We saw Dr. T today and for once I didn't get in any trouble. Gained 2 pounds, so I'm up to +13. She confirmed my suspicions that I've been having a few Braxton-Hicks contractions, guess Tot's practicing for her big debut. Dr. T also said they'd be able to get a better idea on size in about 3 weeks, but that right now I'm measuring right on schedule - about 33 weeks. She doesn't think Tot's going to be a particularly big baby at this point, which is good news to the one who is planning to give birth to her!
Our next appointment is going to be on our 3 year wedding anniversary, September 30. After that I think I'll start going every week. We're getting closer...

Deja Vu
We go back to see the Tot Doc on Wednesday. Tonight I'm sitting here watching The Biggest Looser while trying to pack on an extra pound be eating my second bowl of chicken and dumplings and a ration of BBQ potato chips. I need a couple of pounds this week to make Dr. T happy, and I have to find it without eating extra sugar. Now that's just a pain in the rear.
I'm dying to know how big Tot is now. We haven't gotten an update since June, when she was "pretty darn big." I figure they'll start making guesses when I get closer to 36 weeks, but my curiosity is killing me.

Tot Turns 33
We celebrated Tot's 33rd week of baking by making sure she was nice and clean. I've posted several pics on my FB account, and a few of those are also on my Flickr, but here's an updated pic of Tot from today:
We had an AWESOME shower. We had a lot of fun and it was one of the few showers I've ever been to where there were no duplicate gifts at all. The food was fantastic, and I even snuck a cupcake. Cupcakes associated with a baby shower have no sugar in them. It's a rule.
We go back to the doc on Wednesday. We'll see how much trouble I get in this time!

A Little Flu Humor
I totally stole this from my friend Danielle's Facebook status:
What is the difference between the bird flu and the swine flu..... the bird flu requires "TWEETment" and the swine flu requires "OINKment".
I'm so adding that to my very short list of really bad jokes.
And here's a little something my MIL sent me this morning that I also found hysterical:

A little flu humor for your weekend. I'm getting psyched up for the first baby shower on Sunday and waiting on my mother to make a decision about when she's actually going to show up at my house. Could be any time between now and Sunday at 2! Good thing she raised me to be the flexible type. Hope you all have a fantastic weekend! Hopefully I'll have some new pics of Tot from the shower to post next week, just to prove I really am getting larger.

Graduation
We officially graduated from baby class tonight. Got our certificate and everything. Guess that means we're officially approved to bring Tot home when the time comes.
We got a tour of the new hospital facilities tonight as well. The bathrooms on the postpartum floor are awesome. Seriously. I should have taken pictures. I'd seen the rooms and the nursery and everything when BFF Jen was there back in February, but I never went in the bathroom. It's bigger than both the bathrooms in my house combined. And they have hair dryers and robes and slippers and everything in there. The nurse said we got to take the slippers home, even. Dude.
The rooms also have small fridges and its the only floor in the hospital where you can custom order your meal trays. They even have a photographer contracted to come in and do newborn pics while you're in the hospital. Ok, I find that a little over the top. I mean, it's neat and all, but don't you have enough people coming in and out of your room at all hours of the day and night at that point?
Anyway, the facilities are really nice. All of the nurses I met during the classes were super nice. I feel pretty good about the whole thing. Now we just... wait.
