June 8, 2000

Well, this week has been interesting to say the least. Last Saturday I started having strange cramps that I thought could have been contractions. I was sent to L&D and luckily, it turned out to be nothing except that I'm anemic. But then yesterday it started again! I went in today and they said it was nothing but round ligament pain, no contractions or anything. But the pain is just killer sometimes. I can't even roll over in bed it's so bad! I guess I'll just have to learn to deal with it, though. The pregnancy belt I have doesn't do a whole lot of good. But, life goes on.

Crib is up (yay!), dresser will be up soon. We may be buying the stroller/carseat on Sunday! I'm excited. Only 16 more weeks till baby!

Ooh, and we got a new kitten. Her name is Jupiter. She's a sweetie :). And finals are over! I know I got an A in anthropology and I should have a B in Western Civ 1. I'm glad thats all over with. On to bigger and better things. I'll talk to you all next week!
