34 Weeks

Yes, I've skipped a week and am once again combining 2 into one post.  I can honestly say that I am finally feeling a sense of relief and am much more relaxed than I have been in weeks!  The nursery is DONE,  all clothes and bedding are washed and put away, all other major projects that were happening in the house are finished, and I can now really start to focus on other important aspects of my life like my business and ramping up for a busy summer!  I've got to revamp our website, add to the menu, do some more decorating with color in the dining room, and as always - try and stay ahead of the game :)  Not to mention I want to enjoy these last few weeks I have left as a family of three and squeeze in as much Jack and Mommy time as I can.  It still kills me to think that he will never actually remember all of the time we spend together, just hanging out and having fun all day just the two of us.  I guess as long as I do that's all that matters, probably another reason why I take so many pictures, I know one day we will look back at them together.  Anyway, other than that I'm feeling pretty great for being so pregnant.  I'm not nearly as tired as I thought I'd be, my energy level is still pretty high, and I'm not crashing in the afternoon as much as I used to. 

So for now the cookie baking marathon has come to an end, at least in mass quantities....THANK GOD!  Great for business but not for my poor thumbs!  I swear my right thumb was numb for two days post decorating.  I guess it could be worse right?!!!!  Definitely looking forward to the next show, the theater already has us on board to bake for the show Peter Pan in July!  Can't wait, especially since there wasn't a single cookie left over from this one, they SOLD OUT!!! 

In baby news, I actually go to the doctor tomorrow morning but apparently she is about the size of a cantaloup and around 17 or 18 inches long!  It's really hard to believe that I have a little over a month to go before I meet this little bugger that is constantly doing gymnastics in my belly.  It will be interesting to see how Jack reacts to her, he is well aware that there is a baby in my belly (not sure he actually understands what that means), he's always wanting to touch it and give it hugs and kisses and says "baby" constantly.  I think he will be very confused but love his little sister none the less. 

    Suddenly loving (to jump in) the crib again knowing he doesn't have to sleep in it!

This week's TOP 5:

1. Very happy to be done with the nursery and ready to fill it with an actual baby!  Just have to get some stuff like newborn diapers and lotions/baby wash....things like that.
2. We took jack to his first show, Shrek the musical and he LOVED it.  We only made it through the first half but he wouldn't take his eyes off of the stage.  After intermission all he wanted to do was run around and dance in the isles so we left so he wouldn't bother anyone else watching the show.  I was so proud of him though, he did great!

3. Super excited to have packed the high chair away until the next kid needs it!  Jack is now in a booster seat at the table with us.  It got to the point where he hated the high chair and only wanted to stand up and get out of it.  I'm happy to say the booster seat is working out WAY better and he is actually OK with us buckling him in it.
4. Going to schedule my 3D sonogram tomorrow, I never had one with Jack and am excited to get a glimpse of this baby in 3D.  I've seen others and it's amazing how accurate they can be!
5. We are all a little under the weather this week in our house, it seems there is a cold going around and for the first time we've all gotten it!  So looking forward to everyone being healthy again so we can enjoy this 60 degree weather we are supposed to get in a few days!!
