Weekend Catch-up

We're in the middle of a busy weekend, trying to get things done before the hectic month of August is upon us. I think the next few months are going to be crazy and then we'll be bored to tears in October after I can't travel or do much else.

This weekend we almost finished the guest room/office. We had one room devoted to each but decided we could combine them to have a room for the boy. Mike did the works, with a little help from me: new paint, new blinds, refurbished fan (the old one from our bedroom), new doorknobs and eventually a better closet. That's our final project, the closet. Mike's going to build me some shelves and make it much more useful.

Right now Mike's mowing the lawn and I'm doing laundry, I love the stereotypical division of labor we've got going :-)

Our plans for the afternoon are to go to Lake Lily and take some pictures (of me!). We have been doing the "mug shot" photos for about 7 weeks now, and they are not terribly flattering or artistic. They do the job of showing my progress and it's fun to look back at 17 weeks and how tiny I was, but boy did it feel like a big deal then! Last night I told Mikey how happy I am to be on this journey with him. It's been really fun and I'm sooo happy. I promise the goofy smile will fade as the heartburn kicks up more and more and I can't sleep in the third trimester. I had a little trouble trimming my toenails last night... just one of the many inconveniences to come, I'm sure. I have been a little worried about my weight gain so far, but felt much better as I was putting away laundry today and realized that the dress I wore to work this week (a simple high-waisted number that I bought right before I found out I was pregnant) was a size 4, and it still fits! Not that I would fit into a size 4 in anything other than a dress, but still :-)

Mom sent me some really pretty things from Old Navy that aren't maternity either, but work great! Kristen said I picked a great time (fashion-wise) to be pregnant, and I have to agree. About half of my new little wardrobe is just loose, current trendy stuff that happens to work with a big belly.

Wow, that's a lot of babble for today. I'll post pictures later, or tomorrow.
