34 Weeks!

I figured it's been a while since our last post, so this one's a conglomeration of updates on life since the last post...

First, I'm officially 34 weeks and 1 day today. I had an appointment yesterday and everything seems to continue to be fine. Honestly, I don't have many complaints. I think he's starting to run out of room in there, though, so he finds my ribs a lot more frequently... Here's a picture of the belly as of now:

Second, we finished our guest room (which Shane now lovingly refers to as the mother-in-law suite). It's a little small, but we hope it will make our guests feel welcome:

Shane and Tom started our winter lawn last week. Don't know what a winter lawn is? Neither did I until I moved here. You see, the grass that somehow survives the summer months can't stand the "cold" of Arizona winter...so you mow down your summer lawn to the dirt and spread winter grass seed over the yard. A few days later, it begins to sprout. Ours is still a little patchy in spots, but it's fun to see how fast the grass grows.

The temperature stayed in the 60s all day today! This is a welcome break from the 90+ degree weather we've been having this month. We slept with our window open a crack last night and the room got down to 73 degrees without the AC kicking on! I celebrated today by wearing a short-sleeved dress...and smiling to myself at all the people in sweatshirts and coats. It's nice to not be hot all the time for a change!

I only have 3.5 more weeks until I go on my leave. It's crazy to think that's all I have left. Luckily I've ended up on fairly smooth running projects so I think I should be able to tie up all my loose ends and go on a real, uninterrupted leave!

Hmm...that's everything I can think of for updates as of now. It seems like all our time and energy currently goes toward preparing for this baby in some way, so sorry if the blog has gotten a littly baby-centric. That's all for now!
