Carpal Tunnel Heat Wave

So in the last 3 days I have developed symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome brought on by preggo swelling. And remember that awesome thing I talked about months ago where I think I am going to puke, but then I sneeze. Ya, thats back in full swing too. No vomiting, yet, but the nausea is back. Sweeeeeeeeeeet!

Luckily sneezing helps take it away. Weird, but true. Perhaps I should start keeping a pepper shaker near me at all times. Hmmm.

O ya, I wanted to say thanks to those who were able to make the shower last weekend. We had a blast! And tons of thanks to Nicks sister, Cody, his mom, Betsy, and my friends Clark and Ed who got the whole thing together for us. You guys ROCK!!!!

Everyone rocks. Even those who couldnt make it.

We got lots of goodies which I am still trying to sort through. Its amazing how cute these little outfits are. And those little hooded towels...OMG! And all the Dino stuff we got. WOW!! Who knew that dino's were so popular. Like Nick said, I sure hope Riley likes dinosaurs, otherwise we may inadvertantly give him a fear of the extinct land reptiles.

I am sure he will love them. I know I did, especially when I was in 1st grade. Ms. Mattraw spent at least a whole week, which seemed like months back then, on dinosaurs. Plus they were fun to color. I think the Stegosaurus was my favorite.

So we are at 33 weeks today. 7 weeks to go. Man, time is flying by. Its hard to believe we have LESS than 2 months now. Unless he goes over. Which I have heard is quite possible since this is our first.

Last night we were in Safeway and this lady who was stocking candy asks...so, how far along are you? When I told her she said "good luck! My son was born on the hottest day of the year in 2006 and the hospitals power went out and there was NO air conditioning AND I was two weeks LATE. So...good luck." I nicely asked her what date that was and she said "July 21st."

Sweeeeeeeeeeet! Riley is due July 23rd. But if I am two weeks over, perhaps...er, wait, what am I saying. August is always hotter, isnt it? Well, I guess not in 2006.

Luckily she was in the newer, more up to date Kaiser. Hahaha. If her Kaiser lost power in a heat wave, I am sure our Kaiser will have us delivering in the parking lot cause they might be afraid that the building will collapse in the heat.

So...2 more preggo classes to go, Nicks jiu jitsu world championship tournament this weekend, a wedding, fathers day, bbqs, my birthday, 4th of July and then...Riley. Man, this summer is going to FLY by!!!
