Pregnancy Post 40

Another week has just flown by!

I missed work on Monday due to swelling/headache/nausea issues, but bounced back and am feeling ok. (It wasn't until Wednesday that my headache went away totally, and it's coming back already....but oh well.) Found out on Tuesday that my first exam was Thursday, so that had me extremely stretched out. He had originally guesstimated that our first test would be NEXT week, so i wasn't too concerned. Oops. Swiss Beats totally won that round.

Tuesday I did most of the homework that I hadn't completed yet, and Wednesday was up past midnight making the allowed cheat sheet, while working through the examples in the book he said the test questions would resemble. Turns out HE A LIAH, but I think I passed nonetheless. I studied the complicated problems, that required using all the formulas and theorems...and some of the questions were so basic and simple and didn't apply anything we've learned. I had no idea how to answer them, so I just made some shit up. I feel like I OVER studied. How is that possible? Me working harder on math than necessary? Might be the fist time it's ever happened, ever.

Last night I decided I didn't want to come home right away after work, so I picked up B, and we had a quick dinner out and then took her to buy some winter clothes. It was an impromptu little family date. On the way home she thought she had left her new princess bracelet and ring in the restaurant, so I called to look for it. When I hung up she asked if they had it, and I said no. She burst into the most hearbreaking wail I have ever heard escape from her. "Ohhhhhhhnoooo I lost the new jewelry my great grandma got me!!! What happened to it? What bad guy would take it" and she crumpled into tears. I was sort of impressed she was more sentimental about who the gift had come from than the loss of the actual jewelry. And, happily enough, it turns out she had tried on some of her new clothes and both the bracelet and the ring were wrapped up in one of the hoodies. Wheee!!

Today we had no daycare for B, because Dad and Marcie are headed to Cali to meet baby Emma...so Craig watched her for us! And they had a blast!! He came and picked her up at 7:30 this morning, and dropped her back off at 4:30, exhausted from all the Grandpa Craig excitement. I am so glad he is getting back to himself after 3-4 months of hiding out because he couldn't hear. Since B was spent, Rico and I headed out for a mini date. I wanted to take him to Slice of the Peak, but we decided to avoid the Street Vibrations nonsense. We went to Pinocchio's instead, which was delish as always. I love their chicken and spinach lasagna. Luuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrv it. Then we went to Babies R Us and did our registry! BABY STUFF. Exciting. I think the first time we did a resgistry it was a million pages long, and this time it was only a few. I know people are going to buy the Spud lots of clothes and stuff anyways, so we didn't put any of that on there. The crib and changing table we are going to buy ourselves, but we picked it out and scanned it so we won't forget which one we both like.

BABY STUFF. Giddiness. I can't wait to meet him. I am already so round that strangers are arguing with me and trying to convince me I MUST be due right away....like I'd really lie about him coming at the end of December.
