Okay so I know I've not been on top of posting lately. I have actually had a bit of energy so there hasn't been that much time spent at the computer. I have hit that "O-my-God-it's-the-last-few-weeks-before-baby-comes,-I've-got-to-get-busy!" phase. Unfortunately, since we have bought the furniture and done the nursery building, it seems this hurry-hurry mode is nothing more than "Hurry up and Wait...." So, I'm spending an ample amount of time in Walmart and Target wandering between girl things and boy things and wishing I knew which one to buy for. I would prefer not to buy alot of neutral stuff so I have only what we had to get for that area. A few sleepers and onesies and such.
I am very excited to say the Bassinet, High Chair, and Baby Tub are on their way! My mom and sister are so awesome! I love and appreciate all the help they have done for us with each child we have had.
In other news, A had a dentist appointment yesterday. They sedated him so they could fill 5 cavities. :( Originally, this was supposed to be done in November but we could not afford it. The dental plan we have through the military is actually not that good of one, so if you are preparing to move back from overseas....Get all your work done NOW! It's sufficient coverage for things like cleanings and such. But it does not cover nearly enough for Crowns and Cavities. Anyway, the dentist originally said one of the cavities was bad enough for a cap to be necessary. The good news is it didn't need a cap, which cut the projected cost of procedure by a good amount. The bad news is the Sedative given did not relax A enough to last through all 5 fillings. He was feeling the discomfort by the time they finished number 3. Cried and cried through the last 2. I felt like such a terrible mom cause dentist asked me after the 4th one if we should stop and schedule another appointment for the 5th. I said he should continue and just get the job over with. I didn't want to have to convince him to come back and get back into that chair willingly knowing what was gonna happen. That would have been a pain in the butt!

So, that's what has been up the last week or so. We haven't done a whole lot worth posting on. I have been considering the week changes in affect on Saturdays and realized the other day that we should actually be changing them on Tuesdays (as April 15 is a Tuesday), so I may or may not post a belly pic Saturday, I may wait till Tuesday. I will be turning 36 weeks this time! I am SO ready to have this child!!! :)

I'm so sorry to hear about A's dental treatment. That is NOT a good experience for a little one. At least you have some coverage...we haven't started the state-side plan yet!!!

Wow, 36 weeks tomorrow?!?! Almost time!
