July 30th...

Cindy, Bob and I got together one evening to make my baby shower invitations. We stamped and stickered and wrote, and Bob made some very lovely bows. I addressed all the envelopes and off they went, into the mail. I took one to work and posted it for everyone that works there. Almost as soon as I did one of the saleswomen came into the office and told me that I cannot have my baby shower on the same day as her birthday party. How was I supposed to know that she was having a party? First of all, I don't know her that well so I certainly don't know when her birthday is. Second, she didn't invite me, nor did she post an invitation. It's not that I don't care if she comes, I don't...It's just the fact that she TOLD me that I can't have a party that day because she already was. Hmph! So anyway, the place is booked, the deposit is paid and I'm having my darn party whether she likes it or not!

I've been exercising more regularly lately, and eating like a mad person too. We spent about an hour down at the pool yesterday swimming around and having a grand time. We've also been trying to walk in the evenings. I have been eating more, but it's all good stuff, I promise. Ok, so maybe not ALL good stuff, but I only have a few little tiny scoops of ice cream every night. It helps get the icky vitamin taste out of my mouth before I have to go to bed. I still need to work on drinking more water, but I've worked out a plan for that. I'm taking two bottles of water to work with me every day (1 liter each) and I will drink 2 liters while I'm at home. I usually don't have a problem with drinking it at work, but carrying a cup around the house is a bother. I've switched to a sports bottle for home.

I've gained 3 more pounds! I think 3...I weight 127.5 now. I definitely have a noticeable belly, and I've started wearing a few of the maternity things I've acquired. I'm still too small for some, but I've been wearing maternity shirts with my RTG vests to work instead of the regular ugly shirts. It's very exciting!
