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.

Baby Shower

So my sister and mom threw me a baby shower this past weekend. I had a lot of fun and it was really simple and nice. It is always so good to get together with all my friends from high school and their moms. I love knowing these girls will always be a part of my life. Everybody was so awesome and brought me the best gift ever. Diapers!! I think I got 15 packs ranging from Newborn to size 2. That's diaper service for at least 2 months. I can't remember how many babies go through in a day anymore. Just a lot of nice gifts overall. My mom made the baby a special "Dick and Jane" quilt, which is so cute. Now we just need the baby. No, now I need to get my ass in gear and make sure we are set. I'll be 33 weeks on thursday, although, in all honesty I think I'm carrying low and would be amazed if I make it to the due date. But again, I said that with both kids and ended up right on that date. Only he knows when he's ready to get pushed into this crazy world.
Sunday was crazy, cuz we had to rush to get our basement cleared up. We are getting it finished!!! The dining room is now a toyroom and random things are under our beds and crap is in the garage. Just proof that too much misc. shit was sitting downstairs. But anyhow, lines were drawn out yesterday to frame in a bedroom/exercise/computer room and a bathroom. There will be 2 other rooms, a probably family/tv room and a kiddos area. The storage area will then be sealed off which will be so nice. 8-12 week project. At least most of the major stuff should be done by the time the baby comes.
Adam was fortunate enough to have some work thrown his way at work. He's heading to Toronto, Canada the last 2 weeks of May and the 1st week of June. Of course things are always known to change, but we're excited for him. Hopefully, the baby won't make it's debut during these times. I'm kinda excited to be able to hog a bed and pillow me up without worring about him.
It has begun! Spring babies in the neighborhood have arrived in the last few days. I believe I am the next one to go! It won't be long.

62 Days and Counting

Hard to believe how close June seems these days. I ordered a baby dresser/changer last week and it came monday. Makes me happy to have something to put clothes in. Neither of the other two had a dresser as a baby. I'm hoping to pass this one off to Maya when the babe doesn't need it anymore. My sister and mom are throwing me a baby shower next weekend. I'm superexcited to see my friends come down for it. Hopefully it will be fun for all.
The weather has been beautiful. Supposed to get close to 70 today. No complaints here. The kids love being outdoors! Speaking of, they both played their first soccer game of the year wednesday. They both did so good. It was so fun to watch.
The prego picture I added was me on Easter Sunday. Whatta belly at 30 weeks.
