I feel like we're not in Texas anymore! We've been experiencing some winter weather lately and the reaction around us is proving to be absolutely hilarious! I have found that with the threat of snow, everything closes! Yesterday they were sending people home early from work. Of course that was after they threw grape size water softener salt tablets on the walkways to "melt" the ice and prevent anyone from falling. This morning there are a bunch of school closings and delays. I myself included in the delays as I just received a call telling me that I don't have to be to work until 9:00 a.m. this morning. All because there is maybe 1/4 inch of snow accumulation on the roads! Needless to say, they'll be getting the sand out on the roadways this morning! Here is the link to one of our local news station's website. Check it out for a good laugh if you are part of our family from Michigan!

They also have delayed the opening of Fort Hood yesterday and today. Yesterday morning it took me ten minutes to get in the gate on post to take Austin to school, only to find out that they were not accepting children until 9:00 a.m. Oh, I was mad. They are also delayed again this morning, not accepting children until 11:00 a.m. So lucky Austin gets to stay home with Daddy again this morning! They've been spending a lot of quality time together lately!
On another note, yesterday marked the beginning of my 35th week of pregnancy. Only 5 or less weeks to go. I have a feeling that it might be less as it has felt like the baby has dropped over the weekend! Even one of the girls at worked said that it appeared as though I had dropped when I asked her if I looked different! I wanted to make sure it wasn't just me who thought that the baby was lower. Of course with her dropping this means that I've had an increase in aches and pains in my lower belly and my back is bothering me a little more. And no it's not because I'm over doing things, it hurts when I sit at my desk for a long period of time! I go back to see Dr. L tomorrow morning. I'll be surprised if he checks for dilation again, but he might after I mention that if feels as though the baby has dropped. We'll just have to wait and see! Here is some information about what is going on with the baby. I receive a weekly email and I think it's kind of fun to share with everyone!
Your baby doesn't have much room to maneuver now that she's over 18 inches long and weighs over 5 pounds. In fact, most of her development is complete. From here on, she's mostly concentrating on fattening up. You don't have a lot of room to grow either— your uterus is now about 15 times its normal size.
Well, I better get ready for work. I'm going to try and get there before 9 so that I can beat some of the traffic associated with this mess! Not that there are going to be too many people out there. With schools being closed I can't imagine that traffic is going to be really bad. That and people are too afraid to get out and drive! I'm sure it wouldn't bother me as much if people actually knew how to drive in this stuff and didn't act like idiots! Oh well, after all...we do live in Texas!
