30-week Appointment

We had an appointment with the doctor this week and everything is moving along smoothly! I am measuring right on track, my blood pressure is fine, and the doctor was pleased with how things are going. I only brought up a few small issues I've been having, to which the doctor replied, "Welcome to the third trimester!" :) We really like our doctor and have actually enjoyed having more frequent visits lately so we can get to know her a little better.

After our appointment we went to Lowe's to look at some plants for our patio. Of course that led to looking at patio furniture, outdoor lights, outdoor fans, and suddenly we were ready to redo the entire yard. Obviously we can't do that right now (time AND money are issues there!) but we enjoyed walking around and dreaming up plans for an awesome backyard. We got three plants, all known for repelling mosquitos, to start with. I haven't had great luck with plants in the past... so I'm starting with three smaller ones, and we'll hope to expand on that in the future.

Since we were looking at gardening things, I thought it was appropriate that I try on a gardening hat. Matt clearly didn't think it was a good decision. He just took my picture then walked away. I didn't think it was so bad!!

When we finished up there, we went to Freebirds! to enjoy a yummy dinner.



Matt pointed out that I had a cayenne pepper tortilla and added death sauce to my burrito... so we agreed that we should follow up burritos with malts from Marble Slab to "cool things off." So we did. I was miserably full by the time we headed home, but it was a delicious dinner!

We'll have another appointment in two weeks (8-months!), which should hopefully be about as uneventful as this one! At this point, uneventful is a good thing!
