Fun times...

Nothing really exciting to report. Just thought I'd post a quick note about happenings this week. Jimmy has been home since Sunday and it's been such a relief! He's cleared out the garage so we can park in it again. He's been doing laundry, cooking dinner and cleaning dishes too. I really love that man! And to top it all off, he spent yesterday organizing Riley's room. He unpacked all of the packages from the baby shower last weekend and other things I've collected over the last few months. He went through ALL of the clothes and organized them. Now, all I need to do is wash them all and then put them away. He hung the wall art we received on the wall and put together the cradle swing and gym mat. After all of that, he joined me and some of my friends from school after work for a couple of games of bowling. He even let me bowl a few frames just for fun although I think he was scared out of his mind that I'd fall or go into labor. I'm really, really happy he's home.

Riley and I are doing well. She's obviously growing quickly and has less room to move around. Her kicks and/or punches have become more squirming and crawling around these days, although I still get an occasional kick here and there. My weight fluctuates day to day. I just hope it stays steady so the doctor doesn't lecture me. My ligaments in my pelvic area are really stretching now. I waddle ALL the time and have a really hard time at night trying to sleep. Every time I try to turn to a different side, the pain is awful. I have to hold my breath when I bend over and have Jimmy help me off the couch most times. Yeesh. And I've still got a little over 10 weeks to go. Very scary thought.

Tomorrow, I plan to wash some of Riley's clothes so I can put them away in her new dresser and also put my own touch on organizing her room before the baby shower on Sunday. I know that everyone is going to want to take a peek at the nursery and see what we've done with it. So much fun! I hope to go by Jimmy's sister's house next week to get the crib. I can't wait to see it all set up with the safari-themed bedding we received.
