Can I brag just a little bit?

October 19, 2008

I feel a strong need to brag about my husband today.  Keep in mind we both work long weeks, and have a minimum 45 minute drive to and from work 5 days a week on top of that.  Add in weekly childbirth classes, shopping for registry items, doctors visits, etc... and our work week is very tiring for both of us.  So, of course I feel like being lazy all weekend - if I could get away with it.  What does Blair do???

Let's see, this weekend involved making me breakfast, going to get a truckload of firewood so that we are now stocked up for the winter (which includes loading and unloading the truck), working on his Halloween display, putting the dresser in the nursery, installing a chandelier in the nursery, and installing new wood blinds in the nursery.   And, it's only 1 pm on Sunday.  We plan on going to Apple Hill this afternoon for somefresh produce and yummy apple juice.

I am so very fortunate and blessed to have a hard working husband.  Especially when all I feel like doing is laying on the couch and watch my belly move every time Scarlett does somersaults!!!  The nursery is about 3/4 of the way done.  The crib is assembled, and the furniture is in place.  Now I just need to figure out how I'm going to organize all the baby stuff we're going to need.  I think the sage green walls and the dark wood furniture look fantastic!  I want to get some soft yellow curtains for the closet, and Blair plans on making a bookself with cubby holes in it, painted yellow.  Hopefully I can figure out how to add pictures to these posts, and I'll take some shots of the room.

Can you believe... I start my third trimester this week!  AACK!!!  Do we want to take a poll?  Let's see... how about betting on what day Scarlett decides to grace us with her presence?  My due date is January 14th, and because we know exactly when we conceived, it's an accurate "due date", if that helps you.  But, it can happen 2-3 weeks prior and still be considered full term.  Also, a lot of 1st time mommies go past their due date.  So, it's anybody's guess.  Let me know your date choice!!!

Right now, I plan on working until two weeks prior to the due date, with my last day being December 31st.
