I thought I would contribute since it literally has been FOREVER since I last posted. Brent and I fared quite well this toasty summer weekend where it hit tripple digits as our portable AC unit arrived just in the nick of time. We ordered it last weekend and it arrived on Thursday for which we or I was very greatful for since my thermostat is running a little high these days. We use it in out bedroom so we can sleep comfortably.
It is kind of ironic since when we chose not to get the central AC upgrade for this house last year and I remember joking that I would probably end up being 9 months prego in the month of August here. Oh well.
My pregnancy is not too bad with the exception of the low back/sacroiliac pain that comes and goes depending on my activities. The ankle swelling is a joy but drinking LOTS of water seems to help. Working 10 hour days is getting tiring but I still enjoy what I do and my co-workers are very supportive.
As some of you can imagine as I am already a nesting type person, that urge is definitely in full swing here at home. I did seem to catch the perfect husband for someone like me as Brent thrives on getting projects done and always seems to be willing to participate in whatever project I plan around the house... baby room, painting other areas of the house, changing window treatments, etc. Boy am I a lucky girl!!!
I have been thinking about a lot of you guys lately with all of the exciting things happening in your lives... Marnie with school starting again, Tom and family's move, Mike and Brooke's move, Kim and Trevon's baby being due soon (yes I am jealous you are that much closer Kim). And Brooke, I doubt it will happen but if you guys get here by July 12th you are invited to the baby shower which will be at Barb's and which your mom and sister were invited. Just FYI.
Anyway, happy July 4th a little early to all. I am thinking of it right now as I hear fireworks go off in the distance out my office window. It still seems so odd since growing up in San Diego it was illegal. My opinion which doesn't matter much is that it is a waste of money and slightly, no really risky... no offence to all in the family who have partaken in this festivity.
Well, I wish all of you well and am thinking of you.
