no baby jack yet. i definitely feel like he has dropped...a lot. i'm sooooo ready. kind of. maybe. brad said his feelings have changed from being extremely nervous to extremely excited--i laughed b/c mine have gone from being extremely excited to being more nervous.
people always say you have crazy dreams when you are pregnant. well, i had my first official crazy dream the other night. i dreamed that jack came out early...while i was driving to a store...so i just tucked him back under my shirt. he kept falling out from under my shirt and i kept just tucking him back under it. it was really pretty funny. he wasn't yucky or anything..in fact he was all clean and sweet. strange, huh?
we are supposed to be getting our furniture this weeks-yay! we bought everything a month ago, then we had to wait for it to come in...quite a bummer. i'll post some pics once it all gets here. i still need a coffee table and end table for the living room, but i can't find anything i like. brad says i'm picky. i just don't want to settle.
my dad has been super sick lately...he won't be able to come to san antonio to see the baby...so i'm going to lake charles to see him after jack is born. probably will be heading that way the last week of july or the first week of august...so if anyone will be around we'll have to meet up so you can meet jack. he's going to be really cute...and sweet :) say lots of prayers for my pops.

tomorrow i get to do something...
i'm really getting bored. brad took my car this morning to work so i couldn't go anywhere. with my belly i can't reach the pedals in his truck. tomorrow i get to go get my id on base and i have my weekly doctor's appt.---yay.
i feel great. i don't feel like my belly is getting bigger. i do notice that it's much more difficult to turn over in the bed at night though, and when i lay down it's much harder to breathe so i know somethings changing. we were watching hell's kitchen last night and they had to cook for a bunch of pregnant women. i told brad and bryce my belly wasn't as big as those womens bellies...and they both quickly told me..no...it was definitely just as big. i just can't tell. i used to notice when my belly got bigger...now i can't tell as much...
they tried to deliver my camera today, but i was asleep. so...tomorrow i should get it, and you will all get what you have been waiting for. just be patient...it's coming soon enough.

yea---i posted something today!
Blue for Father's Day---Happy Father's Day---Brad bought a brisket to cook just for himself b/c today is Father's Day. It was actually really really good. He cooked it for many hours on the grill and it tasted wonderful.
I've been waiting for this whole nesting thing to happen...today it kind of happened. I got inspired to clean the bathrooms. It was cool, although brad was the one who was recruited to do all the scrubbing b/c i'm physically not able to lean over anything or bend over or get on my knees and find a way back up. it's lovely being pregnant. anyways...we did get the bathrooms clean so if our sweet one comes i wont have to worry about the bathrooms being dirty. i keep thinking about what else i need to do...but really there is nothing to do. my bag is packed...well kind of...b/c everything i'll be bringing to wear at the hospital are my comfies that i wear everyday right now so i can't pack them yet. i can't pack my toiletry stuff either b/c i use that stuff everyday too. jack's bag is packed though. he has like five different options to choose from to wear home...hopefully he's not like his mother and will be able to make a decision. i am actually going to just let my mom pick something b/c i just can't decide. brad likes this onesie that says "sleep is for weak." I was thinking something more cute, but stiff comfy. we'll see and soon enough you will too...b/c his coming home picture will be posted within 3 weeks!!! i can't believe we only have 3 weeks until he will be here. i'm quite anxious and ready, but the other day when i was taking my daily 2 hour nap i was laying in bed thinking about how this might be the last time i'll just be able to sleep for 2 hours peacefully. i'm trying not to rush into all of this. it will be here soon enough.
brad has slowly been trying to prepare me for the pain i will endure before i actually get my epidural. we got a paper from my doctor saying i should wait until my contractions are 5-6 minutes apart lasting for 45 sec-1 min. for one hour before coming in...unless ofcourse my water breaks. i was thinking we could just fib a little and say i've been having them for an hour...but just go in after 30 min. that way i can possibly get some relief from the pain earlier. brad laughed...there's no way he'll go for it. it's gotta have something to do with the fact that he's a doctor. anyways...tonight we went for a walk with our neighbors and i had a really strong contraction...and it REALLY hurt. i'm not sure how i'm going to handle them when they are coming 5-6 min. apart. the one i had tonight was just a braxton hicks contraction...not even the real thing and it hurt. what are the real ones going to feel like? I don't tolerate pain well...at all. i'm going to try and be tough though. i'll be honest after it's all over with and tell you the truth.

a little bit of this and a little bit of that
San Antonio is hot....only in the middle of the day though. In the morning...we can sit on the back porch and there's a cool breeze...and in the evening...the same thing, but don't even think about going out and about during the middle of the day. The heat sucks whatever energy you might have right out of you. That's been my only issue---with the pregnancy lately that is---I have no energy. I'm at that point where doing normal things that we all take for granted like picking things up off the floor...walking from here to there...turning over in the bed and getting off the couch are chores, but otherwise I feel great. Today I went to the pool with my neighbor and her two little ones. It was pretty nice as long as you stay in the water. By the way...we have the greatest neighbors....Jake, Kayla, Jackson(2 years) & Abbey-Kate(9 months). Jake is in the AirForce with Brad and will be doing Peds...Kayla was a teacher like me, but now she stays home with her little ones. They are wonderful, and we have lots of fun hanging out with them. I feel really really lucky to have met such great people right away.
Anyways---right now I'm in the process of finding a camera since ours got broken, so just be patient and eventually there will be pictures for you to look at. I know pictures are what everyone really wants to see. They will be coming soon, and so will Jack in less than four weeks! I go see my doctor tomorrow...I start seeing her weekly at this point. I will keep you guys updated! I really can't wait for this baby to come....I'm so excited and ready.

back in business
Finally....we have the internet! I didn't realize how addicted I am to the internet. This morning the cable guy came and I was very very excited because I knew within an hour or so I'd be reconnected to the world.
We are settled in our house now and love it. We found furniture to fill it up with, but it won't be delivered until the most popular week in July---the same week Jack is due and Brad starts his residency. It should be fun. I also met my OB this week. I was a little worried....but no more worries because she is great. Everything looks great and she estimates Jack will be between 6 and 7 lbs. I see her next week and then every week until the little man makes his grand entrance--which is only five more weeks by the way!
