with 3 days to go...

Today we went to have Don's car windows tinted. If we like the final results, we'll have mine tinted by the same company. He's been wanting to do this for quite some time now and it should provide little Brett with some protection from the intense desert sun out here when he's riding in his car seat.

We also went to a local casino and had 10 dollars each in free slot play. We kept cashing out when we got ahead, even if it was a few cents. We ended up turning in lots of tickets for a total of just over$17.oo in free money. Then, we turned around and used it for a lunch at Johnny Rocket's. We split an original hamburger, fries/onion rings, and a strawberry shake. Yum! (It is good that we discovered Johnny Rocket's late in my pregnancy instead of having cravings for it for nine months!) :) We also received a promotional gift - a cute little bunny that doubles as a static-remover/dusting cloth for computer screens. I told the guy who was handing them out that they should be called "dust bunnies"! We also looked around the huge Bass Pro Shop store.

I felt a few more "twinges" this morning in my stomach - kind of a heartburn-type-of-squeezy feel. Just practicing for the real thing, I guess.

Last night I felt truly pregnant...who else would wake up in the middle of the night at 2:55 a.m. soooo hungry...AND go downstairs to actually get something to eat...just a pregnant woman, I'd say. I was so wide awake and couldn't get back to sleep. Brett was moving around and my stomach was growling so loudly, I had to go downstairs to satisfy my hunger. I hadn't been too hungry at dinner. So, at about 3 a.m. I ate not one, but two raspberry toaster strudles. I think my "bad" cravings have saved themselves for this last month! Mostly throughout my pregnancy the cravings have been "healthy"...baked potatoes, grapefruits, grapefruit juice and other juices, etc.

Off to take an afternoon nap...he's zapping my energy night and day.

Only 3 more days 'til our due date...
