Houston Heat

Grrrr....So I am convinced that something is wrong with me, or the AC, or the stupid house we live in, or maybe a combination, but it is HOT! Yes, everyone knows that it is hot down here, but it is freaking miserable, I NEVER put my A/C below 75 and yet, I have had it at 70 for the ast two days! I cant wait to get the electric bill! OH GOODY! The sad thing is that the temperature in the house is still at 82 degrees! Are you kidding me??? I will say that at night I move it back up because it is the only time that the temperature inside the house gets below 75, and after sweating all day, 75 is pretty much FREEZING! Ha! Yesterday, I bought a fan for the living room...Hopefully, it will help cool down the living room so that I dont have to put the A/C at 70 anymore...I understand that it is still using electricity, but its gotta be better than the A/C.

My friend Nikki went in this morning to be induced. She was officially 41 weeks pregnant as of yesterday. I was thinking about it yesterday, and it seemed as though she has been pregnant for forever, but all of a sudden today it seems like it is all happening so quickly...ha! I am so excited for her and nervous all at the same time. I sent her a text around 11:30 and she said she is doing well. Crampy, and has to pee a lot, but doing well. Her contractions are every two minutes apart, which is a good sign of progression, I guess. I will send her another text in an hour or two (its 12:30 now) I know she probably has other people texting and I would rather not get on the nerves of a laboring mother! Haha

Nikki fully cooked, me a little over half way cooked!

Nikki a couple days before she gives birth!

I have a doctor appointment tomorrow at 1:00. I am not really all that thrilled about it considering I have my own scale at home and I know how much weight I have gained. I read today that the baby will be gaining on average about 6 ounces per week...thats almost half a pound! Considering how large I am, I am thinking she is gaining about 10 ounces a week! Well, I am off, going to go see my grandmother and make sure she is doing okay!
