Rain, rain, go away...

It has been raining here for over a week. Literally. Any break in rain is accompanied by dark skies, so it might as well be raining. This, of course, just makes me want to sleep (and skip my classes). But I'm not skipping classes, so don't worry. Counties around here have flooded streets, and the kids don't have to go to school. Clarke County is under flood watch now, and they expect our river to flood by tomorrow. The newest addition to this excellent news is that our front and side yards are flooded, and now even our garage is flooding. And the rain isn't expected to stop until some time early next week. What the heck? Aaron thinks we should go by sand bags, but I don't even know where to get them.

My doctor appointment went well this morning. I met another doctor this week. There are six in the practice, and I have to meet them all before Baby comes. He was very nice, but just like the last one, he kind of rushed me out. Not before he mentioned birth control options to me (haha) and that I had to get the flu shot TODAY. I didn't have time to get it today, but hopefully I can squeeze it in this week. The baby's heart beat was good, and he said that I am gaining the right amount of weight so far. Someone my size should only gain 24 (not 20, not 25) pounds, and I have already gained 7. ugh! I really need to start exercising again so I don't gain any more than 24 pounds. My back already hurts at 7. I can't even begin to imagine 20!

I can't wait to meet my little baby! I can't believe I have months to go still!

  1. Glad you are feeling okay.. Keep an eye on that weather. it's not that bad that you may have to evacuate, is there? It's been looking pretty bad down there according to the news.. Hope you are okay.. Just what you two need is to start bailing out water around you. Keep us posted. Im going to let your dad know.. watch when you are driving in the roads.. those flash floods.. I believe you only gained 7 pounds.. It looks like it is all baby (and surrounding stuff). You look great. I gained around 30 with robbie and 35 with Danny, and i was still able to lose it all.. They say you lose easier if you breastfeed,which I know you are, so you'll be fine. I didnt and I still lost, so no worries. Since you are coming home for Thanksgiving, I hope you are Aaron will plan on coming to our house Thanksgiving night for dessert.. Danny and Joe have been doing that, so let's just keep it like that and you all can come over.. We'll talk about it before then.. Take care,,Thinking about you guys and baby..Love you all...Maryjo
