Sighhhhhhhh...

Fighting what feels like allergies or a cold (but according to the books could actually be a sign that labor is around the corner). Wish my ears and throat would stop hurting.

Had a nice 3-day weekend with Lance. He's always in such a good mood when he gets a day off from teaching. Speaking of, it's his last week teaching at the nursery school. That's good, because it means he can cover more of my classes and have more time pre-baby, but bad because those are his favorite students. He's always coming home with the CUTEST stories from them, like the girl who was having a turn dancing and needed to stop the song in the middle to tell Lance she got a new umbrella or the 2 boys who first started petting lance's head and then each others, obsessed with how "comfy" their hair was. And so many more... I guess he'll just have to tell Parker stories until next semester!

Parker has been trying to do story-worthy stuff these days. She's kicking harder and harder and sometimes she shifts positions and it's like the Loch Ness monster gliding across my skin under my stomach. Everytime I try to get Lance to see or feel it, she stops. But he sang one of his nursery school dancing songs to her yesterday and she kicked him in the face, which was nice.

My phone is freaking out. Every time I've tried to make outgoing calls or pick-up over the last few days, it has INCREDIBLY loud static feedback. I gave it a break turned off, so hopefully that will fix it and I can rejoin society again.

I did see more of the neighborhood society over the weekend than I have in a while. Lance has been doing a very good job of following his "birth partner" advice and inviting me on walks once or twice a day. We have to go SLOW because they're more waddles than walks, but we made it to the park yesterday and the day before. Rosemary was PSYCHED.

Oh, I also got outside by way of a hammock nap on sunday. A very pleasant way to elevate my feet! And especially cozy with my favorite quilt from my mom's house.

I guess that's it and I have 5 minutes to leave the house. I just want to stay in bed. But I guess I'll survive. It's definitely a movie day in class, because hey, the teacher's VERY PREGNANT...
