The break is almost over

It has been another uneventful week at the Tullos home, but this will be the last for a while.  We tried to relax and enjoy doing as little as possible for the last weekend at home.  I shopped for some maternity clothes (more on that later) and we had dinner with some friends Saturday night.  I don't think I got out of my pajamas Sunday, but it was much needed rest. 

Ok, back to the maternity clothes.  I have been lucky not to have to shop for too much until now, mostly because its been entirely too hot and all I have worn all summer are cotton dresses.  Well, I am starting to realize some of those are not really fitting quite right anymore and I might need to get some real maternity clothes for the next few months.  Who knew they were so expensive?  I mean really, I am supposed to pay that much for something I am going to wear for 3 months?  And how many times can you wear the same thing in 3 months anyway?  Oh well. 

And speaking of the heat, they are actually make a big deal about it on the news.  Apparently this is the hottest summer in Little Rock in who-knows-how-long.  We have had 20-something days over 100 degrees! Obviously not the best, or at least coolest, summer to be pregnant in Little Rock.  At least fall is just around the corner (I hope!)

Also just around the corner - Baby Showers!  I am getting really excited.  The first shower is this weekend in New Albany.  A lot of my family will be in town and A's parents are coming too. It will be fun to see everyone and just relax and celebrate the upcoming arrival of Baby T.  I feel like it's so hard to find time to just visit and enjoy being with family, so I am really looking forward to this weekend.

 I am also looking forward to this weekend because I won't see A again until then.  He left at 6:30 (too early!) this morning for a retreat with his new job.  Yeah, he's getting paid to to hang out at the lake and play golf for three days.  I have to say that I am a little jealous, but I am so happy that he has a good job that he enjoys. 

In Baby T news, I had my 30 week (wow, really?! only 10 weeks to go?!) check-up this morning.  The doctor said everything looks and sounds great.  She also said, her best guess is that Baby T is up to about 3 pounds now.  Also of note, Baby T has a name!  Can you believe it?  Yeah, me neither!  A and I have decided to keep the name to ourselves until he arrives (sorry), but we are sharing initials.  Of course that has led to a lot of guessing, but we are doing our best to wait until he is here to properly introduce him.  In case you're curious, the initials are J.A.T.
