1st check-up

Hey everybody,

well I had my first check-up and they gave me my "official"due date. any wild guesses? no? Ok, May 20th. For those of you that don't know, that's also the date I happen to have been born on!!! Oh well, I may have birthday cake in the delivery room--think they'd allow that?? I know it wouldn't have candles on it!!
I didn't really get examined at all (I got bloodwork which I assume was all normal b/c I haven't heard otherwise--however that may also be due to my phone...more on that in a minute) but I got to meet my dr. He seems really nice. He was patient and answered each of my questions totally and was very helpful in what I can/can't do. I CAN drink 1-2 cups of coffee a day. HALLELUJAH!!! I thought I was gonna have to give it up for a few months. But I can drink it. I also started my pre-natal vitamins. so far I'm not sick at all and my back's the best it's been in a while--mostly due to the fact that no one at work will let me pick anything but a chihuahua up and I'm not even allowed to hold a big dog. But that's good--maybe my back can get healed before I put a ton of stress on it by having a big belly.

oh,about my phone--if you've called me lately and my phone went straight to voicemail it's not cuz my phones been off (I rarely turn it off--I'll turn it to vibrate but not off). It's b/c my phone is doing something weird and keeps saying "service unavailable" which I could believe at my house cuz we get bad reception, however Josh's phone is the exact same model, company and I can hold both phones and his works and mine doesn't. I figured out it wasn't working on Thursday (once or twice earlier that week it hadn't been either I found out) but after turning it off/on several times it started working and I suddenly had 6 messages that weren't there before and no "missed calls". So, if you call me and I don't get back to you, it may be b/c I didn't get your message/call or my phones not working to call you back!!! So I apologize in advance, and Steffi--I'll try to call you now that I know you called (4 days later). Anyway, that's all I have time for. Josh and I went camping this weekend so I have today (Monday) off. Hopefully I can get on later today and tell you all about that and put some pics on, but for now, I need to go get my puppy out of the kennel and take him swimming b/c I'm sure he's got a LOT of pent up energy!!!

Talk to you all soon
