Well, I got sick... really sick. I normally get one cold a year and it's not too bad. Well, not this time. I felt MISERABLE! It hit me on Thursday. Friday morning was an outdoor, walking field trip and that afternoon was a Halloween Party. Those two things are enough to make any teacher sick. By Friday at 3:30 I felt like I couldn't move/talk/think. I drove home (somehow) and officially decided to cancel my trip to Los Angeles (tear). I was going to tailgate on campus for USC Homecoming and then attend a bridal shower for my dear friend, Jessica. I'm still very sad I couldn't see my friends, but I know it's what was best for my body (and my baby).
So, I slept all Friday afternoon and night. I woke up when my amazing husband came home with groceries and things to make homemade soup. He is so sweet. He had called me on his way home from work and I kept yelling (nasally) to just buy store bought soup... but he insisted on making homemade soup. So, I had yummy chicken and vegetable soup with lots of garlic. If you haven't heard: garlic is the secret ingredient when you're sick. I put a ton of it in soup when Jake or I am sick - and we're cured very quickly. Friday night I also had an entire head of roasted garlic with bread. So, needless to say, I'm getting better.
So, here is the 30 week belly shot. I insisted on putting clothes and make-up on for this one. And I'm good at faking a smile...

It looks like I'm pushing my belly out... but I'm not.
In other baby news: we toured the hospital where Parker will be born.
Any friends or family with extra time on their hands may check out this video of the El Camino Hospital Online Maternity Tour. After watching it, I'm wondering why Jake and I even wasted time or money on the class... the video shows everything we learned on the tour!
Jake and I both had mini heart attacks when we saw the labor/delivery room and tiny bed where they put the baby once it is born. At our hospital they don't have a nursery where they take the newborns to get checked out and stuff. Instead they do it all in the room next to mom and dad. So, we saw the little area where he'd be looked at. That was the heart attack/exciting part. It was very comforting to see where we'd go, park, check in, etc. That way we're not freaking out about those small things what D-Day comes. Or, B-Day? I dunno.
Also, last weekend my Mother-in-Law hosted a baby shower for me! It was so much fun and made me so anxious to meet our lil' guy. We got the best stuff! I feel so blessed to have married into such a wonderful family. I don't have any pictures to post yet... but I'll get some soon!
