31 Weeks and Still Cuttin’ It

For those of you that actually keep up with the blog… sorry it’s been a while. We’ve been hard at work on the new addition to our home… “The Garage Room.” What started out as a “storage” room has turned into almost a $1000 room. I guess considering the room was formerly part of the garage $1000 really isn’t that much to spend to have a nice finished room. BUT, it still is a lot of money and when all is said and done who knows how much we will have spent. All things considered, the room has turned out quite nice and is storing things beautifully ;-)

Most of you know me well and know that I can’t just sit around while construction is going on around me… I have to take part. Well, although I can’t quite bend and move like I used to, I still insisted on constructing as much as possible. This is a picture of me doing a little sawing… don’t worry, I plugged Ethan’s ears, while I was building this frame for a screen. You didn’t know I was carpenter, did you??

The 3^rd trimester is going well. I’m still feeling pretty good. I’m trying hard to stay active, but everything I do seems to make me miserably sore. What’s with that?!? I get sore from sitting these days! Ethan does a lot of pushing and kicking and then more pushing. I think he’s a little upset with the shortage of space... (something that apparently makes us both VERY uncomfortable). I did find out that he takes after his dad and has a love for chocolate. This week after eating a couple Oreo cookies, Ethan started doing back flips. And everyday this week he’s gone pretty crazy after I’ve eaten a couple cookies. It’s hilarious! Bryan enjoys watching my stomach jump and is amazed at how pronounced the thumps and pushes are. We are looking forward to being able to make out a hand or foot print. In fact, he’s doing a little boxing on my belly as we speak. I think he’s already working on his karate techniques ;-)
