I can't count

Well... I am 30 weeks not the 31 weeks I thought I was... Which means I have to add a whole week back in to how long I have left.

Funny things at the appointment:

~ Found out that I can't count.
~ Found out that the lady at the front desk had printed out the sheet for my 36 week appt leading to some minor confusion among the staff.
~ While listening to the baby's heartbeat, she gave a kick. When N asked about it, the doctor said she'd let N hear the baby kick again. Baby didn't move. (stubborn girl!!)
~Totally forgot to ask half the questions I had because of laughing about the fact that I can't count. (And because A was walking out of the room) So, I need to call and ask the rest of my questions.

It went well considering that I felt as though I'd been punched in the face. I'd been to the dentist in the morning and had 2 fillings done. Fortunately, I had a sitter for the dental appointment!

And if anyone missed it... we found out that we are having girl #3. So... any girl name suggestions will be welcomed for consideration!

Anyway, that's what is going on here!

Visitors from the West...

Andrew & Shery came to visit us this weekend. We have had a great time hanging out and seeing some new places in our area.

They arrived Saturday evening. Sunday morning, we all managed to drag ourselves out of bed in enough time to make it to church. The rest of the day was fairly lazy. I went grocery shopping. N entertained Shery as she rested in N's room. A took a very long nap. Michael and Andrew watched several shows on Netflix. I did go to the church again in the evening for Celebrate Recovery, but once again, no one showed up.

Monday, we got up bright and early to go visit the USS North Carolina. Actually... we got up around 9am, decided where we were going to go by around 10am and actually got on the road around 11am.

We had a great time wandering the ship. I do have to confess between the camera bag and the belly, there were a few places that were difficult to get through. A did well this time and went up and down the stairs with out a fuss.

N's favorite part about seeing the ship again was the lower deck tour. A's favorite part about the ship was having fun going down the steps without getting scared. My favorite part was when A said that she needed the bathroom. I took her off the ship and sat in the area with the vending machines after the bathroom stop. By the time the rest of the crew finished the tour, I had almost stopped sweating. Even with all the fans and air vents below the decks, it was still extremely hot. I can not imagine being assigned to a ship like that in the heat of summer!

Tuesday, we browsed a book and the computer for some good activities since the original plan to visit Ft Macon was being rained out. We finally settled on the Wilmington Rail Road Museum. It was a small museum, but it was lots of fun. I think a few boys in particular would enjoy seeing it. Afterward, we went over to the Cotton Exchange. I am not sure what the original buildings were used for, but there were 8 buildings that had been restored and turned into shops and restaurants. It was fun to wander around, but unfortunately, we left the Rail Road Museum about 4:30 and the Cotton Exchange closed at 5:30. So, definitely a trip we will have to make again.

We had a great time with Andrew & Shery. I know all of us wish they could have stayed a few days longer though.

Pictures to come later...

Overheard

A: (while hugging me and patting my belly) "I love you baby." (looking up at me) "Not you. The baby in your belly."

A: "I don't want to look cute in shorts! I want to look cute in a dress!!"


(In the truck) Me: "We are going to go to a museum and then we are going to go see some shops."
A: "I don't like shots!"
Me: "We're going to go shopping. Not to get shots."
Laughter all around...

Seen

Driver carries no cash.
He's married.

Sounds like a conversation that A & I had a while back about me having all of Daddy's money...
