Settled in...(oh and 35 weeks)

Well we finally made it. We're almost completely settled into the new place, walls are painted, everything is put away and we're just a few hung pictures away from being done. Zoey's room still needs some more oranization but even that is looking pretty good already. The move went really smooth with the help of movers and some amazing family and friends that helped paint, lug boxes and bring us food. This place really feels like home, not that the other one didn't but we're really comfortable here. Even the kitties are settling in nicely after they discovered we're tree level and have tons of windows for them to bird watch.

Currently we have TONS of family in to visit. The Barnes and their 4 kiddos from Arizona and the Cruz kids (totallying 3) are down from Canada too!! It's going to be so much fun to watch our own join the loving madness of the pack. It's been great having everyone around, the choas of doing anything with a group our size is a wonderful distraction from how much time we really have left before she's here. I'm SO excited to NOT be pregnant anymore! Although I've been really comfortable throughout I'm SO ready to go for a long run or a hard workout. Not being able to do anything myself is starting to get really old.





My mom held a baby shower at her house for me over the weekend and it was BEAUTIFUL!! Bright pink and purple everywhere with ducky details. Just perfect. It was mostly my side of the family (along with my sister and mother-in-law) and a couple friends.





For the last couple Fridays we've been taking our childbirth class. This Friday is our last class and we'll get to do the hospital tour and then we're supposed to be ready. EEK! So, in class last week we saw a video of an actual birth....all up close and everything. I have to say that the look on Jay's face was hillarious. There was sheer terror in his watery eyes (and not emotional-watery, but I'm-going-to-yack-watery) and was a very pale shade of grey. Poor guy. Hopefully that will remind him of my request of NO LOOKING. Trauma and nausea aside, in just a few short weeks our first little monster will finally be joining us and we couldn't be more excited. After years of having multiple guest rooms/den/office/workout rooms we can finally have one always be designated as our daughter's room. I can't wait to see it change over the years as her personallity comes out and she gets to pick how it's decorated.

Alright here comes the 34 week picture. For any who have a wide screen setting now would be the time to use it.
