Though I have been depressed, life is trudging on. I had my 7mo baby appointment and everything is right on track. I'm 28wks and 5 days along. My belly is a whopping 29cm. I didn't get any guff about losing a little weight. My blood pressure wasn't high this time. My sugar test came back normal. I've got a little sciatica so the doc gave me some stretches to try out. She also suggested I finally cash in those 2 prenatal massage certificates I got for my birthday. Other than that, everything looks good. Noah got to press the button to find the baby's heartbeat. He loves this doctor, she always includes him.
My friend Brandon, kind soul that he is, showed up yesterday to mow my lawn. He didn't just mow, though. He brought all his own equipment, including gas... he edged and weed whacked and blew all the clippings away. He went over the lawn twice so that everything would be mulched up pretty well. I couldn't believe how nice my yard looked. I didn't even ask for his help, he just knew I needed it and came over. He's such a great guy! We made a crappy discovery, though... my yard is infested with every nasty bug imaginable. All the rain has brought hundreds of fire ant mounds, fleas, and... TERMITES! It was like a miniature version of "The Birds" in my backyard. I couldn't believe there were that many termites. I have to call an exterminator ASAP. Hopefully, they've just been in the yard and not in the house otherwise I'm going to have a tough time selling. One cool thing was that the swarm attracted some very beautiful birds I've never seen in my yard before. I got to use my new bird books to look them all up :) They were swooping like crazy so I wasn't able to get any pictures.
Today I should go grocery shopping. We'll see what happens with that. I should do the dishes too. I want to see "Ratatouille"... I mean... I want to take Noah to see "Ratatouille"... ahemm. ;) I'm going to avoid the computer today and try to get outside some.
