We got our crib and changing table thanks to my brother! They were in 3 HUGE boxes all in jumbled up and mixed around. And Ryan the smart man he is put both the crib and changing table together with no directions and a million parts to put together. He figured it out... had to take it apart sometimes, but for not having ANYTHING to go by- he did it and with in an hour mind you! And it's so beautiful!
Now we just need to finish painting the dresser and we'll have a completed room!
Last night we went to a friends for dinner and on the way home I started having cramping and my tummy was tightening and my back was also cramping- not fun. It was for 20 or more minutes and so I had to call the doc to see if it was something to worry about. Yeah, this is another reason why I'm not a fan of that group of doctors... it took him an HOUR to call back! Luckily, it stopped by the time we got home and I got into bed. He just advised to take Tylenol and Benadryl (or Tylenol PM) and rest. He said if it wasn't better in the morning to keep resting. But that I needed to watch it again and if happened 8 times in one hour then I needed to call back or go in. So far, I'm okay... gonna try and make it into work today. I'm just having that guilt battle with in me- I feel bad for missing work (again) but then again I know I need to take care of my body and baby. I AM 34 weeks and getting along here in the latter part of my pregnancy and I expect things like this are going to keep happening. It's just a tough decision to make sometimes.

It sounds like contractions to me. I'm so opposite of you. I have no problem missing work as much as possible...the benefits of making your own paycheck.

Ugh... sorry about the belly aching. That's no fun! Thank Heaven for Tylenol PM, though, eh?! I think I've consumed more of that in my 2 pregnancies then I've consumed regular Tylenol in my whole life combined!

Gorgeous crib and changing table by the way! I can't wait to see your little guy in it!
