I have pretty feet, don't I?

My mom was kind enough to give me a gift certificate to Becoming Mom Spa. They specialize in pampering expectant mothers. I'm too pregnant for a massage, so I got the hot stone pedicure. It was a very nice, relaxing treat.

As I walked out I called Jim and told him "I have pretty feet!" His response, "Can you see them?"

I can when I'm sitting down.

You and me's gonna rumble kid

We had our last shower today, a wonderful afternoon courtesy of my MIL, SIL, and niece. Jan put together this amazing word search - by hand! I was very impressed.

We've brought everything home, sorted out some of the duplicates to return, and put most everything away.

Today I made the crib, put the breathable bumper on, hooked up the womb bear. I need to plug in all the various monitors and receivers and fill out a bunch of warranty cards. I'm hoping we'll finally hang the curtains and quilt tomorrow.

However, if this child would decide to come . . . oh I don't know, say tonight, there would be no hard feelings. It hurts to move, much less walk!

Name for the week . . . Gobbler. I wanted Giblets but Jim said no.

5 Years Ago Today . . .

We were walking down the aisle.



I looked up the 5 year anniversary gift. Apparently it's wood.
(Insert Bevis & Butthead laugh here) "Wood"

That can go so many different ways . . .




Happy Anniversary Baby, you are my everything.

The POD has left the driveway . . .

Happy happy joy joy dance!

Mark Your Calendars

It's official, kinda. We are a scheduled C-Section for 11/26 - 9AM. The doctor said that the baby seems to be too large and by 39 weeks it won't be safe to try and deliver.

Works for me. I was okay either way, but this way it's not my decision.

List update:

• Bookshelf is in place
• Furniture is in place
• Kitchen is no longer storage for a shop vac
• Most of the clothes/blankets/burp rags/etc. are put away

I REALLY wish IKEA was open here. I had bought several storage boxes in Chicago and I REALLY wish I'd bought a ton more. Anyone going to Chicago anytime soon?

Premonition?

Why can I see this being something I would say?

It's beginning to look a lot like a house . . .

Dad came over and all 3.5 of us busted butt to get things done.

• DONE - Move in more furniture from the POD (I want that GONE this week)
• DONE - Put the crib together
• Bring up the bookshelf for Crabby's room
• IN PROGRESS - Start to put things away in Crabby's room (clothes, toys, diapering stuff)
• OFFICE DONE - Hang pictures in Crabby's room, office, and our bedroom
• The bathroom needs work - but that might have to wait a day or two

The living room is almost completely back together, my office is done, the dinning room is done (including setting up the pack and play), our bedroom is done except for a mirror and some knick knacks. The kitchen is a mess and Crabby's room still needs some storage bins, decorating, and the drunken dresser needs to be fixed so I can fill it.

All in all a pretty successful day. Now I'm going to go collapse . . .
