I know it's getting close

Good morning!

I know that 'whatever date I'm looking forward to is getting close' is when I see the date in the 10-day weather forecast online - and July 2nd is officially there today!! (I know that makes me a dork, but I'm okay with that!) So we are, indeed, nearing the due date :)

Yesterday Ian and I were able to meet our pediatrician - and we love him! His name is Dr. Miller and he practices pediatrics and internal medicine - meaning that if Ian and I needed a doctor, he would take us on as patients too, so that the whole family could be treated by one doctor - what a great thing! He's very friendly, very informative, talked alot, which I LOVE - I really like it when doctors inform the patients instead of the patients needing to drag information out of the doctors! Plus, he went to U of Illinois Champaign-Urbana, so where can we really go wrong? :) Anyhow, he lines up with a lot of my beliefs about antibiotics and stuff, and I let him know I'm wary of combining immunizations, so he knows what he's getting into there! And he'll still take the baby and us on as new parents! Needless to say, I'm very comfortable with him as our baby's doctor - and so is Ian! So that is a good thing :) Plus, the office is about 8 minutes from home with one stoplight in between, we can call his nurses at any time of the day, there is a pediatric urgent care center we can go to until 10pm (his office closes at 5pm) and its charged like a regular appointment, and all sorts of other good things :)

On a bad note - our air conditioner is on the fritz!!!! There is a heat advisory for Peoria, it's supposed to be 95 degrees today and FEEL like 104 or something like that, and I don't have a mini-van to take me anywhere :( Ian is downstairs working on it right now - so we'll see! But the coils are iced over - is it just that hot? We don't know....

Update at 8:30am: I just went downstairs, coiled are not iced over, but I'm going to wait a little longer to turn the air back on.... Hopefully it will be okay. If not, Ian will call the fix-it man :)

Those are the big events of the day, I suppose :) Another doctor's appointment tomorrow - and then the next doctor's appt I go to is 3 days before my due date!

Ohhh... I"m also going swimming with Carol on Friday (I think... if I don't have the baby!) We're going to a lake where they rent tubes and stuff - so I can just float around all day in nice and cool water :) And have some relief of this big belly, I hope!

Here's a picture Ian took of me last night - I didn't want to take it - but Ian said we needed to document....
Have a great day everyone - stay cool!
Love
Laura
