"2" Huge!

That's about how I'm feeling. Of course I've seen my profile in the mirror but it wasn't until I saw the picture below that I realized how big Little Man has gotten. No wonder it hurts to walk!! :)

We got a lot accomplished this weekend. The kitchen cabinets and built in book shelf in the dining room are sanded & ready for stain. The drywall is now completely done in the kitchen/dining room (okay, save for a really small part behind the back door but that should be done tonight). The wall between the kitchen & dining room has been trimed in. L.M.'s room has been primed & the base paint color is up. Chris was even able to start building L.M.'s closet shelves!!

I can't wait to get the staining done so we can have dishes in our kitchen again (it's been about a year since we've had that "luxury")!

Finally full term!!

At least that's what we're considered now that we've made it to 37 weeks. So, L.M. can show up anytime now, it would definitely be fine by me!!! I just hope we can come up with a name once we see him! If anyone has suggestions go ahead & send 'em our way.

Now that it's stopped "raining" on L.M. we got back to fixing the house. Eric came over on Saturday and Chris helped him put up the "split rail" (as Chris calls it since it's not really at chair height but is closer to splitting the room in half) up in our room so it is now done! Well, for now. We plan to change the rest of the trim but that's for later, probably much later. :) Then on Sunday my mom & brother made it out to help some, too. Jason worked on his bassinet project, mom worked on some of the kitchen cabinet doors & I managed to get some sanding done on the cabinet facings. Finally, things are moving again!!!

Two "4"'s this week. . .

4 weeks to go & our 4th shower!

Sunday evening our church family showered

us with a lot of love!!

We had so much fun with the games

(Kara was very clever with the clothes pin game!!),

and the food was great, too!

Most of all I feel so blessed to have such an

amazing church familly!!!

These great little goodie baskets Anne made up with

storage containers we registered for, love it!

MMMM, chocolate cake w/ "whipped cream" style icing!!

Here's the clothes pin game that Kara showed us up on.

Audrey has been such a great help with

the showers & made them so much fun!!

Thank you everyone for all of the wonderful

gifts in helping Chris and I prepare for Little Man's

arrival, we really are blessed to have such

loving family and friends!!!!!

New Livingroom furniture

I came home yesterday to some surprising new Livingroom furniture!!

What do you think? :)

I must send out a big "Thank You" to Chris's

Dad & brother for such an interesting conversation piece.

Not that you can really have a conversation

while it's in use but maybe this will inspire me to

learn sign language!

All jokes aside, Chris is thrilled & he doesn't

really plan to keep them in the Livingroom,

he just couldn't wait to play.

What a big kid!! :)
