29 and 30

Well, I was a bit busy last week, so I didn't post anything.  So, first things first, here is last weeks picture.  The belly is growing like crazy now.  This little one is kicking and making a fuss in the stomach.  Nick got to watch quite a show the other day.  He/she was doing quite a little dance and there were limbs flying and poking out all over the place.  It was really cool.  We are getting to the point where I can, with some certainty, figure out which is the head and which is the butt.  And sometimes I can trace down legs and arms too.  It's really crazy to think that we only have 10 more weeks until this little one is due!! I can't (and can all at the same time) wait!!  We did go order the crib and the rocking chair I wanted this weekend, so we should be picking those up in about 2 weeks.  Then we can start putting the room together for real.  We also picked up the stroller and carseat combo that my parents got us.  It's super cute.  Nick has some work to do though since the stroller is in about 15 pieces!!! :)  This is all still pretty surreal.  It's so weird to think that, after wanting a baby for all this time, we are actually going to have one!!! It's a little scary, but exciting at the same time! Anyway, enough babbling... Here is this weeks. picture... 30 weeks.... 10 to go...

Just to fill you in quickly on everything else that's going on - work has been pretty busy (well, just last week really).  Luckily, I think things will be pretty calm for the next couple weeks, or so one can hope.  I don't know if it's this crazy cold that I have or just being pregnant, but I was just absolutely exhausted today... So I tried to get out of work a little early, but then got stuck in traffic, so I ended up not getting home until 

my normal time anyway.  *sigh* Such is life!  I do have this crappy cold though.  Nick had it the week we got back from vacation and I thought I was lucky enough to avoid it, but apparently not.  It caught up with me last Thursday and had me pretty much knocked out all weekend.  We were supposed to go to our birthing class Saturday, but feeling as crappy as I did, I didn't want to pass it on to all the other pregnant ladies... So we had to reschedule for October.  So, lets all hope this baby doesn't come early, or we will be in trouble and not know what to when it comes!!

The dogs are behaving themselves, mostly.  Nick almost killed Elwood this weekend... I was already in bed Saturday night and Nick went to let the dogs go out before going to bed... Well, our good little guy, Jake, went right out.  Elwood stuck his head out the door like he was going to go out, then he circled around and came back in and peed right in the subwoofer for Nick's new surround sound system!!!  Seriously! There is just one little opening in the whole dang thing - the rest is solid - and he managed to go DIRECTLY in the one hole!!!!  And when Nick yelled at him to stop; he just kept going!!!  Then he said "I'M GOING TO KILL YOU DOG!!!" and Elwood took off outside and hid in the far corner of the yard and stayed out there for an hour and a half!!  Even the next morning, Elwood was afraid to come near Nick.  Apparently dogs know what "I'm going to kill you" means!!! hahaa!!! Crazy damn dog!!  

Okay - well, I take that behaving themselves thing back... Jake just knocked the lamp off the table... still works, so I guess it's all good, but here is a picture of them from just before the lamp went flying... haha!! Dorky dogs. :)

Anyway, I am going to go take some cough medicine and go to bed now... I will try to remember to update after my doctors appointment tomorrow.

Good day! :)
