Baby Update

I had my doc. appoitment yesterday and things are looking good. I am 34 1/2 weeks, but measuring 33 weeks. This is a little strange to me just because I measured so big with my first! I know, don't compare pregnancies because they are different. I also got a note to be off of work, although the doctor wasn't too happy about it. He believes in women working up until their due date. I have no problem with that, but my job is a little different. For one, it is only 4 hours a week, is it really that big of a deal?! I work for a cleaning company and I have to vacuum, sweep, and mop. Not that big a deal to do at home because I don't have a time frame to get it done, I can take breaks at home. At work, I have to have things done in a certain amount of time, it is a lot of twisting, lifting, and bending. I do all that stuff at home, but at my pace. I tried explaining that to my doctor, telling him that I don't sit around....I mean come on, I have an almost 2 year old to chase around! I clean, go grocery shopping, mow the lawn. I also told him how much better I felt last week when I wasn't working, less stress. Oliver's activity has also started to increase....shouldn't that be a reason to stay home?! If I had a desk job, I would most certainly continue working. I then talked to one of the ladies who works in the office and she agreed with me. Everyone is different. Oh well, I'm trying to forget about what he said. He is a good doctor, but lets face it, he is a male! He should also know that I don't just sit around....I am pushing 180 pounds...gasp!!!....but I most certainly do not look like it! I have to stop dwelling on it though, less stress and I need that!

Last Saturday, we went to the farmer's market. I was excited to get 6 huge cumumbers for only $1! I also got two paper shopping bags full of tomatoes to can for only $12. My dad always makes homemade tomato sauce and gives us some, but I wanted to try it on my own also. I did the other year, but didn't have much luck with the jars staying sealed. I'm hoping to have better luck this year. The lady I brought the tomatoes from said I could freeze the sauce it they came unsealed....I did not know that! My sister is coming over to play with Jamie tonight so I can get the tomatoes done. It has been in the 90's and high humidity so I have the tomatoes sitting by the air conditioner...haha!

Finally, I follow this blog and also on Facebook....Mommy and Me Giveways. They are having two sweet giveaways right now that I'm pretty excited about. I'm hoping to win something....I never win anything! Their first one is a Doopsy cloth diaper giveaway. You can check out their website here http://www.doopsy.com/ These diapers are fun, bright colors, have extra absnorbancy, and are a little cheaper than most. We are doing cloth diapering with Oliver and I like trying different kinds. Their second giveaway is for a Little Tikes Spray and Rescue Fire Truck http://www.littletikes.com/toys/spray-rescue-fire-truck.aspx. I need to figure out how to put these links in a post with just one word instead of all this other stuff! Anyway, I love this truck! Jamie loves trucks and loves water so I know he would have a blast with it. So, if you are interested in any of these, check them out http://mommyandmegiveaways.com. Alright, I am off to make spaghetti for dinner.
