Today Adam came home from his conference.  We went out for a late lunch and spent the rest of the day hanging out at home.

Today I took a few photos for Taryn of Tanner in her ballet recital costume.  The kids had a great time, as usual, playing together after the photo session was over.

We ordered bedding for the girls' bunk beds from Uncle Asher and it came today.  The girls loved it!

I had my 37 week midwife appointment today.  I didn't have any significant changes from last week, except for the fact that the head was even lower.  The biggest thing I have been concerned with was my Group B Strep screening and it was negative!  The hospital that I am delivering at requires a 2 day minimum stay, antibiotics during labor and monitoring and testing of the baby following delivery if you test positive.  I am hoping to be released the same or next day and this test was my biggest obstacle in making that happen.  I am very relieved.

Frozen yogurt tubes.  Best summertime snack ever.

Today was a hot one!  I really appreciated today that I won't be pregnant through the Georgia Summer.  Shila and I attended a LLL meeting with some of our friends and spent the rest of the day at the house relaxing and getting ready for baby.  I felt pretty miserable yesterday so I am trying to rest as much possible.  This evening the little one is really giving me some sharp contractions so I am trying to hurry through this blog and get to bed.  I visit the midwife tomorrow and I am really curious to see what she has to say.  As much as I am trying to keep this baby in, I have decided it's best to be prepared so today I made sure to have everything ready.  The bag is packed, the car seat is installed, the baby clothes are washed and ready.  We are pretty much set.  Oh, except for the minor detail of her name...  I promise at some point she will have one.  ;o)

I have many pictures of both Courtney and Jody that I could post for their birthdays, but I do not have the time to sift through my photo boxes.  Hopefully, one of these days, I will be more organized.


Happy Birthday Courtney!

Courtney is one of the first friends I made after moving to San Diego, California.  We worked together in Hell and formed a very close bond.  ;o)  Courtney, I love you very much and truly appreciate your friendship.  I hope you have a wonderful birthday.

This picture cracks me up because I can't imagine how Courtney ever talked me into wearing her dress out in public.  I guess I conceded because we were hitting a club after her college graduation.  It was all for her.

Courtney and I out to dinner in Long Beach, CA.

Happy Birthday Jody!

Jody and I met as a result of the Hell job that Courtney and I worked at together, but we became friends after we started working together at a law office.  We formed some pretty strong bonds in that office too... working in the trenches.  Jody, you are a beautiful person and I deeply cherish your friendship.  Happy Happy Birthday!!
