Well I was all excited to get a blog, but I find myself not having anything to blog about or any pictures to share. This is a random post to let everyone know what has been happening in our lives...
Well it is officially winter and as I look outside I'm not sure the rain is ever going to let up. I usually don't mind the rain except when I have to hike up the hills on campus and manage to get soaking wet and then be stuck inside with people who smell like wet dogs. The worst part of being pregnant while it is raining is that none of my coats will zip up and so when I mange to stay dry I end up having a huge wet strip down my belly where I can't cover up. Let me tell you that is attractive! Enough about the rain... Clay is unemployed and as much as he hates it I don't seem to mind it at all (a huge change from last unemployed season) I do wish he was collecting a pay check but it is so nice to come home at night and have dinner made for you and the house cleaned, laundry washed and put away. And best of all he sleeps on the couch at least half the week so I can be comfortable at night. (I miss him next to me, but sleep is priceless) He has been such a huge help especially since all I want to do is sleep. I really couldn't ask for a better husband, well okay maybe he could be a little more empathic when the whole pregnancy emotions happen, but he tries to not laugh at me when I'm being completly ridiculous.
Now on to the pregnancy! I am getting ready for him to be here in about 1 month, but it still doesn't seem real, I feel like I am playing pretend, until of course I wake up every 30 minutes to an hour to use the restroom, don't sleep at night when Clay is in bed, and feel like a huge whale ready to explode. I have seemed to manage a pretty normal pregancy and have enjoyed being pregnant, but as of a week ago I have swelled up and its hard to find anything comfortable to wear beside PJS. I guess if this is the worst I have to deal with then I'll survive!
Last weekend my mother-in-law and clays aunt threw me a baby shower in Red Bluff, and it was super fun. My mom, Janelle and the kids, Jessica and Alissa all made the trip over from the coast. We had lots of guest and gifts, now I just have to find some where to put it all. I was excited to see my Aunt Penny and her girls and of course Sashelle's twins. The twins are so adorable and I can't believe how big they have gotton. Sashelle is a trooper and I'm still not sure how she does it all with two newborns, but i think it has something to do with her mom and sister always being there to help! All in All it was a fabulous weekend, I always love getting to see the in-laws and have a relaxing weekend. One of Cindy's friends took lots of pictures and Ill post them as soon as I get them.
A random picture of Connor today
Here is a picture of me at 36 weeks (Janelle didn't realize how big I was until she took these, you got to love her for the truth)
I finally finished the leather on my baskets and my mom put the straps in on one of them.
