Home again

Well, we went to vegas this past weekend, not too planned. we didnt know if we would even be able to go, but my doctor said wednesday that i wasnt dilated or effaced at all, so we went, and everything was fine. we met up crystal and jeremy and dan went to a game with jeremy, and we walked around the strip, watched the fountains at the bellagio, went to the rio buffet, went swimming at the hotel and ended up seeing dans dad who was in town also. then we came home today (sunday) and it feels good to be home. it was nice though to just have a little vacation and not worry to much about anything. we forgot our camera for most of the trip in the car (which was parked at the hotel) so i dont have any exciting pictures, although i think everybody's seen vegas. its got some neat architecture but a lot of it is urban blight anyways. i recommend the Tahiti Village (where jeremy and crystal stayed, and we stayed with them friday night). there is no casino in it at all! and its really nice, the pool (i will put a couple pictures of it up) is nice, and they have a real sand beach which is kinda fun! and our house is coming along well, they have the tile in, and cabinets and countertops, and its painted, lights up, just needs carpet and toilets and grout! other than that i think its done, oh and they have yet to paint our shutter on the front green to match th others, they put those shutters up after the other ones... anyways, tomarrow is school , and only 3 more days of school left! yay!!! oh yah, and i HAVE been having braxton hicks contractions, i didnt realize it, but in vegas i was just saying how hard my stomach was, and crystal felt it, and told me that was a contraction, but i never realized that because i thought it was just the baby stretching out or something. but after she pointed that out, i have noticed them not a whole lot , but defintatly a handful of times thru out the day. they seem to come in bunches. so that was kinda wierd, they dont hurt at all, so thats probably another reason i didnt realize i was having them. i am 37 weeks now by the way! so anytime now is fine to have the baby because he's full term. the doctor said he thought he was around the high 6's (pounds). anyways, later! will probably be busy this week with school so i may not post for a little bit. oh by the way, the baby is crystal and jeremy's new baby girl, born jan 3rd, she is really cute! her name is kjersti (sp?)
