Nothing really exciting to report. Had my 37 week checkup yesterday. No weight gain. Blood pressure was great. Urine was clear. Baby's heartbeat was an active 162. Tested positive for Group B Strep- just means I need antibiotics during delivery again. I have another appointment next Friday with an internal- that's if I don't go into labor before then. And I don't anticipate going into labor this week...I have too much to do!

On Friday I had my 36 week appointment. Lovely Group B Strep swab- get the results next week. I'm a fingertip dilated (aka- not much at all). My blood pressure was great, there was a trace amount of protein in my urine (nothing of concern), still below my pre-pregnancy weight, and baby's heartbeat was 162 bpm. I go back again next Friday unless of course something changes (which I doubt will happen!)

Last night Ken & I also went to a wedding. When I was pregnant with Nicholas we only had one wedding to attend- when I was 36 weeks pregnant. This pregnancy we again had only one wedding to attend- when I was 36 weeks pregnant. It seems to be a trend. Wearing heels for me is a PITA to begin with, and being this pregnant made it even more not pleasant. I was so happy to get home and pull my shoes off!

Here is a picture of me from last night...didn't think to get one of me & Ken. @@

I know...bad blogger! I'm trying to be better!

Anyway, this past weekend Ken and I took Nicholas to the Day Out With Thomas in Strasburg, PA. Nicholas is a typical two year old boy who LOVES Thomas and trains in general. So going to see Thomas in person was about as good as Christmas in his eyes!

It was definitely packed, and there were lots of activities to do, but we kept it low-key and just rode Thomas, had our picture taken, and visited the gift shop. We did meet up with one of my online friends and her family, so we had fun hanging out with them as well. If Thomas comes back next year we definitely plan on coming again!

So...I had a bit of an adventure on Monday. The morning started out fine, but right around lunch things got crazy.

Start off with Nicholas having the rankest smelling diaper known to man. (Um...the kid eats apples a million times a day- seeds & all!) So I manage to clean that and my phone rings. It's my mom. I'm not even on the phone with her 5 minutes when Ken's cat starts puking (yes...when the cat is puking, he is 100% Ken's cat!). Well, vomit & I don't mix. I start gagging (and quickly hang up with my mom), and then I end up throwing up and was a complete mess. So I decided I needed to take a shower to clean up and relax.

I take Nicholas up to his room, put the gate up at the top of the stairs and then locked my bedroom door so he couldn't get in there. There's just too much for him to get into, including the laundry room. I took a shower, wrapped myself in a towel, opened the door, and realized that I didn't have the key to get back in my room. So I had no clothes, and my fat 8 1/2 month pregnant butt just broke down. I called Ken crying...he could barely understand me, but he ended up coming home to let me back in the room.

Needless to say, I don't plan on locking the bedroom door any time soon!
