Getting Excited!

I've hit that point in the pregnancy where I can't wait to meet our little girl!!  We are 33 1/2 weeks along.  She's growing well and moving like crazy.  I know soon enough she is going to run out of room in there, but for now she's all over the place.  My belly frequently looks as if there is an alien inside.  It is quite entertaining.  

Mom and Heather threw a shower for family and close friends 10 days ago.  THANK YOU.  It was great to see everyone.  My dear friend, Kyla, came all the way from the mountains of Idaho to celebrate with us.  And two of my oldest friends were able to join us with their moms AND daughters.  Cindy and I started kindergarten together at age 5.  Wendy joined us in first grade and then we all became Blue Birds (Camp Fire Girls) together.  No matter how long we are apart, when we get back together it is as if no time has passed - for us or our moms!  

Don and Dad are nearly finished with the renovation of the fireplace in the living room.  It looks fantastic!  I'll post a picture as soon as I can.  Don just needs to finish priming and painting the bookcases on either side of the fireplace and then we can clean up the mess :)  I'm itching to start nesting around here - but I don't dare start.  My dining room looks like Home Depot threw up in there.  Don't get me wrong, I love that my Dad has at least one of EVERY tool imaginable.  (It is very handy)  But - they are currently ALL in my dining room; in buckets, in cases, on the floor, on the furniture....  you get the picture.  This is my lenten lesson in patience.  I figure they will be done by Easter and I can then clean and call in the guys to deep clean the sofa, love seat and chair in the living room.   Just in time for Peanut's arrival.
