Week 35: "Yeah, Don't do that"

       Another Doctors appointment this week. Our car battery decided to have a little break down just minutes before my appointment so I had to miss out on meeting Dr. Lovell but I rescheduled for the next day and met with Dr. Meredith. We met with him and everything is going great! Babies heart beat is 140 and sounded strong, lots of movement even just in the appointment and Dr. Meredith was happy with my measurements and weight. He asked if I had had any back pains and I explained that Wednesday was really bad...but Tuesday I had shoveled snow and ice for 4 hours so that might have had something to do with it.... "Kayla.....yeah, don't do that ok!?" It was so funny, he was very confused as to why a 7 1/2 months pregnant woman would even want to shovel snow.
   Chad's in charge of making sure I don't so that again. I think I'm getting to the point where lifting heavy things, shoveling snow and activities of that sort are out of the question. Which is no good since its going to snow a few more times this week!
    Lots of fun this last week though, we got our tree, went on a special date, played in the snow, and got our house Christmas ready. We have so much still to do but the big stuff is out of the way so we get to enjoy the rest of the season toegther.
    This next week we hit the 30 day mark...he's almost here! I can hardly wait!
