If I look tired, scraggly, and bloated.....I am....D. was laughing he said I look like a huge ball on top of two sticks....not sure how much bigger that belly can get with 3 weeks to go. We spent 5hrs at the hospital last Friday due to my BP being 152/92 but thankfully it went back down and I was sent home. Now I'm on semi house arrest and we'll see what the MD says tomorrow but right now my BP is back to a normal range.....
We finally got our furniture. So here are some pics of the nursery. Yep, I know it's blue but so is the sky. So IF it is a girl she'll have to live with it until she demands otherwise....

And no, I promise we have no idea if it's a boy or girl. Can't wait to find out.....

Merry Christmas everyone. As is tradition, D. had duty and I went up to the Air station for Christmas dinner. Above the crew is setting the table.... D. made a turkey, we also had ham, potatoes, green beans, cheesecake and so on. It was perfect, I didn't have to cook or to clean up, so it doesn't get much better than that......

Since it was so nice out we went for a walk on the beach yesterday...nothing like going to the beach in December.....

Unlike summertime it's nice and quiet now without all of the tourists.

Our wild kitten sleeping in the tree. He looks pretty comfy....

Mary B., a friend we know from Detroit, decided to throw me a little lunch/mini baby shower with some of the spouses from the Air station......Nope, no shower games....

We met at a little cafe downtown and the food and cake were very yummy...no pics of me..I was too busy catching everyone else one camera while they were eating....

Other updates.....it's currently 81F here and just like in Kodiak everyone will tell you: "It's never like this in December"...but we're not complaining I don't miss putting on those ice cleats to go outside. According to my MD baby Townsend is allowed to arrive after next Wed. but so far no indication that an early arrival is in store. Also, our friends little guy is turning 1 today, so happy birthday R. I can't believe it's his first birthday already. And lastly, I should have listened when everyone told me to get all of the baby shopping done early.......I'm just not quite happy about standing in long pre-Christmas lines at this point....

Last night was the Air station's x-mas party. I almost had to wear flip flops since I can't fit into my shoes anymore......but that's OK only 37 days to go....We also took a baby class yesterday and D. did much better with the fake baby than I did. I guess you shouldn't pick it up by one leg.....

Everyone had a lot of fun but I chose not to join the "train" this year.
