Whirlwind week

Well, it's been a pretty crazy week; it went by really fast and a lot has happened. We finally got some snow here, and it was over the weekend so I didn't even have to deal with people not knowing how to drive. Almost all of it was gone by mid-afternoon, but it was still nice and the dog got to play in it.

We got a bunch of Christmas present-wrapping done, and then mostly finished our Christmas shopping. I have to admit, and I'm a little ashamed, that we did go out "Black Friday" shopping on Thanksgiving evening, but only a little and we went out of our way to be polite and friendly with the employees that had to work. We also had a bunch of friends over for Thanksgiving, which was nice, and we didn't blow up the turkey so that's always a plus. There have been a couple times that I kind of wanted a wine cooler or something, but yesterday I got some sparkling cider so everyone drinking beer wasn't a bummer. Speaking of bummers...

Our house got broken into Monday. Luckily they didn't take much that we were attached too, but it was kind of scary. I'm really just glad that he didn't hurt our dog and that I wasn't home. He rummaged through a bunch of dresser drawers, but the one that made we maddest was the one in baby's room with his clothes. Couldn't the creep leave anything alone? But, he didn't take anything for the baby and it looks like he didn't touch much besides the dresser, so that's good. I'm just glad we have the alarm and hopefully it doesn't ever happen again.

Anyway, on to pregnancy stuff. We're down to double digit days until little guy is due (95), which feels kinda crazy. I know that's still 3 months, but I feel like 6 months pregnant is a legitimate amount to seem pregnant...if that makes any sense. Also, my ribs have been bothering me more and more frequently. It's only on the right side, but it goes from the side around to my back, and feels like something's wedged between my ribs. I can stretch it out a bit, but not much helps so far. I'll ask about it at our doctor appointment this week. We also have our first birth class this week, which I think will be really helpful but hopefully not too touchy-feely. Ooh, and after this week we start seeing the doc every other week! Kind of exciting :)

Ok, signing off; I'm tired and not into typing right now. Have a good week, here's my 26wk bump pic:

Weird, huh? I've had a couple of the "you just have a basketball in there!" kind of comments; I'm ok with that :)
