week 38 or 11 more days!!!! but who's counting

most people who know me wonder if there is anything that will slow me down ever.....well here it is at 38 weeks and 11 days left and i have finally slowed down
i am still at work but i sit all day playing with books and art images in air conditioning so its not that bad....
my brain has stopped my poor little feet look like sausage links
aaron took a picture of them for me today because i have totally forgotten what they look like. my friend holly got me a pedicure and i told the holly to pick the polish because i would never see it so i guess she picked a sparkly pink!
and i have to say to all out there pedicures are the bomb! especially when you can't bend down.
so where are we with the house.....as far as i am concerned we are done!
well for now...paul and charlotte are over at the house every week finishing up little projects which is wonderful
charlotte has done an amazing job painting the nursery.....
aaron and i did go to IKEA last weekend and ended up buying lots and lots of stuff...for example this wonderful bookshelf for the nursery, a new bed for us, a sofa, two new chairs, a rug, a tv cabinet, and some things to help us keep organized
its like living in the real world now when you walk into the house and this is the first time aaron and i ever actually bought furniture!
lets see we have started putting things together......
so we have a wonderful bassinet all ready for when she comes home
she will get to sleep next to my paintings and hopefully have wonderful dreams of chickens
we have a stroller well two actually an original pram which will be fun to take her to the beach in and walk around the neighborhood and we have our all terrain stroller for all the off road driving

we also got her the little backpack from ergo and a wonderful sling: all things to carry baby
went to the docs on tuesday and she is doing fine getting bigger and climbing on my ribs
one thing is for sure aaron and i have a very active baby
now what
we wait
and wait until she comes
so wish us luck and cross your fingers that bec will be two in less than 11 days
until next week

week 37 almost there!!!!!

went to the doctors this past tuesday and after she squeezed and poked my belly she stated "you got a big one"
big one to me could be anything between breaking the guinness world book of records to bec might want an epidural
so...what does a big one mean.....
the thinkin' is between 8 to 9 lbs
so cross your fingers that she stops growing in there
though my belly is getting bigger and all i can eat is like one tic tac and i am full yet still the weight keeps coming!
this past week has been a marathon of fun!
yup fun not work which is always a good thing and a new thing
aaron and i actually were at a loss for what to do on sunday after the shower
not bored mind you just sort of not sure what to do
so we ate hamburgers and hung out with friends well playing bocce ball life is good when one is not working on the house!
so what are we doing.....
this weekend we are going to IKEA to buy a new sofa!
and we are assembling things!!!
like a new stroller and bassinet
we got a bunch of wonderful things from the shower and will actually be putting things away and organizing them!
organizing !!!!! i love that word !!!!! all information professionals love to to organize
i wonder if i will become an over organizer?
anyways...
wanted to thank everyone for all the great gifts and for coming out and helping us celebrate
we will have pictures of the shower posted probably next week
for this week though we wanted to thank everyone for their love and support!
we had about 75 people men grilling in the rain, kids swinging on swing sets, and me sitting in my wonderful butter yellow nursing chair eating cake!
thank you holly, hillary, charlotte, and andrea for making it such a wonderful and special day for us!
once again i blab on and on with my thank yous.....but the husband award still goes to aaron!
aaron and i are both super anxious to meet our little girl
aaron loves talking to her and telling her that it is time to come out and that she needs to follow the voice to freedom!
only a few more weeks!
until (hopefully next week)
