35 Weeks...35 Days...

So here I am at 35 weeks...which means there are only 35 days left. Just a little over a month...on Friday it will be exactly a month until my due date. I know I say this every week, but I can't believe it! Time is flying so fast!

For REAL ONLY 35 DAYS!! I can't wait to find out who this little one is and what they look like. It is so exciting and a tad bit scary at the same time. My parents are leaving on a cruise of the Panama Canal on Thursday and won't be back until the 9th. So I have been told I am not allowed to have the baby until at least the night of the 9th. So we'll see. I am hoping to make it to the week of the 18th...but only time will tell (oh and the ultrasound that I am having on the 1st might tell us a little bit better too) So stay tuned!

The good news is, my wonderful parents came down for the day yesterday while Jimmy was at work and helped me paint. We painted the entire basement (minus the bathroom) - molding, doors, ceiling, walls and all. And if I do say so myself it looks freaking awesome!! Here are 2 pictures of it, the first one is the only decent one I have here with me, the 2nd one is what all the remaining pictures looked like...don't know why my camera got all funky with those, but you can still get the jist.

So now all there is is about an evenings worth of touch ups (the kind you don't notice until everything is dry and you are out of the "I have been painting for 4 hours" induced haze) and then we are ready for carpet baby!! I can't wait until the carpet gets in and we can actually spend time down there...I can set up the pack & play crib down there and we can rest easy that the hard part is all done before the baby gets here. Joy o JOY!

Oh, then there is the purchasing of the sectional couch we want. Not sure when that is going to happen money wise...but we'll see. I am sure Jimmy will be all over getting the couch once his big TV is up and on the wall :)

We are not rushing on the bathroom, since there is only the 2 of us in the house all we really need is the one full bath upstairs to survive. So maybe a little every weekend until the baby comes we will chip away at the bathroom. It shouldn't take us too long to finish, we just have to prime, paint, put in the flooring, put in the sink and toilet too. And it is such a small space it could be done in a day, but we'll see. The part that is going to take a long while is tiling of the shower. But there is no hurry for that.

So that is my excitement from the weekend.

Adios :)
