I just finished my first assignment of this new quarter.   I know I say this everytime, but I so can’t wait to be done with school!  This is my 13th class of 18, so only 2 more quarters to go after this one. 

Today starts my 34th week of pregnancy too!  I am feeling really full most of the time!  He is getting crazy big now!  I am starting to experience some of the symptoms of late pregnancy now.  Last Wednesday, I said to my husband, “my socks feel tight!”  We looked down and my ankles were SUPER swollen, then Sunday night, it disappeared just as fast as it happened!  Sometimes my bladder feels like it is being squeezed like a lemon, and I also feel pressure on my sternum every so often too.  Friday, I had Braxton Hicks contractions and that kind of scared me.  They didn’t hurt or anything, but they were coming pretty regularly for a little while and I felt somewhat nauseated.  So, it was a little scary, I took a nap and they went away though.  The nursery is pretty much ready.  He has TONS of clothes, so this had better be a boy or, I told Jamie (dog) I would cut holes for his tail and he would be really well dressed for a while!  Poor dog!  He does have his own sweater and sweatshirt, and he isn’t too fond of wearing clothes! 

At work, they just opened the new “Health Living Center” which is pretty much a state of the art gym for us employees!  It is AWESOME!  There are two olympic sized pools and being pregnant, water aerobics classes sounded kind of good to me, so I have been to a couple now and I really like it!  There are 4 floors!  There is a track, tons of equipment, and of course the pools.  Not to mention they have ‘out of this world’ showers too!  I am usually a little cold after the aerobics class and I pretty much run to the showers and stay there for like a half an hour!  Unlimited hot water and perfect rain like showerheads, who could ask for more?  I could stay forever!  There is a steam room and a whirlpool too, but I am not allowed to stay in there long, as you know, because I could “pressure cook” someone in the process, so I have gone into the steam room, for a couple of minutes and came out.  Feels good, for a couple minutes, just to breathe in a little steam.  I really want in that whirlpool, but I know I’d better not!  So, for a couple more months, I will have to just resort to my long soothing showers.

Well, I am running out of things to write for now, just figured I would add something in here for anyone interested in reading it!
