One Year Anniversary and 31 weeks

This is a little late because I haven't had access to the internet for a couple days.  June 4th was our one year anniversary!  I love you Matt!  Even though you don't read my blog...

One year ago we were doing this:

and here I am now, at 31 weeks. 

This is one of the things I borrowed from Jill.  I got a lot of compliments when I wore it to work.  I also got a lot of "wow you really ARE pregnant!" and other weight comments.  However, I'm still thinner than 80% of the people at work.  So I think I win.

     Only 2 more months and our family will grow!  Holy cow, two months is nothing. Cross your fingers that he comes on time or perhaps a couple days early; but not until after July 28^th because we have a wedding.  I’m sure he’s worried about what’s convenient for me. 

     On Monday most of my fabric came in!  The elephant fabric is a bigger print than I expected; that’s what I get for not looking harder.  It will still work though, who am I trying to impress?  The polka dot fabric is on back-order.  The curtain fabric is perfect!  I’m not sure if it will work to make napkins out of it; I might have to choose another coordinating fabric.  Now all I have to do is get everything moved in and I can work on the nursery and dining room. Well actually the townhouse isn't finished yet, so again, cross your fingers.  We might be staying at my parent's for a little while.

     Last night I had a dream that the baby was born.  It was a really fast, painless labor.  It was so fast that Matt just went out of the room for a second and bam!  baby was there.  I hadn't been paying attention (???) so I was disappointed that I missed the birth of my child.  He had lots of straight dark hair, dark eyes and looked about 3 months old.  Plus we forgot to pack our hospital bag.  Dreams are so weird.

Starchy Lives

     Matt is weird, and likes to leave dead bugs around to "warn off all others who dare to enter."  I think that's code for being lazy.  So for the past few days I kept looking at the cup to see if he had cleaned it up yet, and of course he hadn't.  But then I started realizing that the spider wasn't always in the same place.  So I took a peek  and Starchy was STILL ALIVE .  That little bastard is resilient.  I'll make Matt take care of him so he doesn't suffer anymore but I swear he was dead a few days ago.  Maybe he is a zombie spider.

     Today I made a cake for my mom's birthday.  I cheated and used a mix because all of the lemon cake recipes I found looked complicated and it normally takes me twice as long as a normal person to finish a recipe.  I did decide to make my own frosting though.  I was going to do lemon butter cream but I forgot to buy a lemon.  I didn't feel like going back to the store so I just eliminated it and my frosting ended up being too dry.  It looked pretty horrible on the cake, but everyone said it still tasted good.  I don't make cakes very often, I'll have to practice making them pretty!  Michelle made sides and dad grilled chicken and pork.  If it wasn't for dad I would be SO barbecue deprived right now.  Matt doesn't really have time for it these days :(  

     Yesterday I went shopping with Emilee because she was in town picking out her wedding flowers.  I went to Carters again and only spent $9 and got 12 articles of clothing because my MIL and her sister earned a bunch of coupons for their shopping spree.  Score!  Jill's baby is 4 months and already wearing some 9 month clothing, so now I'm paranoid and only buying 6 and 9 month clothing until he is born and we see how he grows.  Plus cloth diapers are more bulky than 'sposies so Adrian will need bigger pants. I miss living in the same town as my friends.  However, living an hour away is preferable to being 6 hours away or across the country.  So I'll count my blessings.

     Next Sunday we will be in our new place!  We have a lot of packing to do and the townhouse might not be done in time.  Cross your fingers.
