Wonderful Friday

Today has been a wonderful Friday. First of all, the sun is shining and the air is warm(er.)

I had a great appointment with my midwife this morning. New weight gain total is 25 lbs, but I'm still fine with that. My midwife told me I am doing a great job taking care of my baby. That made me feel good. No Strep B. Blood pressure is still perfect. I mentioned I am preparing for a big baby since my mom had 9lb14oz, 9lb13oz, and 8lb8oz babies (I was the biggest.) Her guess was that Baby is about seven pounds right now (which is normal), but if I went a week past my due date I would likely end up with a nine pounder! I still cannot comprehend that there is a seven pound baby in my belly... although that feels about right.

After that, I had lunch with Nathan and our friend Sue who works with Nathan at the paper. Sue has been incredibly kind and supportive via the internet, but she and I had yet to meet face to face. So we finally met and had lunch today which was so nice. And she gave us some great things for the baby, which again was so kind and generous!

After that, I had a pedicure. OMG. I needed it for some many reasons. My feet were looking horrible! And I managed to throw some Barbie pink color on my toe nails a few weeks ago. They looked sloppy and way too pink, but it was too much work to take off or redo. So having my feet rubbed and toe nails cut and painted... was heavenly. I'm just hoping this pedicure will last about six months because I'm not sure when my next pedicure will be. :)
