6 more weeks!

Only 6 weeks left until our due date. I can hardly believe it's just right around the corner. In just a few days I'll be able to say that we're having a baby next month.

We will have our first birthing class tonight and I'm really looking forward to it. It's something Brian and I can do together to prepare for the baby. As I get bigger and our due date is more imminent, he seems to be more excited.

I've had 2 of the 3 baby showers. This kid is set for life! Friends and family have been very generous and all the big stuff has been purchased. It's all put together already and waiting to be used.

The house remodel is done minus some touch ups here and there. I'm having my step-dad build a mantle and built-in bookshelf around the fireplace. Once that goes in I can start unpacking some of the boxes that have our photos and trinkets. Dini

ng room furniture gets delivered on Friday. Our bedroom furniture is still MIA. It's now 2 months late. I think Russells Furniture has a picture of me on a poster that says: **WARNING disgruntled customer. Talk to at your own risk. ** I've been over there several times and have made numerous phone calls for furniture updates. I think they're sick of seeing me, but too bad for them. Until they produce our furniture they are going to feel my wrath. I've already demanded they credit me for the cost of delivery. It's only fair seeing how they haven't delivered anything when they are supposed to. Bastards. Whatever...

My belly feels really big now compared to before. It just hit me these last two weeks. I felt fine before that, but the belly is now wearing me out.

Here's my most recent belly pic at a couple days shy of 34 weeks

I wonder how many more posts there will be until he arrives? I guess we'll see....

Dear Armpits,

Please stop sweating. It's not even hot out right now.

Sincerely,
All the shirts in the closet

Nothing much to update

A lot has been happening, but it's all the same old stuff. The house is 3 weeks away from completion. The kitchen cabinets are completely installed and granite is going in as I type. The granite guys look like they are doing lunges because they have to push the granite pieces together as they wait for the sealer to dry. The only things left to do in the house are base boards, crown molding, cherry floors, tile, windows, the fireplace bookshelves, and appliance installation. While it seems like a long list, the final stretch is moving quickly. I can't wait to get the furniture in the house and start putting all the rooms together.

We are in the single digit weeks before the baby arrives. 8.5 weeks left. My friend Katie M. announced to me that she's calling him Dinosaur because of a song I sing, and I think it's a cute idea. I get tired of calling him baby, and since his room is a dinosaur room and I sing him dinosaur songs, I will be calling him Dinosaur from now on since his real name is still a secret. Dinosaur is doing well. Our OB appointments are only 2 weeks apart now. I'm exactly where I should be in terms of weight gain and he's measuring right on track. My OB says I'm one of her easiest patients because everything is always perfect with both of us. My sciatic pain is still really bad, and I now have some pretty terrible round ligament pain, but it's a small price to pay for the prize at the end.

I have 3 baby showers coming up and the first one is next weekend. I'm so excited I can hardly wait. I'm trying to soak up every little moment and celebration before the pregnancy ends. As we're nearing the end, it feels like it's flying by.
