Belly Status – 30 Weeks

I’m actually 31 weeks this week… but these pictures are from last week.  I stopped at my Mom’s house and we had some fun…

My poor husband and his rough rugged hands, but I love them!  You would never know that he has a desk job!  I think this is why she had to convert it to black & white… to hide all the scars.  You can’t see Jesse’s thumbs in this picture but I always give him a hard time about them.  To me they just look funny and not normal… I so can’t wait to see if Blueberry has his thumbs!! 

If you have ever stopped over at my Mom’s blog you’ll see she has to take everyone’s picture on top of this dresser.  Except it is usually babies and toddlers.  I guess this is Blueberry’s ‘before’ picture and she’ll get the ‘after’ when she arrives! 

In a few more days I will have exactly 2 months left… give or take if she decides to come early or late.  2 months!  That is just unbelievable to me.

Every where I go people notice now!  Strangers love to tell me their horrible birthing stories!  I need to find a shirt that says… I only want to hear the good labor stories!  They want to know what I am having, if I picked out a name, when am I due.  No one has touched my belly though!  I have been waiting for that – but that hasn’t happened yet.  Oh and we when we go out for supper they like to say “A table for 2… and 1/2.” 

I even had one lady try to tell me how to name my baby!  She wanted to know what my Grandma’s name was and what Jesse’s Grandma’s name was and then put the two name together and create your own unique name.  That’s what she did for her little girl. 

Then we went out for breakfast on Sunday morning after church I ordered a Belgian waffle with blueberries & cool whip.  It was huge!  It was yummy!  And a waitress walked by and she says “Now you are feeding that baby right!”

It just makes me giggle how strangers love to see a pregnant belly!

Getting so close!

Jesse and Jerry finished up the electrical and plumbing yesterday!!  Whooohooo!!  You have no idea how excited we are about this being finished!  And you have no idea how many times I heard “It is so nice to have that part finished.”  Jesse must of said it a hundred times last night!

Steph – you get your husband back!  : )  Thanks for letting us have him a couple days!!! 

The shower is plumbed in!  The decking is put back in! 

Light switches are installed!  Electrical outlets are in!  Now, check out that funky switch on the left.  I had to ask Jesse what the heck this was for… you want to know?!!  It is for our exhaust fan – they put it on a timer!!  1min, 5min, 15min, and 30min.  Now is that a guy thing or what?!

Bathroom Update

There has been some behind the scenes work on the bathroom.  Important stuff.  Moving heat.  Putting in electrical.  Plumbing.

I don’t think Jesse and I realized just how long it takes to do those things.  As it is still not finished and we are being told just one more day of work and we’ll have it all done.  Then we can get Mike, the carpenter, back in here to finish it off!!  I am so ready for this bathroom to be put back together and to have the rest of our basement put back together.  I don’t know if I hit the nesting stage or what… but I am ready for an organized, functional house again. 

They put some of these in… which I think are electrical outlets.

Some more electrical outlets… I think.

And plumbing!!

Hopefully we’ll be up and running and putting the house back together before May!!  That’s my dream anyways…
