Survived the Conference

As the title of this blog entry suggests, I did survive the hp conference. But, I think I did serious damage to my bottom half. Sitting in a wooden chair all day long is just too much. Needless to say, my lovely hemorrhoids have reemerged this week (due to too much sitting and the change in my diet, I guess). There is also a decided increase in the amount of pelvic pressure I am feeling. I think this baby has dropped or begun to drop. He/she is still very, very busy. I have an abundance of new stretch marks as well -- on my legs and my hips. My ankles are permanently swollen.

Tomorrow we have our first every two week doctor's appointment. Then we have a busy rest of the week, with birthing class Wednesday night, dh helping with bil's fence, and some other stuff that I can't remember at the moment.

In other good news, my mom helped me work on the slipcover for the nursery and it is practically finished -- I just need to do some touchups. I am so relieved because it actually looks okay. It was a lot of hard work though. I am so anxious to finish in that room, but am trying to be patient and buy nothing (or almost nothing). We also went to Target to look over our registry items and add additional things. That is always fun! I had to go to the bathroom three times while we were there and we weren't there long! I have to go all of the time.

I am in the office all week (no fun trips to look forward to). I am off to Lane on Friday or Saturday to help with a wedding. Am looking forward to it! I also have to take some photos for a NR nomination while I'm home. The local historical society also wants me to talk to them about a project they're currently working on. We'll see.


Have a good Monday!
