Turtle!!

The pic isn't the greatest quality, but this is the cutest stuffed animal... ever. Mike and I have this friend, Eeva, that we met in Dark Ages. She is extremely awesome and she decided to knit this little guy from scratch and send it to us from Finland. She also sent us some awesome soap, and two chocolate bars made with chili peppers that I'm afraid to try. I'm making Mike the test dummy to see if they're spicy.

Today we also got some video footage of us and the baby's room while I was showing him how to use the new video camera we got. Debating uploading it to youtube. It's kinda boring... but it does show what the rooms look like for those that will unfortunately not be visiting them. It also features me in my big belly splendor.

I've been going to bed early... around 10:30-11 or so, but then I wake up at 1-2 in the morning. I can only sleep in chunks. It's 3 now, been up since 1. I'll probably try to go back to sleep tonight though instead of staying up until 6 like I've done the past two nights. Roseanne marathons on Nick at Nite are just too good to miss!

So due date #1 passed. August 8th. Nothing. Granted, it was just a chart that told us that bit of information. Due date #2, the 10th, is determined from my sonograms. Seriously though, it's a two day difference. On Friday I go in for a non-stress test just to monitor the baby's heart rate to make sure she's alright still being in there. She's moving around and all that good stuff. Everyone seems to think that she's coming here on Saturday. I'm pushing (hah, pushing... get it?) for sooner. Although, I have gotten rather attached to the belly despite my desperate need for mobility once again. I will miss it.

Going to try that sleep thing again. Tata!
