Still no baby

Well, with all this being up and around more, I have lost track of the time and forgotten to blog. The baby room beckons me, the dishes need done, the bathroom needs scrubbing. Yes, it's true. I never thought it would happen to me, but alas, it has. I. AM. NESTING. Now with my instructions being to stop when I feel like I need to, I am getting more done than I thought I would. Over the past week a lot has been accomplished. We have all of the baby furniture now. Two of the items need paint, so last night my parents came over and started in on the dresser. It didn't quite get finished as it still needs one coat (it started as plain wood with varnish). The other item is a changing table/dresser, which shouldn't need nearly as much sanding as the dresser did since it already has paint on it. In the meantime I have sorted through my shower gifts and the clothes that I got from David's sister. They are now just waiting to get put into drawers and on to hangers (don't have any baby hangers yet).

You know how someone can tell you're nesting? When you drag your husband to the store at 8 pm and arrive at the checkout counter with a cart full of cleaning supplies, pads, baby/nursing supplies, and a container of Ben and Jerry's Half-Baked ice cream. The other night I just HAD to get the rest of the stuff on my list (turns out they didn't have 2 of the items I needed) so I could finish packing our hospital bags AND finish cleaning the house (because obviously Dorothy is going to get here and say, "Who are these slobs? Haven't they ever heard of a toilet brush??"). I successfully packed the bags (minus the 2 missing items) yesterday, so now I feel a bit more prepared. The farther along I get, the more I feel like it could happen any time, even before the stitch gets taken out. And really. Is packing the hospital bags by 34 1/2 weeks so neurotic? Someone stop me...

So I WAS planning on getting some pictures up here. We got some pictures taken as a couple about 2 1/2 weeks ago and they turned out so cute. I am positive that my husband would love the use of that word. These particular pictures are on a cd rather than a memory card, so we'll see if I am talented enough to get them up here. The laptop is STILL giving me issues and (joy of all joys) I now have the cord that hooks the camera up to the desktop computer, BUT there is one problem. My belly. It's so big I can't bend over the computer to even see where to plug in the cord. So David is just going to have to do that for me when he gets home and then maybe you'll be able to see how ginormous my belly is getting as well as pictures from my shower.

Here goes nothing (these pictures were taken the day I turned 32 weeks):









Aren't we cute?
