It must be a mix of the gorgeous weather, and it being the weekend but i'm super freaking restless right now. i want to get out and go DO something. not sit here and watch stupid movies i don't care about. dax's mom is coming by later and is teaching us to cook stuff, so we'll already be pent up in the house during that time. ughhhhhhhhhh. i want to get out while i still can and i'm tied down with a baby at home all alone.
my 30 week appointment was yesterday, usually my appointments are on tuesdays but my doc was out of the office that day so we had to make it friday. i passed my glucose screen with like a 92 or something. yay! that means no gestational diabetes for me.
we bought a childbirth class on dvd via ebay for like 11 bucks. which is awesome because even on amazon, used, it was still like 30 or 40 something. we watched pretty much all of the classes already...the next disc talks about medications and c-sections and forceps and vacuums. eesh. watching that video brought back all that fear about having to actually push a big ol' baby out of my body. i really almost started to cry and have an anxiety attack. i dont know how on earth i'm going to be when it hits me that this is it and it's time to do all the crap i've been learning about. i'm not good in situations like that.
i think i already picked out my focal point for laboring. hehehe. we have a framed picture of chewy on our coffee table and i think it would be the best focal point ever. staring at my baby, whether in real life or a picture, always makes me happy and feel better. i think he'll do a good job of helping me relax. i'm really nervous that when it comes down to it, i'm going to forget everything i've learned. like breathing and all that crap. i tend to be like that with everything. i can learn lots of stuff and tell you how to do it, but when it comes to me actually using it and translating it to my life, i can't do it worth a crap. i don't know why that is.
everyone is getting their invitations and that makes me happy. i can't wait for the shower, it's so soon! however, i do not enjoy being in the spotlight. blehhh. and the day before the shower we have a labor & delivery tour at the hospital. i'm excited about that too.
well, i guess this is all for today. i don't even know why i decided to update this thing.

I hope you don't think this is too weird, but I saw your comment on Girls Gone Child and came to lurk your blog (even though I don't have one myself...). I grew up in the HEB/Colleyville area and just had a baby girl two months ago. As I've been reading your entries, I feel like I could have written them myself when I was pregnant (Evie was even a top name choice of mine). I had so many of the same thoughts and fears and concerns. Unfortunately, I didn't blog my experience. I kind of wish I had!
Anyway, I think we have a lot in common. If you ever want to chat, share experiences, get a little advice from someone who seriously relates to you, haha...please IM me or something. My AIM name is vespertineheat.
I have a Flickr account if you care to see my little baby (and also why I might think we have stuff in common-your belly pictures remind me of mine):

I don't think it's weird at all, but totally awesome!! How old are you, we could very well know some of the same people!
I agree, we do seem to have stuff in common, atleast from what i've gathered from your pregnancy photos. totally precious, by the way. As is your baby girl! I loved all the pictures you guys had. Which reminds me, today I must go take my 32 week photo!
I'm totally down for sharing experiences and talking and what have you. My AIM name is janitorjoe2002. strange, i know.
