Oh, I forgot...my sister sent these pictures of Terrance to me to show to our Dad. She said that she thinks Terrance looks just like me in the picture of her and the sticks. What do you think? I don't think she looks anything like me but she is still stinking adorable.

Well, I went to my first weekly appointment today and of course had a ton of questions for my doctor. He...like always...answered them all in good humor. He checked my cervix and said that I was 2 centimeters dilated and that he wanted me to have another ultrasound in two weeks to check the size of the baby again. He also talked to me about bed rest and pre-eclampsia because my feet are pretty swollen and my blood pressure has gone up a bit. He said that when I come back next week, if my blood pressure has gone up again he was going to put me on bed rest. This of course scared the crap out of me because that is definitely out of the normal, and anything out of the normal is not good. He said that everything is fine and not to worry. That Gunnars heart rate is in the 150's and that is really good. He said that they don't really know what causes pre-eclampsia it is just something that happens. I asked him if it had something to do with me working and he said it could be because the more you do the more your blood pressure goes up but it is mostly just being pregnant. That your blood pressure automatically go up when you are pregnant it has only just now reached a level that he is starting to worry about. I also found out that when the top of my stomach gets really tight it is actually a contraction. I thought it was just Gunnar pushing on me because they don't hurt they are just uncomfortable. The nurse asked me how often they happen and I said anywhere from 4 to 10 times a day...just depends. She asked if they are coming with any regularity and I said....uhm...I am not sure, I didn't know they were contractions so I was really paying that much attention to them. I definitely will now. So far I have had two of them in the past 45 minutes. Some days it is like that and some days I will have none. I guess that means it is getting pretty close...that makes me nervous. I am really excited for him to get here but really nervous as well. I guess that is normal though.

Here is the final sketch of the year. I did this layout in probably March of 2007 when Alycia was about six months pregnant with Terrance. Isn't she cute? The chipboard elements are designed, and painted by me and totally original. I used bright colors and contrasted them with some light neutrals to make them pop. One of my favorite parts of this layout is having the title run over onto the photo. I also loved developing and making the elements for this layout. You should definitely try this at home.

*look at how long her hair is...I can't believe she cut it...I wish my hair was that long*

Besides the cheering teenage crowd the movie was awesome. I thought that Adam was going to get up and leave when the first WEEEWWW! went up when Edward finally made and appearance. It was funny. I thought besides being shorter than I wanted it to be it was really, really good. They did a good job making it funny and relateble to the teenage crowd without overdoing it. I am really excited for the next three though...I wish they were coming out all at once. They did have some really good movies coming up in the previews though. Besides the Harry Potter preview...which looked AWESOME...they had this new movie with Tom Cruise that looked really good. Most of them come out in December so I will hopefully be able to go to the movies...depending upon Gunnar and when he wants to make is great appearance. Even then I think that Adam would be only too happy to stay home with him and have him totally to himself for the night...the only question would have to be if I could bare to be away from him so soon. We will see. Anyway...GREAT movie, and I totally recommend for others to go and see it. If it wasn't so expensive to see a movie...$9.00, unbelievable...I would go and see it again. I adore the love story.
