My busy day.
Today was a very busy day for me. It started earlier than normal because I had a Doctors appointment today at 10AM, so Mommy had to get up and get showered at 7:45 so that she could feed me before we left. Lucky for Mommy and Daddy, Nana was here to make breakfast or I think I would have been the only one that got to eat. Nana made pancakes and hard boiled eggs. I can't wait till I get to try pancakes, they smelled delicious!
Mommy got my diaper bag all ready to go and Daddy put me in the car seat and we drove to the Doctor's office. Today was the first day that I got to leave the house, my mommy is sooooo overprotective! She says it has been way too hot and humid for us to go on our first walk. In the car, I fell asleep so it didn't seem like it took very long. I know Mommy is worried that I will be like her when she was little and throw up every time we get in the car, but I decided not to throw up today. Mommy had to fill out lots of paperwork at the Doctor's, so Daddy and I got to wait in a separate waiting room away from all the other sick kids and then Mommy came back to stay with us.
When we got called back to the exam room, I decided it was a very good time to fill my diaper! It was a good thing they had a changing table in there! It was a good one. The doctor told me, Mommy, and Daddy that I am doing very well and am healthy. My weight now is 7lbs 13.5 oz, which is in the 50% and my height is 21" which is in the 75%. We are going to go back in 1 week so I can get weighed again to make sure I am at least 8lbs 8 oz again.
On the way home, I fell asleep again and I got to take a nap in the carseat when we got back home. It was very comfortable. Mommy also took a nap, but then she woke me up to feed me. I was sooooo tired I didn't want to eat. Mommy changed my diaper so I would wake up but I had other plans and peed all over her. We went through 2 diapers in one changing! Daddy had to calm Mommy down because I got pee all over my outfit and the changing table and she got flustered. Mommy and Daddy are going to have to think of some new tricks to get me to stay awake so I can eat every 3 hours during the day. Dr. Sprenkle said that I could go every 4 hours at night, at least Mommy and Daddy won't have to wake me up as often at night!
Now I am resting with Daddy and tonight we are going to take a sponge bath and Mommy said that we could go for a walk tomorrow! I am looking forward to that.

Let's Dish!
Last weekend, Brian and I decided to try a place called "Let's Dish". It was fun way to spend an hour together and we made 8 meals (4 different types) for after the baby is born. It was very convenient and they have pre-made labels and cooking directions that we could put right in the bag!
I am looking forward to trying the dishes that we made:
Dry Rubbed Chicken with Parmesan Potatoes
Tropical Shrimp with Mango-Rum glaze
Bacon Wrapped Pork chops with ranch potatoes
and Teriyaki pork tenderloin with cashew pineapple rice.

Update
36 Weeks (June 19, 2010)
The last few weeks have been busy getting things ready, but as of last Wednesday I am relaxing a lot more than I had planned. My blood pressure increased dramatically and the doctor advised me to take it easy. This is something that has been more difficult than I had thought it would be. My mind is racing with things that need to be done (or I guess things I WANT to get done)!
My managers have been great by moving me out of the most stressful departments to areas that I can sit more and try and keep relaxed. The good news is my appointment today went well, and although my blood pressure is still a bit high, the swelling is down and there aren't any other indicators of preeclampsia. Yippee for a super low salt diet! No canned food for me until the baby comes.
One other new and exciting thing for us is we are now getting our weekly box of fresh veggies from our enrollment with a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA). We get different vegetables, some that I have never even heard of, each week and it is a challenge to get them all used up before the next week. Here are some pictures of the last 2 weeks.
Anyone know how I can use Hakurei Turnips?

Baby set-up
Since we are getting down to the final weeks, Brian and I decided to do a bit of set-up around the house.
1. Clean Cars: After looking at these pictures, I am very glad my cousin Beth and sister Stacy were there to help me vacuum and clean my car. I don't think I could get my legs the way Beth's are anymore..... come to think of it.... I don't know that I ever could!
2. Install carseat: Brian assembled the stroller and installed the carseats so that we are ready to go whenever the baby decides to make his/her appearance. I know some might think that it is early, but now I don't have to worry about it anymore. And we have less boxes in our house!
3. Assemble pack-n-play: Mainly I just wanted to see how difficult it was to assemble. Once we found the directions in a random pocket, we didn't have too many problems. It even has setting for music and vibration to soothe the baby.
4. I have also started making double meals and freezing them. Tator tot hotdish and lasagna are done. Next is pulled pork!
