nic and i went out for dinner the other night and ran into a couple that was in our bradley method class with their new baby. they recently bought a house not too far from us. it was good to see them, especially because it's proof that if she could one day not be pregnant anymore and be able to enjoy all you can eat tacos and beer, then i will be able to do all those things too!

i'm proud of how relaxed i am right now. i might not seem relaxed, but if you know me even a little bit you would probably use the words "high strung, " "neurotic," "senseless worrier," etc. to describe me. anyway, i've been pretty even-keeled as my due date gets closer. a big part of that is getting big stuff done around the house and minimizing and temporarily phasing out all my other responsibilities. it's nice to know that i could go into labor tomorrow and not feel like i'm leaving tons of loose ends.

speaking of going into labor tomorrow, wouldn't that be great? i think so. i'm thinking that i'll go during the last week in august sometime. i don't think i'll make it to september 6th. i'd like to go into labor next week since it seems like it would be a good time to go....but i have a feeling i'll hold on until the last week of the month.

been feeling ok. considering. i ended up staying home half the day on tuesday. i was so weak and tired...and it was pretty humid that day. this week the weather has been really comfortable, but i know it's going to get hot again next week.

we started with the evening primrose oil and i made a big pitcher of iced red raspberry leaf tea last night. i wanted to take the dog out on a walk last night, but i've reached the point where i can't bend over, so picking up dog poop is out of the question.

i really don't have too much more news for you. probably won't until next tuesday's midwife appointment!
