miscellaneous tidbits

Random stuff that has happened to us this week (in no particular order)

1. ANTS!!!!!! Our kitchen (well, specifically, the bottom of the pantry where we keep the cat food) has been invaded by ants. YUK! They have decided to make several homes for themselves right along the edge of the garage (which leads right into the kitchen). We have been spraying and stomping and cleaning extra hard. Nothing seems to be working. I am heading to the store soon to get some super strength stuff. Hopefully it will work. (Have I mentioned that I can't stand the smell of bug killer when I'm NOT pregnant?)

2. Doctor's Appointment - I'm still fine. The baby is still fine. We took the glucose test. Now, I do have to say that the orange stuff they have you drink wasn't nearly as bad as I had imagined, but it was really hard for me to drink that much of it in 5 minutes. I think, mostly, I had issues with the carbonation. It was fine though and, as long as I don't hear from them, we are glucose tolerant. I did, however, gain 8 pounds this month! Yikes! I have only gained like 10 the whole time. Way to nearly double your weight gain, fatty!!!! The doctor is not worried yet, I just shouldn't do it every month.

3. Crib - We came home from our doctor's appointment and found our crib sitting on our porch! Yea!!!! We managed to put it together (I really don't know what these people have against screwdrivers instead of crazy little wrenches) and I think it looks good. Now, we just need the other furniture, paint, decorate and to put everything away.....no problem......

4. Things actually got crossed off the to-do list! We finished emptying the filing cabinets, moved them out of the house (thanks Stu!) and moved all the furniture (and other junk) from the baby's room to their new homes in other parts of the house. We also managed to do smaller things like cleaning the refridgerator.

5. Alicia's birthday fun - We went to Comedy Sportz with Stu and Lauren on Friday, had a lazy day full of Nintendo on Saturday (after my wonderful brother moved all of our furniture) and Sunday, went to breakfast, spent some time with Alicia's brother and had dinner and played games with Amy and Ben. There was some unpleasantness (mulching) in there, but I think overall it was okay. Alicia is the best for putting up with me and my preggo self. I love you, baby!

Okay, I need to go run errands and do laundry before we leave for "shower: round 2" tomorrow.

I promise the ants were not in there while I was watching your cats.

Stu is a beast for moving that filing cabinet by himself.

And having seen you in person, you do NOT look big at all. Seriously. I think I had gained more weight by like the third month with Shay than you have gained total.
