Week 39 and Happy Birthday Me!!


Wowsa has it really been almost three weeks since last post? Thank goodness it's free i guess.
Baby Checklist: Bag is packed, house cleaned (not nesting, just the admitting of 'if I don't scrub these floors now it's not going to happen for a long time'), baby shower has been had, car seat installed, clothes and diapers washed... now all we need is baby.

K is excited, she says he is coming at three, not specific on the day, just the time. The baby shower was very nice, I have the best sister-in-law ever! Only bummer was not getting any of her homemade potato soup sent home with us. I must start the thank yous today, people are so generous. Showers are (to me) a bit uncomfortable being the guest of honor, receiving gifts, but this guy will be our last addition and he is a winter boy baby where K was a summer girl - so not too much transfers there.

I grabbed some awesome books these last couple of weeks so I have plenty to keep busy with while up late nursing. Of course I am unable to wait to read them so I've gone through a couple already. There are some projects I am dying to finish/start before he comes, we'll see how that goes. I'm also enjoying just hanging around the house with K and soaking up as much of her and down time as possible. We had a really nice day last week with temperatures near a balmy 30 degrees and took a walk to ship another custom bag out, she had to carry it of course.

Music in the morning

Why can't I wake up with a song I like in my head? Who is making these awful selections? I think my siblings - more likely my husband - play these horrible songs in my ear while I sleep. Matt may be to blame though, we have a little game where we will sing some lyrics to terrible music in the morning and try to get something awful stuck in the other persons head, he usually wins. My question is why does he know the words to the cartoon Jem? Or the songs from The Sound of Music? I secretly love that he wins, his knowledge of bad music certainly surpasses mine.

Happy Girthday to my big brother Michael P.
