34 Weeks (6 weeks till the ringer goes off!)

Here we are in the last phase of pregnancy... the clock is ticking and many wonderful things are happening to our little family.

First of all, we closed on our first home last week! The house feels like home already, (although we haven't even moved in yet). We fantasize about how wonderful the house will be once we get it exactly the way we want it! Yesterday, I hired a lawn guy to come in and take care of the lawn. And we are having contractors start work on Friday to fix some safety concerns... like the loose stair banister, the loose deck railing, the missing step from the side door, a loose aluminium siding, and the missing sink base.

Second, work threw us a surprise baby shower! Wow! I feel so lucky with all my baby loot! Lots of cute little socks and cute little mittens. Folks really got us a lot of stuff off our registry... Baby's room decor is almost COMPLETE! This just makes me more excited... I can't wait to get the baby's room all set up! Manuel and I started taping up the baby's room, and last night we went to go look for paint. I'm partial to green and Daddy is partial to yellow. We also bought a carpet cleaner... Not that we really need it, but I imagine with a little one peeing/pooing/throwing up/throwing food... it will come in handy! :)

This is going to be a special weekend for me. It's baby shower weekend! My dear friend has her shower on Saturday and I have mine on Sunday. I'm looking forward to the event and all the fun stuff showers include... like the food. :) I am REALLY looking forward to the food.

Tomorrow I have my 34 week prenatal visit. I'm also going to an open house for a daycare... Kid will eventually have to go which already makes me sad to think about. I do feel relieved that I found an acceptable pediatrician in the neighborhood!

Well, life is quite busy but very very exciting! :) We are all very happy.
