hating gravity

I am so ready to have this baby. If it weren't for gravity, I wouldn't be so impatient. I feel fine sitting down, but walking around is kind of a pain...I feel like I have to hold my stomach to keep Kyle from falling out! Depending on which date I go by, he should be making his appearance in 1 1/2 to 3 weeks.

80's memories

I visited the 80's Tees website that I found out about by reading Josh's blog ... and I found the above items. I have a Funshine Care Bear (packed away somewhere), and my first lunchbox was Rainbow Brite. I don't even remember what the Rainbow Brite tv show was about...I just remember having a pair of socks just like hers. I guess I'll have to wiki her to jog my memory!

full term

well, i had a prenatal appt. today (they are weekly now), and the dr. told me that I am now full term, and if I were to go into labor, they wouldn't do anything to stop it...so I guess that means we need to make sure we are ready for Kyle Austin...suitcase packed, going home outfit picked out, etc. I also want to make sure the house is clean so that I have one less thing to worry about when we bring the baby home. Josh has been extremely helpful around the house...doing dishes, laundry, vacuuming, you name it. My husband's pretty awesome!

the claw

I was shopping for birthday presents for my husband the other day when I came across The Claw! It was actually my two year old son who saw it first...and of course he wanted it, but we were shopping for daddy. But then, the more I thought about it, this would be the perfect gift for Josh b/c he has often tried to win something for me or Justin on these machines (sometimes succeeding), but then I complain that it's a waste of money. I know it's the challenge of the game that he likes...not the cheap toy that he tries to pick up...SOOO, the claw became one of his birthday presents. Justin carried the box throughout Target, and then when we got home, he grabbed a key and tried to open the box (something he has seen his daddy do). I quickly put the box in a gift bag and covered it with tissue paper when Justin wasn't looking, but he found it and kept trying to open the box...so we gave the gift to Josh right away. He liked it almost as much as Justin!

failed my goal

It's been three weeks since my last post. When I started this blog, my goal was to post at least twice a week...but that obviously didn't happen! I have an excuse for one of the weeks, though. We went on a much needed vacation to the beach. It felt good to relax and not do much of anything. I even got to go the whole week without wearing socks and shoes...just bare feet and sandals (which went well with our smoothies). We got to do a lot of fun stuff with Justin this year, too, cuz he's a little boy now and a lot more active. I got some good pictures that I'll have to post eventually.

I am now recommitting to my goal...come back in a couple days, and you will see another post.
