News from tonight:
It's "game on" now. The Dr. told us that we are far enough along in the pregnancy that they would not try to stop labor if it ocurred.

35 Week Check-up
We had our 35 week check-up tonight. The Dr. checked the baby's heartbeat. Strong as ever! He also took a swab to test for Group B Strep. It's a regular test that they perform these days so that they can head off an infection, if need be. He said that about 15% of mothers test positive. No big deal, they just start a course of antibiotics. We'll see how our test results come back.

Baby Shower
Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!
Rob and I were very touched at the outpouring of love and generosity from everyone who attended (and those who couldn't be there) our Baby shower on Saturday. I think Katherine is going to be the best dressed baby for her first 6 months! She also has just about everything a child could need for playtime, naptime, bathtime, and sicktime.
A special thank you goes out to everyone who helped with the planning and preparation of the Shower. I was honestly suprised. It's not something easily done to me. Usually I will pick up on some clue or another. However, I would have loved to have heard what the people at the Harford County Health Department and the Maryland Department of the Environment were saying about me! "What a psycho!" For those of you that were wondering, I finished the rest of my term paper and submitted it for grading. Just one quiz at the end of this week and then I will be done...until the Fall Semester.
***Update*** I just received my grade for my term paper. 95%! Woo Hoo! Thank you all for providing the incentive to get at least part of it done early!
Thanks again!

Our Teacher of the Year
My Uncle Bob was recently named as one of the ten finalists for the Teacher of the Year in Harford County. The award dinner was last night and unfortunately he did not win. It's a robbery I tell you, a robbery! Anyway, I am reminded of when Uncle Bob had to teach his band students in a school's locker room because of overcrowding. The acoustics were great, but the backed-up sewage left a lot to be desired.
My, how far you've come! We're all very proud of you. You're OUR Teacher of the Year!

Commercials
OK. I don't know if these bother anyone else, but they're driving me crazy. There are two commercials on t.v. that bother me so much I have to change the channel.
The first one is for Lamisil. It's the nail fungus drug that has the cartoon guys creating havoc under someone's toenail. For some reason, I can't handle seeing the toenail being flipped up by the little monsters. Grosses me out!
The second commercials are fairly new. Volkswagon has two commercials featuring the safety features (I think airbags and crumple zones) of the Jetta. It features people driving along, having a normal conversation, and then suddenly crashing into another car. The realism of the impact and the movement of the passengers is too much for me.
I know the goal is to get people to remember their product. But do companies realize how traumatic their commercials are? Sorry, I just had to vent.
