39 Weeks...1 weeek to go!

Today I am officially 39 weeks prego! Brooklyn and Easton both came 5 days early...please baby come early! I haven't felt much happening besides some braxton hicks(hard tense stomach). It is hard to sleep...he likes to kick my ribs at night. I think I will start to do some walking this week! Maybe I can get something to start...

I have been working on getting my To-Do List Done before the baby comes. So far...

1. Brooklyn blanket sewed together! Done... just need to still cut.
2. Christmas gifts made and wrapped for family members...Done and Done!
3. Baby Clothes, swing, bouncer, carseat, bassinet all washed and ready...Done, done, done!
4. Christmas bought for the kids...Done! Thanks to eBay and other online websites!
5. Storage Room cleaned out and yard sale! Done!!!!
6. Temple Trip..Done!
7. Transferring all our MiniDV home Videos to DVD...DONE! I transferred almost 40 tapes to DVD...it was very time consuming but fun to watch the kiddos when they were young! (A little advice...don't ever watch labor videos before you have a baby...I am alittle scared now!)
8. Clean, Clean, Clean the house...Still have to work on this. Today hopefully!
9. Overnight trip with Eric to spend time together! Done...Thanks to SuSu and Val!
10. Get a pedicure...Not done...maybe tomorrow!

Eric's has been VERY busy installing a wood stove in our house...it has become a bigger project than expected...I guess that is how life goes. At least we will have a warm house for the new baby! And Eric has been busy replacing the transmission in our van for the second time. Caravans are not easy to work on...I feel bad for him. He has been working, working and working...usually from 6am till 10pm! And to top it off he has been helping me clean my job because it is too hard to clean for 2-3 hours straight. So I do some and he then he finishes. Hopefully life will slow down a bit when the baby comes...so he can enjoy the baby too!

Soccer ended on Saturday...one less thing to do each week. The kids had a great season. Brooklyn loved being goalie. Easton loved defending his goal as well but also loved to make goals.


Stay tuned...hopefully the next post will be pictures of our new little boy!

  5. Look at you go! My list is NEVER ENDING!!!! I'm usually so on top of everything, but I'm dragging butt lately. I need to step it up. If you can do it and 9 months preggo, then I have NO excuse. Can't wait to hear your delivery story and see your cute little guy!
