this and that

-Sam and I were finally united again on Monday after being apart for 3 weeks. Way too long! I spent 3 weeks at home enjoying being lazy and spending lots of time with family. Sam spent the first week finishing finals, 2nd week in California playing with his family-I couldn't go, my Dr. said travel time was too long, and 3rd week doing an internship in Palm Springs at the Betty Ford center. And no, Sam was not a patient at the clinic. Everyone in Houston was freaking out that I was going to have my baby in Houston. There was no need to worry. I made it back to Lubbock safe and sound and am still pregnant as ever!

-Since we have been back in Lubbock we have been staying busy getting the nursery ready and trying to do activities that we won't be able to do as easily once our little man is here. We Googled the top 10 activities to do in Lubbock and are trying to do them.

-Sam has been putting a LOT of baby things together.

-This week I went to the Dr. and had an ultrasound. The Dr. said that little James already weighs 6 lbs and 13 oz!!! Yikes! From here on out they are supposed to gain an oz a day! That puts him tipping the scales around 8 and a half lbs if he goes full term!! The Dr. also said I was not progressing at all!!! 0 dilated and 0 effaced. Dang. I have another Dr.'s appt tomorrow and hopefully there has been some progression! As of 3 days ago my feet and ankles have started to swell!! Gross!

-Sam has finished his first year of med school!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are soo excited!! He worked soo hard all year and did really well! I am one proud wife! This is his only summer so we are trying to make the most of our few weeks together before the baby comes. It is soo nice that both of us aren't working! We get to spend all day together!

-Pics of the nursery to come.

-We went to the drive-in movie theater this weekend and saw a double header with some friends. We saw The Proposal and UP. I stayed up the whole time for both of them which is something I never do-well, ok until the last 30 mins. We were excited to see both of the movies but were not super impressed with either of them, especially UP. Sad. I think that I just have way too high expectations for movies.

-I have been going vinyl letter crazy! I added these animals and trees to my safari bathroom. The "Always Kiss Me Goodnight" I put above our bed.

-Goodbye truck, hello Jetta! Sam is sad that we had to get rid of his truck. He loved that truck. It was his baby! However, a car seat would not fit in it. So, when he went down to CA he switched cars with his sister. We gave her the truck and she gave us the more family friendly Jetta. We definitely got the better end of the deal! Thanks Cindy! Someday Sam will be able to by himself another truck. Oh, don't worry I still have the grocery getter. I think we will have that beauty forever.-A free museum on campus. It had a few interesting exhibits.-Bowling. I have head that it induces labor. We went on Sat. and are planning on going again tomorrow!-Marble Slab ice cream. What could be better?!
