So I have three and a half weeks left till my due date, but last Friday when I went into see my Midwife she said that the baby is fully engaged and rather deeply engaged. She said I could have her any day or go all the way to my due date, I am hoping to make it at least another week then she will be closer to six and a half pounds but wouldn't mind going until Brody is out of school on the 9th. We will just have to wait and see!! SO anyway that last Friday that I went to see my Midwife Bryce and I had put the boys to bed and were laying in bed talking when I started to feel crampy and gradually got stronger until I knew it was full blown contractions. They were pretty strong and were coming at about two minutes apart, so I tried to relax and think past the pain and I managed to dose off. When I woke up around two a.m. I decided to start getting things ready to go cause this just might be it. I ran around the house finding the video camera and camera and various chargers and packing my bag to go. Then I decided to finish some sewing I had started and by five a.m. I was so excited that I had completely blocked the pain until I sat down long enough to realize that there was no more pain!!!! So off to bed I went, at least it was a good practice run and I'm sure it did a bit of dilating so maybe when the real thing happens it wont be so long!! Anyway I have some good contractions here and there but am still waiting and trying to finish a few more little projects!!!
So here is another nesting project that had to be done before baby comes, my wood floors!!!! They are so beautiful, I love them and it's so nice to finally be rid of the nasty carpet in our dinning room, I mean really, who puts carpet in a dinning room? The boys love the floors too cause they can have sock races all the way down the hallway!! My house looks complete inside now, no more holes in the flooring or walls needing to be finished, it's all done. Some other crazy projects I have done are rearranging our bedroom and painting the wall that the bed is on, it looks so nice and then I got a wild hair since Allan (one of our workers, he did the floors for us) had all the saws set up on the back patio and the nail gun in the house I thought that I would take the opportunity to rip apart our closet and redesign the layout. So I did and Allan did an awesome job helping me redo it and make it much more functional!! I have been crazy busy and cant wait to have this little baby, maybe then I will come off of this nesting high!!!











So I have really gone off the deep end with this whole nesting instinct!! I was feeling bad that I did such cute and fun things to Settelly's room and the boys had just the run of the mill bland room. So I took the boys to town and had them choose a blue for their room, earlier that day Kale and I ran up to Tigard to buy a set of bunk beds we had found new on Craigslist. That evening I set to work taking apart their old beds and moving all their stuff out of the room. The boys camped out in Settelly's room for the night and actually didn't mind one bit!! By the next morning I was slinging paint and by late morning Kale and I were assembling the bunk beds. The room was all back together that afternoon and it is so cute, the boys just love it. Of course then they had to decide who got the top bunk, so I told them to take turns sleeping up there. The first two nights they both slept on top and then by the third Brody decided that he liked being on the bottom. A lot simpler than I had expected!!!
