Still pregnant and still working full-time at erection central. The great thing is that they are on a nice tree-lined street down a few feet from Wooddale Church and I go for walks everyday during my lunch break. It is wonderful to clear my head and enjoy the fall weather.

We got rid of our doctor and switched to a midwife at the same clinic/hospital. I had my first appt. with them on Wednesday and it went super well. Her nurse was the greatest woman ever and had the doctor had a nurse like that I may have felt better about things. I had only gained 2# during the 2 week period since my last visit so I was happy about that. I discussed weight with midwife and she didn't understand why I was bringing it up in the first place because I have basically maintained the entire pregnancy. Go figure.

She ordered another ultra-sound since the baby's arrival is so sketchy in my records and if the baby is as big as the previous doctor thinks she is wondering if I would perhaps consider an elective c-section. Yuck. SO, tomorrow while husband is in Buffalo playing paintball with fellas I'm going to go to the hospital for yet another picture of Madeline and see what's up in there.

Other than being SUPER tired because of horrible night-sleep I feel fabulous. Justin and I rode our bikes over to my uncle's last night for him to bring up north for storage this weekend. We then walked back home and other than a gigantic fight on the way back I felt good physically.

Sometimes I think maybe I shouldn't be working right now, so I can be resting up for labor/delivery, but I don't sit still well. The only comfortable position for me lately is standing or walking. Sitting and laying down stink. At least at work my mind is kept busy--sort of. I know they are glad to have my help here and it is nice to have the extra money to take care of some things and do some fun things with husband before Maddy gets here.

I'm feeling sort of lonely and wish I had some friends down here that were interested in discussing pregnancy or doing things like going for a walk or just sitting and drinking water.

Time to jet. I'm taking Justin to see a movie and pepper him with kisses before I tuck him into bed. He is meeting the fellas in Eden Prairie at 6:30 tomorrow mornin'. That's pure insanity. I"m glad he's going though.
