35 Weeks and counting . . .

So . . . I was just looking at my previous posts and realizing what a terrible blogger I am. :-( I am 35 4/7 weeks, with just about 4 weeks to go! All my check ups have been good. I've only put on 14 lbs so far for this pregnancy. I am starting to see my doctor weekly at this point. Tim and I have almost everything we need, just a few tidbits left. I will be packing my hospital bag this week. I'm very excited (and incredibly nervous)! About 3 weeks ago at my doctors appointment, my doctor made a comment while measuring my belly. It went something like this . . . Doctor: "Hmmmm. How big a baby were you?" Me: "7lbs 1 oz" Doctor to Tim: "How big were you?" Tim: "6lbs 4 oz" Doctor to us: "Well, you are going to have a big baby" .... Me & Tim were too shocked to say anything. So about 2 weeks ago, Tim called in a favor with a friend and we snuck up to L&D at our hospital and got another ultrasound. We wanted to get an estimate as to how big our baby really is. The measurements indicated she was about 4lbs 8oz (at 34 weeks). Not terribly big . . . but she still had plenty of time to pack on a couple more lbs! It was so much fun to watch her during the ultrasound. She kept yawning and was practicing breathing! We got a couple pictures. Her profile looks like she will have Tim's nose! :-) I will try and post a picture soon.
Well . . . that pretty much sums up what's new with me. I happen to be a big fan of my friend Märia's blog. She writes incredibly well, and I aspire to be as good a blogger as she is. While reading a recent blog from her, she mentioned me and now I am suppose to state 6 things I value, 6 things I don’t value, and pass it on to 6 bloggers -- so here goes:

Six Things I Value:
1. My husband, family and friends
2. Puppy kisses
3. Freshly washed sheets & a clean house
4. A fresh pot of coffee & a hot breakfast (made by someone other than me)!
5. Sleep (I agree with Märia on this . . . the past few weeks I havent gotten more than 2 hours at a time)
6. My days off from work

Six Things I Don’t Value:
1. Being so far from my family and friends
2. When the dogs potty on the carpet!
3. Having to work for a living
4. Pregnancy pains . . .
5. Clutter
6. Never having enough $$

Six people I’m passing my blog award to:
Unfortunately, I don't know 6 people that blog. :-( I would pass it on to my friend Adele, but I don't think she reads my blog. I would pass is back to Märia, but I don't know if it's allowed. I'm afraid this will end with me!
