No Real News...

Happy Belated 4th of July to everyone!!! I hope you all had a fabulous holiday weekend. Even though I have no real news, I decided to go ahead and post anyway, since everyone keeps asking me when the next post will be up!! Geez, who knew that I had so many cyber stalkers?! ;)

So to get everyone caught up, I've been at my new job for exactly 17 days (if you count today), and they're finally starting to figure out what to do with me! I've been pretty useless and bored for the past couple of weeks, but it looks like I'll be pretty busy in the future, which is great if you're me (because nothing is harder for me than being extremely bored). I've been trying to put in the hours even if there really isn't much going on for me yet, since I feel a little guilty about the fact that I'm going to be leaving for two months of maternity leave when I've only been there for two months total! Either way, the people are really nice and the job seems easy and low-stress (if a little time-consuming), which is exactly what I need right now with a baby on the way!

David was here visiting all of last week, which was amazing. I hadn't seen him in twelve weeks, and he couldn't believe how huge my belly has gotten! We spent a night in Orlando and went to Sea World and Pleasure Island, and we got to eat at one of our very favorite restaurants (Texas de Brazil). The rest of the week we just spent fishing, hanging at the beach and lounging by the pool...it was fantastic. I miss him so much when he's away, and (as cheesy as it sounds) seeing him again is always a little like falling in love with him for the first time. He had so much fun feeling the baby kick and move around, and he talked to him (or her!) every night before we went to sleep. Needless to say, it was horrible to watch him drive away on Sunday...I feel like we're always saying goodbye. I might not see him again for eight weeks (until the baby is born)...but at least after that we'll be together for weeks and weeks!

Baby is doing great...kicking a LOT, and starting to actually hurt me. He (or she) is always trying to squirm up under my ribs, which is even more uncomfortable than it sounds. Sometimes I get kicked so hard that my whole stomach jumps, which makes the whole "there's a little person in there" thing much more real! Other than that, I'm feeling great...starting to get a little tired but nothing unmanageable. Unfortunately, I think I've started to waddle...which I was really hoping to put off until at least 35 or 36 weeks. Oh well...it could be worse I guess! We've pretty much settled on our two names -- Samuel Patrick for a boy and Fiona Susan for a girl. And don't any of you worry your pretty little heads about giving me "ideas" or "suggestions," because we are a little past that point now...and we did it that way on purpose! ;) I'm starting to get excited about meeting this little person, and I'm ready for the day to actually get here already!!

Well, that's all for now...in a week or so I will post another belly shot, so that you can all point and laugh at the enormous circus freak that I've become ;). Love you all!
