How old do I look???

Okay, it has taken me 5 days to calm down from this to look back and think, it could have been funny...if it had happened to someone else.

Last Thursday I went to one of the local nail salons here in town to get a pedicure. I walked in behind three other women who were in town for a wedding that weekend. So immediately I start thinking maybe I should try the other place in town or just put this off for another day. All the techs are busy and with three people in front of me it is going to take more than an hour to get to me. But no I sign in and take a seat and pull out my book and mind my own business.

Finally, they tell me they are ready for me. I take a seat in the chair and this tech is not one of the familiar ones to me but oh well. I take a seat and I can't get the massage part of the chair to work and notice that the wires are a bit loose so I figure it is no longer working since the tech didn't even try to turn it on for me.

The women who came in before me are chatting around me and when I am about 1/2 way done with my pedicure the tech pipes up and askes me if the 20 something sitting to my right getting her nails done is my daughter. So I look at her and look back at the tech and say, "No, I am not old enough to be this woman's mother, oh and by the way if you couldn't tell I am currently pregnant with my first child." This comment completely surprises all the techs in the place. The next thing you hear is the four Korean nail techs say at once, "You are pregnant?"

So I was at a loss for really what to say at this point...but if I could go back and relive the moment I would say in the style of the Soup Nazi, "No tip for you!" Oh and I think that next time I want my nails done I will try the other nail salon in town.

no news is good news

Well really I have been sleeping so much I haven't had much time for the computer lately..

I did not get the "shot" at my last appointment with the Doctor. That will come with my next appointment. I did however get the glucose test which has turned out fine.

The baby is moving around a lot these days. Today he tried to go in a direction that he no longer fits so that was a tad uncomfortable.

Since I can no longer reach my feet I hope to get to the nail salon to get a pedicure a little spoiled I know.

I must say take care to lots of friends who will be flying out of the ville on Wednesday headed to San Jose. Don't have too much fun.. And I hope the bosses don't keep you up to late each night this time around.

Need to shout out a happy birthday to the big sis. Saturday is the big day!

Baby update

We recently had our monthly appointment to check on my health, the baby and our monthly question and answer session.

My blood pressure is a little high. Not worrysome just slightly elevated. But other than that everything is looking good. The one bit on news I got that I wasn't really expecting or very happy about is that I am going to be induced a little early. This is due to the shots I have been getting every day. I have to be off of them for a few days before I can have the baby but they don't want me off of them for too long so the Doc will tell me when we will be doing the induction and when I need to stop the injections.

I am now starting bi-weekly appointments with the doctor.

The baby is getting more active every day. Kicking and punching etc. Just wish he would stay off moms bladder.

No really, so far in this pregnancy has been great. Other than still being tired I am doing really well. I still really like being pregnant. I do look forward to meeting the little guy.
