8 months

Well, I am 8 months pregnant now! Who would have thought! And if any of you know a cure for CONSTANT heartburn, I would appreciate it. I drink a glass or two of milk in the evenings, I eat Tums like they are going out of style, and I try anything I can to make it go away. I know the old wives tale says that the more heartburn you have means the kid will have hair. Well, the way this heartburn is, she should come out looking like Rupunzel!

Sue and Zak finished the nursery on Sunday, and we moved furniture in! We got it as set up as we could. They have a few details to come back and paint, but overall, the nursery is done!

Hubby came home Monday night. 10 days being gone is a very long time! He got to see the nursery and was very pleased with its outcome. I was worried, because all of the design was pretty much his idea, and he wasn’t here while it came to life. But, I think we ended up pretty much with what he was envisioning.

Monday was a tough day for me. I guess all the activity of the prior 5 days really made my body unhappy and I started having some pretty bad contractions, including ones in my back. I was at work when this started, so I headed for home, drank water, ate a snack and crawled into bed for a while. That did the trick and they stopped. So, I know I really need to work at taking it easy.

I am very happy to have Hubby home, even if it is only for 2 days. Then he is off on his last trip prior to baby’s arrival. He will come home on Sunday, the day of the baby party. My cousin is also coming into town tomorrow. I look forward to spending time with all these out of town guests! Even if it is from the comfort of my bed!

Well, Hubby and I are going to spend some quality time playing a computer game.

Here is what she is up to now at 8 months in my tummy:
