I actually have them today…woohoo!<\/p>\n

Eric’s birthday present arrived yesterday.  I ordered in on Wednesday, I think.  The free shipping is 7-10 business days.   It came in two.  Works for me!<\/p>\n

The Today Show (I watch while I eat breakfast) had a segment on the vaccines\/autism in children debate.  I don’t know where you all stand on that concept, but it was kind of interesting to watch<\/a>.  Their medical correspondent (Dr. Nancy Snyderman) got almost cranky at Matt Lauer over it (she sees no causal link).  If you care, you can check it out…<\/p>\n

I got all my thank you notes written yesterday.  And in envelopes.  And all but 4 addressed.  But the best part of all is that they are finally using up my old stamps.  I bought a roll of stamps at 39¢ years ago, but haven’t been able to use them up (despite TWO rate increases) because we pay most of our bills online.  So today, I can finally go buy a roll of stamps which means I can go back to putting only ONE stamp on every letter I mail (instead of 3 – 39¢ + 2¢ + 1¢).  Yippee!!<\/p>\n

Yesterday I had a doctor’s appointment.  I’m 32 weeks and 4 days.  She didn’t even bother measuring how big I am (fundal height).  I guess that means I really am ginormous!  They’re still both breach, so they scheduled a c-section.  For December 8.   That is 38 weeks, six full weeks away.  I was not really excited about how far away that is.  Of course, I doubt I’ll make it that long (ie, will need an emergency c-section after I go into labor), but still, the guaranteed end is not as “in sight” as I was hoping it might be.  Oh…and I have developed PUPPP which is a harmless but really annoying rash with intense itching.  It won’t go away until they’re born.  Oh goodie… 
I’m so ready to be done with this…<\/p>\n

Eric’s brother came and took him out for dinner last night.  That worked for me because I had no idea what to have for dinner.  So I found something for myself and worked on thank yous, and they went and found a costume for Ryan to wear to work today (a monk’s outfit… he looked like something from Monty Python and the Holy Grail<\/span>).  Then we just hung out for a bit.<\/p>\n

I actually have an agenda today!  Here’s the plan so far (in no particular order):<\/p>\n
