I should probably update.....
I am sitting here at work, floating to the Medical ICU, what's new and all is pretty well. They gave me 2 patients, one is confused, the other is angry, neither I feel comfortable leaving alone, so a PCA (patient care assistant) is sitting in the other room. The charge nurse realizes "this isn't ideal" but isn't changing it regardless. So, yeh, thanks for the friendly assignment! not.
I am so antsy to get home, I wanna go so bad! 2 hours left. So, I thought if I blogged it would take up some of the time....
We're getting excited about the baby. Since I last posted I've had 2 baby showers! The first was at church thrown by my aunties Julie and Susan. Lots of peeps came and lots of presents were opened! The next week My Gran E. and aunt Jodi threw me an "Erickson" side shower at Grandma's. I was so excited, everyone was there, even Jenny! It was so fun. We played games, ate the most delicious food ever, and opened more presents.
Baby Audrey has so much stuff! The once empty closet (after I cleaned our junk out) is now filling itself right up. I bought 80 baby clothes hangers from Target and they're all full and that doens't count the numerous outfits that came already with hangers. So, yeh, oh and then there are many many onsies in packages not hung up! There are about 8 or 9 blankets, many toys, bedding stuff, a pack n play, a boppy pillow, a bumbo seat, health care stuff, silverware, one bottle, pacifiers, books, dolls, shoes (3), hats, bibs, a swing, a monitor, a baby carrier, burp rags, and so on. I think I pretty much got what I need and then some. There are a few other things I'd like to have, but they're not completely necessary.
Yesterday I put together the swing (it was a beast to put together) although to give the company credit, they did recommend I put it together with another adult, hahaha, but I said no, I can do it. Then I put together and took apart the pack and play, it was easy! It's so cute, I got it with our Target gift cards and some money we got. It's not one of the super extravagant ones, but it's cute, sorta tan/brown with green and monkeys, haha. It's got an insertable bassinet thing so when she's little we can lay her in that and not have to bend way over. I also washed the crib stuff and put it all back on the mattress, so it's ready to go! Now I just need the baby! I read more from a good book I got about feeding/sleeping schedule stuff. It's a lot of common sense, but really good to read too. Some of it's different than what Mayo told us, but I feel like I agree more with the book. Haha, we'll see.
What else....I am feeling huge. It's hard to move and bend over and turn over. I am now taking prilosec and a bit of a higher dose and I have zero heartburn and I only have to take it once a day, sweeeeeeet. Audrey moves a lot and makes my belly move along with her, but that's fun. I'm 35 weeks, so it's gettin' closer!
Hopefully you're not all sick of my talking about baby stuff. What else, we have our 1st open house tomorrow, no body has come to look yet, well someone was gonna, long story with the lock box, and they didn't get in, but hopefully someone comes tomorrow, although we're not in some massive rush either. Who knows how the timing will all work out. I've done a lot of hanging out with Chris, going out to eat, just being togther, visiting my parents, going out to eat with them, haha. We went to Austin to take Linda out for lunch for her b-day, that was fun! We had a b-day party for Gavin turning 18 last week, that was also fun. I had lunch with Heather once at Noodles and Chris and I ate out with Kels, Jeff, and Davind another night. David is getting so funny! He's a hoot to watch and so cute too :) I think he will see Audrey and try to poke her, haha. One thing I haven't done in over a month, is go to a movie, I need to do that soon! Hint hint, anyone? Too bad I work all this weekend :(
Well, I'm sure there's more to say, but I'll end it at that. Thanks for all the guesses on Audrey's due date and such, I'll let y'all know who was closest!

Nice update honey. You are just so prepared for Audrey, she'll be here before you know it, then you'll wonder how you ever lived without her. Sorry you had to float to the MICU...I would probably have to shoot myself.
Great update. Tell them peeps at work if they don't stop floating you I'll come up there and put a tin ear on them.
