• This is going to be quick, because I have homeowrk to do, but could not resist giving you guys some form of information on my life. I have been exceptionally busy.

  I am working. Love the manager. We are busy again. We are doing cross training so I am learning some new things. I am training my back up for materity leave. I am super stoked. I discovered I  can use my sick days and have 3 full weeks off with 32 hours of pay a week!

  I just recently moved into a new apartment. I am at the Diamonte on Bell (33rd ave and Bell) Rachael and I signed the lease on March 18. We got a 868 sq ft 2 bedroom 2 bath for $748 a month (not including utlities, but including a washer and dryer.) Rachael unfortunately won't be offically moving in until May after she graduates, but I am glad to have a roommate that I know I can live with get along with, and depend on.

  We have most of the big funiture moved in thanks to Craigs list. We have a table and chairs in our sunflower themed kitchen, we have a western style living room with a sofa, coffe table, end table,eneterainment center and a 27inch TV, DVD/VCR player and Xbox courtesy of Tom. Bruce's crib and changing table are all set up. We got dishes and a lot of bathroom stuff from my neighbor. My boss tells me she has a computer desk and chair and microwave for us as well. I have been truly blessed.

  The only strange thing for now is sleeping over there alone. I miss being in a house full of people. With Mom and Dad there was not only someone else almost always home, but there was almost always someone awake it the house, so being alone at the apartment is kinda weird for me. Rachael was saying that she doesn't like staying in our old room by herself either (because "someone might get her" and before they would have gone for me first.) It made me feel loved. She is a goof.

  In other news we are down to 10 days before Bruce's offical due date (Tuesday, April 8th) This is 2 days after the new moon, and Mom is somehow thinking this is very important so I encluded it. I thnk she thinks he is going to come on the full moon, which would be April 19. I pray that is not what happens. I am so ready for him to just be here already. I want him to be born NOW. I hate waiting. It is like impending doom. I could literally pop any second. Mom asked me the other day if I would call her and say it's time when I new it really wasn't. I think that would be a great april fools joke, but now I can't do it because I already told her I wouldn't be that cruel.

  Some intresting info from the baby sites.
  I am in week 38.

  Week 38	Trimester 3	Baby's Size
  Baby's Length 21-21.5 in.	Baby's Weight 6.5-7 lbs.		Watermelon

  At this point Bruce has started to descend into pelvic station. This lowering is called lightening or dropping. My body is getting ready for lactation.  I am experiencing a surge of energy called the nesting instinct. Every time I leave the apartment I get ansy if everything is not cleaned up and in it's right place. His movements are slow and big now. Last night he had the hiccups for about 5 minutes. It was an interesting but not altogether comfortable experience. He also getting pushy if I rest things on top my belly. He hateit when I read because I have a tendency to rest my arm on my belly. He digs when I sign though. Some of our favorites are Me and My Bobby McGee, The Leatherwinged Bat, Where have you been Billy Boy, Billy Boy?, and Hush Little Baby.
