Only 8 Weeks left (hopefully)

So We are at 32 weeks along now. Or 8 months. How exciting. We have gotten pretty much everything ready for Brandon's arrival. I think if he were to arrive now we would be able to get by with everything we have. So that makes me feel good. not that he is coming quite yet, but ya never know.

So last weekend I had my last two baby showers. Brandon got Lots of nice stuff for his Nursary and for him to wear and play with. I had such a great time at both showers and want to thank my friends Jessie and Kelly along with my cousins, Kristin, Amy and Candace for throwing those showers for me. They were a great time.

We ended up with enough money in gift cards after the showers to get the Stroller/Car seat set, and our changing table that I really wanted, along with some more onesies and sleepers. Everything is coming together quite nicley.

As far as his room goes. Jason has gotten all the painting done now, which is a huge relife. Now all we need to do is go get the chair rail we are putting up between the two colors. I was gonna post some pictures but I haven't gotten around yet to taking some of the 1/2 finished room.

This week is Thanksgiving, I have the day off however Jason will be working (double time baby, YAY) so anyway, We decided to just do a little thanksgiving of our own for the night. So when he gets off work we are planning on deep frying a (chicken) i think not a turkey. ha ha.. and making all the fixings, It willprobably be a late dinner but it's ok. We will have fun.

I have been sick this week with a bad sinus infection. I was really hoping it would hold off enough to not get in the way of my showers and it seems to have done just that. It hit me on Sunday night (even though I knew it was coming for a day or so before that) and I have been dealing with that for the past few days. NOt fun. We did have our 32 week appointment on Monday so the doc was able to put me on the Zpack they call it. Which is supposed to help me get rid of this infection. Other than that the 32 week appointment was pretty normal. In and out. Brandon's heartbeat is still around the 140's so thats good. Now we are at the point where we go into the doc every two weeks, then in the last month we will go every week. So that is exciting knowing we are that close to his arrival.

We are getting more and more excited as each day goes on for Brandon to arrive. It is gonna be such a fun experiance and I can't wait for it.

My leave from work starts on December 18th, so I only have a few more weeks of working left then I am off for 4 months. I can't wait. Work is getting harder and harder to do as it used to be just the sitting made my back hurt a lot but now the sitting the standing the walking the stress, the everything makes me ach. By the end of the evenings I am all worn out and Really ready for bed. So it will be nice to relax in a few weeks when I can put work behind me for a while and just think about Brandon and Jason. My precious little family.

We hope everyone has a Wonderful Thanksgiving and Be safe.

Till next time.

7 Months Along

Well, we are a little over 7 months along now. 29 weeks to be exact. Things are going pretty good. I have had some back pain I have been dealing with most evenings. Latley It doesnt really matter what I am doing, I still have this pain in my back. But Oh well.. not too much I can do about it.

Not really too much is new. Jason has got the first coat of brown on the baby room now, and hopefully will have the second coat done by maybe the end of this week. It is really starting to look pretty cute.

I did have my first shower last weekend. It was a lot of fun and I thank my aunt cindy and cousin Nikki for throwing it for me. Brandon got lots of cute stuff, bouncy seats, rattles, musical gyms, and lots of hooded towels and onesies. I can't wait now to dress him and bath him and all that fun stuff.

I have two more showers in November, One is being thrown by my friends Jessie and Kelly, and the other is for the Drangstveit side of the family thrown by my cousins Amy, Candy and Kristin. They both should be a great time.

We are getting more exiceted for the Holidays to come, as we will be able (with doc approval of couse,) make it to Aberdeen for christmas this year. hopefully we will be able to stay about 4 or 5 days this time. I think we do plan on driving. But of course we do need to talk to the doc about that first. So we'll see.

Well, only about 76 or so more days to go.. so hopefully the time passes by quickly.

Bye Bye now...
