And so the countdown begins! I feel like I never blog anymore, and frankly I shouldn't be spending time on this right now. Because I need to touch up the paint around the back door since I begged my husband to go out to the dark shed to get the can of paint out. I'm at that phase, the one where you clean constantly...and like to make things look nice again! I'm already a neat freak, and if we haven't vacuumed in 2 days I freak out (we have pets & a kid...it just NEEDS to happen) So it began on Monday when I got off of work. I sent Travis & Corbin to Lowes, and I tackled the living room. I steam cleaned the carpet and the whole time contemplated tearing it up and getting rid of it. I hate carpet!!! Why, WHY did we go back with carpet?! Maybe because we didn't know better...or because I was 9 months pregnant with Corbin & we were ready to be in our house...something like that.

So I've been cleaning. Living room, hallway & my office steam cleaned. And it looks SOOOO much better. I REALLY need to buy that throw rug I contemplate everytime I'm at WalMart or Target for the back door...it'll really help with these stinkin dogs on rainy days. Which we get a lot of lately!
Speaking of rainy days...We decided to buy Corbin a trampoline for the backyard. We assembled it in the rain, and he LOVES it. It's incentive for him to be good, to go potty, you name it. No potty, no jump.

 

 

 

Other than that, I feel like this pregnancy has flown by. Probably because I'm working full time, have a toddler, Oh, and did I mention the master bathroom that we're redoing!? Travis is in the finishing touches of sanding/texturing and we ordered our cabinets/granite & tile this week. As well as new windows. We're (Travis) is a big DIY person, BUT we decided to subcontract some...most stuff! Custom cabinets w/ granite...windows...and the seamless glass for the shower. I'm so excited to see the outcome.

 

 

Really no complaints this pregnancy though. I had a few weeks of some pretty intense heartburn, but that seems to have subsided. I go to the doc every 2 wks now, and so far so good. She's SUPER active, mainly at night...oh joy! And it's hilarious when a bony prominence of hers pokes out. It's super distracting too at times!

 

 

So we have our baby shower this weekend. I'm SUPER excited. We will get to see a lot of our family & friends to celebrate this sweet girl. Her nusery is coming right along. We will see what all we receive at the shower this wknd and then complete it up and just wait patiently for July 18th!

 



 



Before church. The look on little man's face...priceless!

I found some super cute shirts that were plenty long enough to suffice as maternity without being true "maternity" clothes. Considering this is our last kiddo, I didn't see the want/need to invest in any kind of maternity shirt for $30! NO way.

 

FINALLY finished her letters for over her bed! I really hate painting. Esp. the nooks & crannies. But I'm almost finished painting the bow holder frame, and then that should be it for the painting for a while (unless I decide to touch up all the paint in the house) haha.

 

 

So, cravings? Meh...nothing particular. Some nights I sleep better than others, it's kinda hard with someone kung-fu'ing you all night. We took Corbin to splashway waterpark last weekend kind of as our "last outing" as a family of 3. I won't be able to travel much in just a few weeks, and between working weekends and being busy...we wanted to & so we did it!

 

My parents bought a house here in Victoria, so they close this Friday (YAY!) So we will be helping them move & get settled.

 

Guess that's about all for now, until next time...
