Well I know it’s been a long time since my last post, but a lot has happened! Plus, I have no internet connection at the house. :) So anyways, I am typing this up on my computer, on Word, and will put it onto a flash-drive and take it (or even easier, my computer) to someplace with internet. Everything’s going good, and I feel fine. I have normal (says the midwife) puffy ankles and I am tired a lot.
Our house is going good, too. It is mostly put together. There are just a few things that need to be finished, but it’s taking a while to get to them. When I get ambition I will take pictures. All that really needs to be done is:
• Staining in the kitchen
• Hanging two ceiling lamps
• Putting trim on our bedroom closet
• Actually, trim in most of the house :)
• Curtains for the living room
• Café-style curtains for the bathroom and kitchen
• Painting/finishing/hanging shelves in the laundry/pantry room
It seems like a lot, but considering what we’ve done, its almost finished…. Seems that way, and let me keep thinking that. :) All the decorations are up, and I feel at home.
I have three showers coming up starting tomorrow, so then I will get to start re-arranging the house to make room for baby things, and I will get to start getting the boy’s room ready! We’re trying to find a dresser at a garage sale or craigslist. We also have a crib we’re buying from Dave and Katie. Andrew bought and set up a huge fish tank in the boy’s room. We bought seven fish, but one died already. (We had a proper service for him in the toilet.) The boy’s room will have a fishing cabin theme to it. We’re using all Andrew’s old deco from when he was younger. It’ll look really nice. He has fishing nets in there, and I think they were used because Brownie tries to eat them.
I think Brownie feels at home, too. She has her own little seat in front of the window. She sits on the table used for a TV stand, and watches all day long. Oh, I don’t think I have any pictures of her either.
We’re getting very anxious to meet our boy! He keeps kicking me and I can watch my whole belly shift around. Andrew and I were talking about hunting today, and the whole time, it felt like he was jumping around. When the conversation was over, so was the jumping. Seems like he can’t wait for all those hunting trips!
