busy times

* so due to spotty internet service this post has sat here for the weekend... i will attempt to get a better post together soon!

this post will be fairly boring- i promise that! we are busy trying to get the house together for saturday. it seems like no matter how much gets accomplished- the list is neverending. all the drywall is up & most likely to be spackled today. which means that tuesday we will prime & wednesday we will paint. hopefully...


monday is our 2nd childbirth class- talk about a funny experience with the hub. he was all congested last week & literally couldn't breath. not that i would have held it against him- it would probably just annoy me to have him trying to breathe with me when really in labor. i am a fan of the long slow breathing technique, but the other ones don't feel natural at all to me. i was starting to get panicky & felt like i was hyperventilating just attempting them in class. i did like seeing the different positions & ideas for what to do doing labor. i will probably bring my exercise ball with us, whether it gets used or not who knows- but it would be nice to have the option. nothing was new or earthshattering information for me, but there was stuff i wouldn't have necessarily thought of on my own while in the throes of labor. so we'll see what this week holds.


speaking of this week- ummm- 33 weeks. holy crap! seeing a new week tick by really never gets old for me (i'm a simple girl, it doesn't take much to amaze me!) but this week she is about 4 pounds or so & almost her full length she will be at birth. wow. i am going to ask the doc this week how she is lying because to me it kind of feels like she is all horizontal in there- straight across the belly. she is still very active & the neighbor was able to see some of her alienesque belly moving last night. very cool- that is my favorite part of pregnancy so far.



we have gotten rid of our cable & internet. well- they were bundled & the cable service is hideously awful- so we said no more. we are probably going to get the whole antenna/converter box thing & so far we've just been watching movies when we want something to sit in front of. it's been pretty nice. and thankfully there is a free wireless spot right outside our house (who knew!) that we can use. it's spotty & slow & pretty crappy, but it does the job for checking e-mail & updating the blog. so we may just hold off & save ourselves the $130 a month since we know it can be put to much better use elsewhere.

*as of monday the hub has restored the internet. at least the cable is gone & the bill is cut in half. i was okay with the wireless, but he got too annoyed when it kept cutting out.

i am trying to get everything into this week- ordering chairs for saturday, calling a pediatrician for a initial visit to see if we like them, 34 week appointment, cleaning the house, getting the kitchen i ready, getting places for 5 people to sleep in the house ready. it's a busy week and i am already exhausted! luckily the hub is home this week to work on the kitchen. so hopefully it will not only get done, but i won't have to be the one to do it!
