Quick Takes

1. I'm sick again! What the heck?!?! I got a cold/flu thing a few weeks ago. When I got over that I lost my voice a few days later. I didn't feel bad but it wasn't fun. Then about 2 days ago I started to feel sick again. This time it's a sinus thing. Seriously? This is just crazy. I think allergies may be playing a role this time though. Things are starting to bloom already here in sunny Florida. Oh yippy! Oak trees are pretty but I think they should be banned. They make my face hurt.

2. All of you photography ladies, I need your help! I've been wanting a digital slr camera forever. Well, I've been saving my pennies and I think I'm finally ready. If any of you have a digital slr what do you have? I was looking at Tar.get today and the Ni.kon D3100 is on clearance (it's full price online for some reason though...weird). It seems to have good reviews but I'm nervous. It's a lot of money to drop on something.

3. I'm 36 weeks now. That means in 1 week I'll be full term. Um...cue anxiety. I'm so excited but freaking out at the same time. Yikes! I cannot believe that I am actually going to have a baby. It just doesn't seem possible.

4. After the incident with one of my docs a few weeks ago where she was less than comfortable with my plans for an intervention free birth, I tried to switch practices. Unfortunately I was too far along and no one would take me. So, I'm stuck. I guess I will make the best of it. There are 2 of the 9 doctors that I really like. I'm really praying they are the ones on call when I go into labor. I've also decided to start praying for the doctors and nurses that will be on call that day. I'm specifically asking God to give them open minds and that they will be cooperative and patient.

5. K and I are trying to plan a fun day just for the two of us for March 5th. I wouldn't say it's a last hoorah. I don't like that mindset. It's more of a day just for the two of us to spend together before Mary-Grace gets here. We cannot wait to meet her but life is going to take a huge turn (for the better of course). We have been together just the two of us for almost 10 years. We though maybe we would celebrate the last 10 years and the beginning of our new life that is about to start. We're thinking of going to Ft. Desoto. It's only about 1.5 hours from our house. It is a gorgeous beach!!! You should google it. It has won best beach in the country a few times. I can't wait! We've been so busy lately that it will be nice to spend a day doing nothing but relaxing together.

6. I seriously can't get enough blueberry cornbread. :)

7. Don't forget to leave me a comment or shoot me an email (ktmathewson at gmail dot com) if you have any prayer requests. I'll be offering them up during labor. :)

Have a happy Friday and a lovely weekend!!!
