Well, the gist of the last two months (non-pregnancy talk) is this: I was working on this massive, gigantic grant for Morrison & Company that required me to herd over 50 PhD's from around the country together to write a proposal to create a modified bug that would help to eliminate a particular citrus disease. The grant was due last Tuesday. Without a doubt, the last two weeks are the most challenging work-wise I've faced in a long time! But alas, the grant was filed with 54 minutes to spare. My midwife was freaking out that my blood pressure was high and accused me of not eating enough protein - I explained that it was just this work project....anyway, I upped my protein anyway, the project ended. And now all is happy in blood pressure land. Of course, throw in all of the holiday travels in there.
Holidays
Jason and I (and Cody in the oven) drove up to Turlock to spend the holidays with Kathleen and Sean. We had a really nice time. I got to see my friend Sarah, who I hadn't seen in a long time - it was great. We left Christmas day and made the 9 hour trek to Big River to see my dad, Linda, Tina and Lily. I hadn't seen Lily in a long time and knew I probably wouldn't see her again for a while, so that was extra great. We had a lot of fun and just enjoyed each others' company. We watched Cody's 30 minute 4D ultrasound with the family - it was great! Then Jason posted something about it on facebook and got us busted with our mid-wife who is definitely anti-ultrasounds. It was pretty funny. Facebook! Busted!
This is a picture of Cody at 27 weeks - it's so weird to think we actually know what he looks like! And he's so dang cute! I can't wait to meet him. :)
Geez, there is so much to catch up on. I think I'll create a couple of posts to break up the subjects - one subject - belly monster changes - another - my prego friends.
Stand by......
