can't sleep

It is like 5:45 am and I have already been up for hours... I can't sleep!! It is SUMMER and I am supposed to be SLEEPING, but I just can't get comfortable! Jared and I really need a queen size bed. We only have a full size and between Jared's feet hanging off the bed and me sleeping on my side with pillows all around me and my body pillow right in the middle of us, there is no room! We are going to deal with it and just wait it out until we move into a house, but some nights are just bad! Not to mention my body wakes me up to pee every 2 hours and if I try to ignore it and go back to sleep it just makes it worse! Oh well! Since I am up I will write a blog and update what has been going on lately....

Last weekend was 4th of July weekend. Jared had to work, so we didn't really do anything exciting at all. I baked a 4th of July cake and 4th of July cupcakes for Jared to take to his work. They looked so cute- sorry no picture though! He said everyone really liked them. :) So, while Jared worked on Saturday night, I stayed home and dealt with Fred who is scared to death of fireworks. They started at about 4:30 in the afternoon and poor Fred.... or poor me... it was a long night! Of course I did not even think about all the "leftover" fireworks that people were going to set off on Sunday night! Sunday night was a rough night, too! Fred is so annoying! He paces around wimpering and shaking and probably makes his doggy blood pressure go through the roof!

Yesterday, July 8, I had my 34 week doctor's appointment. I love my doctor, but lately every time I go I end up waiting forEVER!!!!! My appointment was at 9:30 and I did not see my doctor until after 11!!!! Then once she comes in, my actual appointment only takes about 2 minutes! Luckily, Stacy went with me so I was not sitting there all by myself! My appointment went well. Every appointment is the same routine: weigh in, check blood pressure, pee in a cup, wait for doctor, listen to heartbeat, and ask questions. Everything was good! :) Oh yeah, my doctor did have results from my kidney stone... they kept the stone to see what it was made of and it was calcium. I drink a LOT of milk... a LOT a LOT... but she told me that was fine. She just said not to take any extra calcium pills (which I am not) besides my prenatal vitamin. If I keep getting kidney stones then I will have to see a urologist, but hopefully, that was a one time thing for me! I go back in 2 weeks and from that appointment on starts my weekly visits. Guess I will be spending a lot of time sitting in the waiting room! ha

Jayden is due the week teachers report back to work, the week before the kids start school. I am going to be setting up my classroom early, but I have to wait until my room is ready--painted and cleaned. I found out this week that my room is now ready so I am going to start working next week! I'm sure I will update about that next week.....

Also, I have a baby shower coming up this weekend! I am really excited!!!

That's pretty much what's going on here!!! Stay tuned....
