out and won't let me have any covers.  A pillow between my knees feels better, but there's hardly any room for that.  Baby is moving like crazy and I love it!

I'm going ahead and posting my 30 week pics, even though they are not the greatest.  Billy took them and he doesn't exactly make me feel comfortable in front of the camera.  He kept telling me that I moved, I kept telling him that I was standing there forever and only moved when I saw his finger was off the button, and then he says something about the camera was still taking the picture even thought his finger came off the button.  What?!  I don't know.  I thought the heart pose would be cuter, but I'm not sure you can even tell I'm pregnant.  Maybe I'll try again.

Hmmmm.....why is the rest of my work schedule calendar empty?  Oh, that's right, I'm quitting! 5 more hours and I'm done!  I know the baby isn't due until February, but I really didn't want to work through the holidays.  When you work in retail, you can't enjoy them.  So, this will be the first time in 17 years that I will actually get to enjoy Thanksgiving and Christmas.  I'm so excited!  Ok, it feels a little weird and I'm a little scared too, but more than anything I'm excited!

These two together are something else.  Sheldon is on the left and my sister's dog, Indie, is on the right.  They love love love to play.  And they play hard.  Sheldon played too hard while visiting last Saturday, and he tore his front paw pads.  BOTH front paws. I think they only bled a minute and he limped around the next day, but they look pretty good so I think they will heal just fine.  Crazy dogs.

26 weeks!  Yesterday's appointment went fine.  Did the usual - blood pressure check (it was a little high, but lower the second time they checked it right before I left), weigh in (I'm not telling yet), peed in a cup (I can't see what I'm doing when I do this!  Haha), and listened to the baby's heartbeat (yay!). I drank the orange glucose drink (and I liked it!), so they took blood this visit.  And I got my flu shot.  I'm pretty sure I've never had one before.  New pregnancy symptom - lower back pain, I mean really lower.  Actually, I should just say it's like butt cramps.  Thankfully, Google tells me I'm not alone.

We went to my family's house last Saturday and my sister took some pics for me.  I didn't plan very well, otherwise I would have worn a different shirt and put on real shoes instead of slippers.  Although, my slippers are about the only pair of shoes that fit my big feet nowadays.
