week 36 here we go!

you might be wondering what happened to week 35.
well we have skipped it....reason....busy busy busy
what happened during that week is nothing more than bec got a little bigger and has started complaining A LOT more because she has totally lost view of her feet and when she can see them they are so swollen they look like sausage links!
the bookshelf has been completed
yes i repeat the bookshelf has been completed
it was like hearing santa's reindeer hooves on the roof, having a democrat in the presidential office, winning the lotto, any combination of the above
our life is finally becoming a life
there is a light at the end of the construction tunnel we call home
we might have a table to eat off of instead of planks of wood supported by saw horses
bec might actually be able to go through a nesting phase and CLEAN the house
bec might actually become sane
the new development is the crazy slap happy look
a crazy look aaron and bec both develop after working on the house for 12 hours straight
but none of this could be done with out some great sponsors!
so lets thank:
hillary for making our kitchen a swear free zone, painting flowers and bookshelves and listening to bec complain about not being able to bend over
holly for becoming one with the dust and construction dirt in our house and eliminating all tumble weeds of cat hair and listening to bec complain about everything
grandma charlotte for making clouds and so much more that it would take months to list but making the nursery the MOST awesome room!
grandpa paul for making a work of art in our living room and listening to bec complain (bec complains a lot)
and aaron for being the best and most supportive husband during this very happy and busy time he is the best partner and husband a woman could ask for and i can not wait to see him him with daughter because i know he will be the best dad!
thank you ALL so much for all your support in helping us get our house and life in order.
now i feel like i have just won an oscar...my eyes are teary thank you grandma & grandpa bristol & aunt holly for all your support, wise words, and love
thank you aunt melodye for your advice and words of kindness as this is such a new and scary experience its nice to know that we have your love
thank you cyndie for all your comments and gifts they have made us laugh and smile when we really needed it
thank you team at progressive for supporting aaron & i during this time!
we are slowly transforming the home depot look to IKEA!
nothing really more to add:
going back to the doctors on may 22 and than i will be going every week
the baby has not dropped yet and she is getting bigger every day i can see little feet and a little butt pushing against my belly making me look and walk very lopsided
a little under four more weeks to go!!!! and i can not WAIT!!!!
until next week when life starts to slow down.......
ps. i got an A in my usability class at kent, so it is possible to maintain a 4.0 grade point average, re-build a house, work full time and become a station for baby development!

how to get to the shower:
google map

the east shore park club is right off Neff road which is right off Lakeshore

so if you are coming from the westside you can:

• take I-90 East to exit 182A otherwise known as the 185th street exit keep right at the fork and follow the signs for 185th street north you will than merge onto 185th street
• make a slight left onto Neff road which i think is about one traffic light once on 185th street
  
• take Neff for about .7 miles you will pass over lakeshore blvd keep going you will see the lake in front of you before you hit the lake
  
• turn right onto Dorchester you will see balloons, signs, happy people on your left hand side this is the place!!!!!

if you are coiming from the east side:

• take I-90 West towards good ole cleveland to exit 182A or 185th street exit
• you will merge onto Villaview Road
  
• than turn right onto Neff road
  
• than a right onto Dorchester.

real easy so there should be no problems but if there are let us know.....
The shower is 4 to 8 pm on Saturday May 19th
Hope to see you all there!!!!!
you can't miss me either.......

week 34.....where are my feet?

i have totally lost touch with or have forgotten about:
bending over
my feet
the cat (because she is only 1 foot high)
the ground
gardening
bugs that crawl (i don't miss this though)
getting out of bed with out having to roll
getting out of a chair by myself
there are many more things i miss but there are so many things i love like:
making my tummy a drum
waddling (really really fast)
the dreams
the super cute shoes that are only an inch long!
not much to say for this week just the same ole same ole......paul is busy putting in molding in the dining room
and we are getting a dining room table this weekend so we might be able to eat at a table (though i am a walking table with my own personal tv tray, i measured the belly ledge when i am sitting it is about 2 inches)
we are actually going to pack the hospital bag this week
i have been told by the nurses at the hospital that we can bring music to listen to.....so i am bring talking heads, for some odd reason this pregnancy has been all about listening to the talking heads it actually calms her down so why not?
we got a great little gift in the mail from my aunt heidi, little botties and a hat she knitted!
we are packing the little hat for the hospital. hopefully this time next week we will be painting our bookshelves!
paul is busy putting the finishing touches on and its only one more weekend and all should be done.
think that is all to report.
i go back to the doctors on monday for them to play find the baby, really they are just going to figure out how she is sitting and if she has dropped, which hasn't because i still can not breath.
tonight is my last day of school! until september i am super happy about that!!!!!!
see how happy!
until next week......
remember SHOWER MAY 19th!!!!
