Labor of Love

I just have to say that mom's and step dad's are just so wonderful to have! They came out this weekend to visit, and to help us out with some yard work. My back has been killing me, and David breaks out with itchy patches when he's out in the yard during the spring season, so they came and cleared out all our weeds. Our yard looks FABULOUS!

BEFORE....
(I'm embarrassed to even post this picture since we let it get this bad!)

Here is my mom lookin' cute doin' yard work.

AFTER!!

Here is our backyard, lookin' brand spankin new like it did when we first moved in. Thanks for all your hard work Mom and Mike!

Gettin' bigger by the minute!


Here I am, 24 weeks pregnant (so just about 6 months along, according to "What to Expect When You're Expecting"). For me, all is well and it seems like I'm getting bigger everyday. I finally had to give in and buy some maternity clothes, my shirts and most jeans just weren't working for me to squeeze into anymore. From what I've read, this is my last month feeling energized before I enter my third trimester, so I am trying to get as much done as I can. As for the baby, he moves around A LOT, and oh man, is this little guy getting stronger everyday! You can now see my belly move when he's kicking or punching. He really moves when I eat something spicy....not sure if that means he likes it or not, but Mommy sure does enjoy! :)

We are beginning to get things ready for the nursery, we bought the crib, have started to clear out boxes (we still haven't unpacked everything since the move....) and David sanded and re-painted my old dresser to match the crib. Still to go, we have to sand and re-paint this cabinet thing that is a perfect height to use for a changing table, plus it has some handy storage for baby stuff. I think we're in good shape considering we have 3 months still to go!
