Gorillabuns is a blog I've been reading for years! One of those I sort of feel like I know her... And her tragic story from the last few weeks makes me want to vomit, cry, scream, rage...all of the above at one time.

In a nutshell, her 3 month old, perfectly healthy baby, died of SIDS. And it's awful and makes me physically ill to think about.
There's a paypal site set up for donations if interested. http://whoorl.com/archives/1669
SO. NOT. FAIR.
UGH.

Swine Flu
We don't have it! Thank goodness.
Sorry I haven't posted in a bit. After "THE GREAT TILING PROJECT OF 2009" we have been taking it EASY so not much has been going on!
It got HOOOOOOOOOOT here last week! So I was pretty miserable! But it has cooled down slightly and I'm getting used to it now.
We worked more on "baby stuff" this weekend. Getting all of our big purchases out of the way! We used the gift card from my Indy girls to get our Pack & Play and video monitor (which craig already figured out how to hook up to the big screen-way cool). And we ordered our stroller. We went w/ the Kolcraft 3 wheeler, as recommended by The Wollenburgs!
Other than that, I'm sorry, but we have both just been busy with work so nothing much new going on!
We had some friends over (Larry & Lisa, Josh & Laurie, Erika & Corey) this weekend for dinner & to play Pictionary. It was a blast! Although I remembered why the Cummings brothers used to break out in fist fights during heated Pictionary rounds... it's competitive and hard! Also I suck at drawing but I was pretty proud of my rendition of "Tin Man".
My Tempe Leadership class is getting ready to wrap up this Friday! It has been an amazing experience for me. I've learned so much about the community, city & myself! I'll be sad when we are done, but also glad to be able to focus mostly just on work for the next few months, so I can truly enjoy my maternity leave...

Tile, Baby's Room & Easter
Here's some pics of our "new house"! Along w/ Ellie's room (which isn't completely done yet--we still need our chair & to hang some stuff on the walls) & a couple from Easter. We went to church & to brunch w/ Rog & Jan.

Updated Doctor Report
I had a Dr. Appt this morning... 24 weeks! It's hard to believe. Well over half way. To be honest though, I'm pretty much ready! I'm getting a bit uncomfortable, and I'm not complaining (yet!) because I know it will get worse :)
So, everything looked great! Her heart rate was 143... and if you are like me, and have no idea what that means, the Dr. told me that normal is anywhere between 120 and 160, so she's right in the middle. My measurements were fine and nothing out of the ordinary (aside from the fact that I waited an hour for a five minute appointment--argh)! Next month is our next ultrasound. We're looking forward to that. We also have to do the glucose test, so of course, I'm not looking forward to that. Any words of wisdom?
Other than that, I've been feeling pretty good!
My newest annoying side effect of being prego is Carpal Tunnel... My dr. confirmed that this is what it is. I have had numbness in my right hand for about 3 weeks now. It gets worse while I sleep and has been waking me up... and getting progressively worse by the day. He said to sleep w/ a wrist splint on (to keep it straight), but other than that, it should go away after the birth. There's not much else you can do. I'm thinking of trying acupuncture, but might try the wrist thing first, since it's pretry pricey. Again, not complaining--if this is the worst thing that happens to me, I'll take it! Did any of you have carpal tunnel or other circulation problems???
