Sunshine on My Shoulders

I love a warm day..ahhhh bring on the sunburn! The boys are napping and I am up lounging outside and it feels so good! The past few days have been so beautiful, that’s why I haven’t updated in a while. We are spending every free minute outside playing, walking, going to the park, taking picnic’s, etc. Jim was able to get a rare weekend off and it felt fantastic to all eat breakfast as a family and spend two full days together! We went to Dick’s Sporting Good’s and loaded up on T-Ball gear for the boys (and Jim) and it’s been baseball love ever since! It’s really neat to see the boys at this stage because they are old enough to run the bases and hit the ball now, it’s just so cute! I love the outdoors so it’s been a good distraction from my uncomfortable state to get out and just breathe some fresh air and get exercise.:)
Friday I had a doctor’s appointment and everything went well EXCEPT one big thing. I have been upset about it for days now: Thursday I’ll hit the 36wk mark and should be going in for checkups every week until the big day. Well, my doctor is going on vacation and said to just hang in there and he’ll see me in 3 weeks. AHHHHH….3 WEEKS?! I’m supposed to be going in every week now…what gives?! There isn’t even a substitute I can see, he said if I have a problem or go into labor, I need to go to the ER. Maybe I am over reacting but I feel abandoned, especially considering how much we pay for medical insurance, and I’m not even getting proper care?! I’m sure it will be fine but I’ve been stressing big time. The good news is that the baby looks great (Dr. said he is probably over 5 lbs now)! I gained only 1 pound but my belly is jutting out so far now it’s funny! I keep spilling things on my bump.:) Oh yeah, today on the show we talked about “Things You Should Never Say to a Pregnant Lady”. The list is pretty cute, I will post it soon, it might be a good public service!:)
