Ok, its been a while since I've written. The main thing that has occured, is that I have had the flu three times! There are three strains going around Texas and I have been lucky enough to get a taste of each. (I blame my primary class and cub scout den.) The last time was the worst, I thought Neil was going to have to take me to the hospital. My temperature kept going up, up, up. And the worst part is I have tried really hard my entire pregnancy not to take any medicine but tylenol was the only thing that could control the fever. Don't worry I also visited the doctor and the baby is doing fine.
On that fun doctors trip I learned that I have now gained 30 lbs!!!!!!! it is totally healthy but not something any women wants to hear. Five weeks and one day to go until my due date! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I also try not to think about actually having to give birth. yuck.
Also of note, my friend Emily threw me a great baby shower last weekend. She made these delicious eclairs from scratch! yummy! And there was a rockin' pictionary/charades game :) I had a great time but my body crashed after the party and I spent the rest of the weekend in bed. I'll be posting pictures later. I realized after that I didn't get any pictures with me in them though!
Neil has been a champ through my bouts with the flu. He has cleaned our house, brought me roses and chocolates, cooked numerous dinners, rubbed my feet, and is right now out grocery shopping :) Three cheers for him!

You poor, poor girl! THREE bouts of the flu?!?! I've spent the winter having one cold after another, but not the flu! How awful.
It's scary to watch the scale go up, up, up, especially once the weight gain really picks up in the last half of pregnancy. But oh how lovely to watch it go down, down, down after the baby's born! It will!
I'm glad you are back to blogging- I was getting a bit annoyed of the "christmas count down" post. hehe. i hope you're feeling all better!
Only 30 lbs and you are mad? Meredith, I gained 50 lbs with Makenzie, you can't even complain!! And right now I am 20 wks along and I am already at 25 lbs total gain!! I have to say I beat you when it comes to weight gain. (just to let you know nursing burns it all off, it ROCKS!!).
If you plan on getting the epidural labor will be a breeze. It is the coolest, awesomest, amazing moment of your life! Enjoy it... get the DRUGS!!! I love you! can't wait to see that baby :)
