Quick Takes

1. I had a doctors appointment today. K and I discussed our birth plan with the doctor that I saw (there are 9 at my office). It didn't exactly go as planned. I'm conflicted. I knew the nurses at the hospital would be difficult but I'm now thinking my own doctors ate going to be my biggest hurdle. I'm not asking for anything crazy! I just want to have a natural/unmedicated birth. They have no problem with me not getting an epidural. Their issues are with my not wanting to be tethered to an IV and constant fetal monitoring. Its very frustrating! I'm wondering if I should switch doctors. It just seems so late in the game for that. At the same time, this is my birth and my child! I'm doing what I feel is best for us. The doctor kept asking me to have an open mind. I wanted to scream at her, "No! You have an open mind!" Grrrr!

2. I've managed to catch the flu or some nasty cold or something. I feel like poo!

3. Today is my youngest sisters birthday. He got engaged today. I should be excited. I should be happy. But unfortunately I'm not feeling that way. I'm worried for her. She and her fiancé live together. Thy have since about 6 months into their relationship (I think they've been together for 5 years now). Since they have been together my sister has stopped going to church, her value system and morals have completely changed. She is not the same person at all! Their relationship has been rocky since the beginning. Not even a year ago she came up and stayed with K and I because her bf needed the weekend to decide if he wanted to be with her. When she got back he still wasn't sure. And now they are getting married. I want her to be happy. However, I'm scared for her. I fear it won't last. I know that sounds terrible. I'm praying I'm wrong.

4. I've lost another pound. Who the heck loses weight at this point in pregnancy? I certainly don't look like I've lost. I'm definitely bigger. But MG is measuring perfectly. She's also head down and very low already! Woop! When the doc felt for her head I couldn't believe how low she was. That sure explains some of the pains I've been having in my cervix.

5. Scott Hahn last Saturday was awesome!!! He spoke one The Lamb's Supper, Letter and Spirit, and Why Scripture Matters. I've heard all three of these before on CD as well as read The Lamb's Supper. But of course I walked out of there with something new. As soon as I regain some braincells when this funk I have goes away, I'll highlight some of it for you.

6. K and I are leading our first youth life next Sunday the 13th. I'm so stinking nervous!!!! To make it even more nerve-racking we drew the card for the abortion talk. Of course we could have turned it down. We certainly aren't forced into anything. K and I decided that it's something we are both very passionate about so we figured we would tackle it. Now I'm freaking out. Once we get the bulk of it together I may post it so I can get feed back from you lovely ladies. :)

7. I've been trying to think of a 7 for awhile now. I quit! :) have a lovely weekend! Oh, and Kaitlin. Tell that baby to get moving! His/her blogger aunties are waiting. ;)
