Last scheduled ultrasound today

We get to see Rachel again today! We're expecting her to be even bigger! Hopefully nothing much has changed except her size! My appointment isn't until 330 this afternoon, so I still have quite a while to wait! I've already had my cherry Coke for the day though! She should be jumping! :-) I just hope the contractions haven't done anything to me or her! I want her to come *on time*!!! This is our last scheduled ultrasound b/c my last chemo is on Monday! Yippee!

I entered a contest on Facebook today. Its for HugAMonkey - they make baby slings that I absolutely LOVE. Anyway, the contest was to paint a pregnant belly. Here's the result!

Since Rachel is due on Thanksgiving Day I figured there was nothing more appropriate than a turkey! It was actually really fun to do! If we win I get two free HugAMonkey slings! Today is the last day to enter! I hope it works!

Almost too cool

I feel like Goldi-locks. Yesterday, the weather was beautiful for having the windows open & enjoying the outdoors. Today I'm actually a bit cold. Of course, that's perfect for the Hoppin John soup I'm making w/ a side of corn-bread. I've got my little boy in his race-car bed taking a nap & then we're probably going to try to go outside & enjoy the fall weather. I've actually got laundry drying outside. The wind isn't blowing like yesterday, so I'm not sure the laundry is going to dry. Oh well, I have a dryer, I just love the idea and smell of outdoor fresh laundry. I'm going to go enjoy it!

Windows open!

Today was a great example of God's air conditioning! The windows were open, the trees are still green - although they're turning, the breeze was steady, and overall it was a beautiful day. For most of the afternoon I sat out on my front porch on my canopy swing enjoying the outdoors. Hopefully I'll be able to do the same tomorrow!

I had a blood test today & my levels are slighly low, but not low enough to cause any concern. In my opinion, they're low enough to account for my exhaustion (altho everyone else seems to think I've got plenty of other things to cause that exhaustion too) and the fact that I just can't seem to get enough rest. I'm going to keep trying to be restful though. In one more week I have my last chemo treatment until after Rachel is born! Yippee!
