5 more weeks...WHOA

So, its been awhile since I have written. I feel sort of guilty since a lot of people said they were enjoying the blog. BUT I have had carpal tunnel so bad that I can only be on the computer for about 5 minutes before my hands go completely numb. Annoying! Yes. But managable if I stay off the computer and wear my "Tron" braces, as Nick calls them. Incidentally, I looked up a picture of Tron since I didnt know what the heck he was talking about, and aside from the helmet and full body suit, I suppose my hand braces do look a bit Tronesq.

Carpal tunnel in mind, this will be short and sweet.

Update:

I watch a lot of TV, primarily "A Haunting," "The Deadliest Catch" and in the past few days, "Oprah." All on DVR. Why watch them live when you can record them and watch them when you want :)

It now takes me about an hour to get ready if I go anywhere. It used to take me 15-20 minutes. My hands have become so swollen and numb that I cant feel when I wash my hair or put lotion on. And I can barely even close my fists. Weird. Putting on lotion has also become a big chore. I can barely reach my legs now :) Can I remind you...pregnancy is sweeeeeeeeeeeet!

We have managed to get Riley's room in some semblance of order. Well, the crib is up with the bedding in it and that is cool. We still have some last minute details to attend to, like wall decorations, but as Nick keeps saying: he wont even know the difference...AND he wont even be in that room for months so we have some time. Even though I logically know that Nick is right, my type A personality says...get the room done before July 23. And so we will :)

I have been able to do random chores and have successfully renewed my drivers license and am currently applying to the BBS to get my intern # for MFT. Whoo Whooo! Fingerprinting tomorrow. I wonder if my swollen fingers will skew my fingerprints. Man, I hope I dont come back as a serial murderer. Cause a lot of them probably have chubby fingers. Or not.

Loki had his surgery to get neutered a few weeks ago. Poor buddy. But he is doing great! Still getting bigger. Doozer and him are becoming besties. Its super cute. And Puppy is still cranky, but since she is almost 80 in cat years, I think that is ok.

Nick is busy, busy, busy at work. He got top 8 at the Jiu Jitsu World Championships. Out of 47, I thought that was pretty cool.

Nick had his first almost fathers day this past weekend. We spent it with his little bro, his wife and our niece in Santa Cruz. That was a ton of fun! And so was Cobbs wedding. Congrats again you guys!!!

I have been trying to sleep in a lot since I keep hearing everyone say "catch up on sleep now." I pretty much feel like a fat, lazy turd when I sleep in, but I am sure in a few months I will regret it if I dont take advantage now.

Time keeps feeling like it is FLYING by! Its kinda sad. I really like this time off thing :)

We finally went to a baby class without that annoying couple that I always talk about. But this time there was a replacement annoying couple. This lady in front of us wanted everyone to know that she knew more than the instructor even though it was obvious she had no clue. At one point the instructor asked: "how many of your babies have had the hiccups?" To which the annoying lady responded "Um, we dont have babies yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!" As if to say DUH instructor. And then the lady next to her said "In the womb...DUH!" Hahahaha. And then to make things more annoying...her husband kept turning around and staring down Nick and me. It was really creepy! They also copied us when we were learning how to swaddle our baby doll.

So...I think that is a pretty good update. I have just been waddling around and making my way through every day.

OH, and just remember, if I dont write you back on email, its cause my hands are numb, not cause I dont like you. And same goes for Thank You cards. I am slowly working on those too. Not to be too generic, but I have been feeling guilty...so I feel like I should say this now...THANK YOU to everyone who has bought us gifts. We love all of them! You guys ROCK! Riley's room wouldnt be the same without you guys!

And I am out...
