An update...

Yes, I know- the baby is not due until July 14- we are 2.5 weeks away, and I have no right to be impatient yet. But I am! The combo of insane Tucson heat and desperate eagerness to meet this little one is keeping me on edge.
Tucson- while always toasty in the summer- is especially lovely when pregnant. A few confessions: 1) the other day when I got to work and my AC wasn't working (yes, mine, only mine- all other offices were cool!) I freaked out- thank goodness it got fixed within hours. 2) The super cool hiking gel neck pack that I first scoffed at, has become my best friend- I've even worn it inside a court room (yes, all sense of decorum scrapped in a desperate attempt to stay cool).
THe baby has become much quieter with the heat- he's very inactive during the day (which scared us last week and sent us running to the doctor for a check up- turns out his heartbeat was great- he's just hot!) But at night he makes up for lost time- tossing and turning so I feel (and frequently look) like a very active jumping castle.
This week, at our regular appointment, the doctor became mildly concerned about possible pre-eclampsia. So, after some not so cool sample collection (read: caused my first full on melt down at work) we got the restults today- everything is fine- whewwww! We have been so fortunate. I've had a very smooth pregancy and from all we can see the baby seems to be doing well. Its so scary to think of all the dangers and know what friends have gone through- so we're thankful for our apparently healthy (if hot) boy.
Tomorrow we're attending our third baby shower- this one hosted by my friends at work. I'm sooooo excited! I feel lucky to have such amazing friends- and its been great to have something to look forward to!
Thats it- still pregnant- we'll keep you posted!
