Heading Back...

So today marks my last official day of leave. I officially go back to work tomorrow...and honestly, I'm much more ok with it than I thought I might be. At this point, I'm ready for a distraction. Being at home has been great, don't get me wrong. I needed a break like this. I was able to gorge myself with more daytime TV than I ever wanted to watch. Also, I let myself get totally absorbed with the first season of the O.C. Thanks Josh and Katie ;) I'm now into Season 2. It's a guilty pleasure...and I'm addicted! I also was able to enjoy some relaxing days without makeup or anything to do...and sleep in after some sleepless, contraction-filled nights that would have made work the next day impossible. So the time off, though a little scary, turned into a bright little blessing for me. That being said, I'm still ready to head back. I'm ready for the baby to join us...and being off, though it's wonderful, doesn't make the time go any faster. I miss Jer most days all day long. Thank God for Steff's phone calls and my Mom's after work drive by's, oh and the visits from my grandma too. Those have made the days seem less long and lonely.

Thanks to everyone who called, stopped by, or got ahold of me to see how we were doing. Our blooming family has so many wonderful people who care about us! It is nice to feel loved and know who you can count on when you really need it!

Jer and I have our 37 week appointment tomorrow with Dr. Talsky. Please pray for us. Our last few office visits have left a little to be desired. And I'm nervous all the contractions have been in vain and he's going to tell me I haven't progressed even a centimeter...and I'm afriad if that's the case, I might just cry when I leave the office. Maybe that's the hormones talking...or my swollen ankels. Either way...much more to come after tomorrow's appointment...
