Basement

Not that you can tell what anything is from the pictures, but the basement is coming along. Drywall gets hung today, mudded later in the week! Yeah. Nothing fancy in the basement. Just finished space to use and entertain. There will be a small room to use as a guest bedroom and as a office/exercise room when there is no one staying. It'll be nice for both us and them for guests to have their own area with a bathroom while they stay.

Graduation Day

Hard to believe another school year has come to a close. I'm pretty happy, as I wasn't too excited about their teacher this year. Done with the daily driving. Just a small break before life takes another turn. I was dilated 1-2 last week, we'll see what I am tomorrow. It's getting really exciting for this household. Maya and Brennan are really enjoying looking at other babies right now. It will be interesting to see their reactions when there is one in the house for good. It's kinda funny, cuz it doesn't seem real yet that this change is so close, although all our bags are packed and ready for anything. There is no plan set in stone as of yet, so that too will be interesting. I'm hoping that if a surprise happens it is in the daylight hours to have more options with friends and family and their work schedules. We are so excited to meet our little man. I stare at everybody's newborns on the street and can't stop smiling that mine will be here soon. I thought his name was 100% ready, although it appears that a middle name has not been agreed on. Adam's headed for a Cub/Dodger game this friday... I told him if he's not here when I go into labor the middle name choice is all mine.
Today we spent the afternoon at our neighbors for a BBQ. Even with yucky weather, a good time was had by all. We certainly couldn't ask for a better neighborhood.

Sleepless in Washington

We've had a busy couple weeks and we've had a lot of soccer rainouts. I've been working like a maddog and Adam just got laidoff this week. So things are just crazy! Kids are finished with shool next week, thank goodness. I am done with the taxi driving.
Mother's Day last weekend was great. We took the kids minature golfing. It was somewhat fun. I got whacked in the elbow by Maya, but it was nice to be outside doing something new together. Adam made me a wonderful slideshow of pictures of me and my babies throughout the past 5 years. If you haven't seen it, check out my facebook page... it's awesome.
I've been meeting up with some high school friends planning a 15 year class reunion. Finding people seems more troublesome than what I thought it would be, but again, usually I'm am trying to find time to squeeze in some people investigation.
So I'm 35.5 weeks prego now. Feeling pretty good, yet my hips are killing me at night. I've had some contractions the last few weeks, but none that are actually painful. It just makes me realize how soon the baby is coming. Tuesday is my first internal exam, so we'll see if anything is going on.
Our basement is coming along. Slowly, but surely. Hopefully sometime we'll have the extra space ready to destroy in June. It'll be nice, especially since we'll have extra visitors from time to time with baby Gurewitz. He does have a name and his room is finished! Guess I should get some pictures up. We are all getting pretty excited!!
As for Adam, his last day was officially yesterday. It wasn't a shock, it was more a blessing that he held on this long. Close enough to summer and the new baby. I'm sure him being around will come in handy. Hopefully a new opportunity will come his way soon, so don't worry we are okay and fine. There are a lot of other people in the same situation and a lot of those people are off a far lot worse than us. It's all unknown what could happen at this point, but we know things happen for a reason.
Anyhow, enjoy the pictures. It won't be long and there will be a wrinkly little man all over this thing.
