Weekend update

This weekend I spent some time getting our house ready for the big weekend. What's the big weekend? That is when both my family and Justin's family are all coming to Phoenix in November. My family is coming for the WSU game and Justin's family is coming for a Thanksgiving visit.

We are very excited to have everyone here at once. I have some fall decorations out (our scarecrow) and I bought some supplies for little Charlie (wipes and baby wash). I also made our guest beds and have started deep cleaning.

I know that you want to see our little nursery. Well, here it is.

I coordinated to match the nursery. :) You can see my baby bump in this picture. I guess that I don't look as huge as I feel. We are looking for Frog Wallies to decorate the walls, we don't want to stencil since that would be more work when we move someday.

Another thing that happened this weekend was the hot air balloon festival. We had the Wendy's hot air ballon fly over our house. You can also see our cactus in this picture.

The balloons made the dogs go nuts. I heard on the radio it's the sound of the hot air that makes a high pitched noise only the dogs can hear.

Speaking of our dogs, they are Piper

and Rocky

They can be mellow when they want to be:

Notice the dog bed under the table, they prefer to each sit in a chair, sometimes they sit in the same chair together.

We are working on training them, this is "let me take your picture"

They each are about 16 pounds and are a lot of fun. Rocky is a jumper, he can jump about 4 feet in the air. Piper likes to sit on your lap. Rocky will lick your face if you let him.

The picture above also shows our new dining room floor. Justin installed the floor a few weeks ago. Pretty nice.

Football gear

Well It's football season and once again, we are cheering for our favorites. I support the Seahawks, Justin the Patriots. He still cheers for the Seahawks, but wears the Patriots jersey. We got these jerseys so we could be true super fans!

We are not sure what team baby finnegan will be routing for, but I am sure that he will like football.

On a side note, Jeannette - I figured out how to upload the photos! I am pretty proud. :)

Life being pregnant

I know I haven't been giving updates to everyone, so I will give everyone an update all at once.
Being pregnant so far has been good to me. I didn't get sick in the first trimester, just felt nauseous a lot. The good news is, the doctor said I could take dramamine. So whenever I didn't feel good, I would just take one of those. It helped alot.

Now it's the second trimester and things are different. I am at 25 weeks right now. That is 6 months pregnant. The last week my belly has gotten huge. In fact, at the end of the day it feels like I did some sit-ups, but we know that's not true. The other thing that has happened is some of the maternity clothes don't fit now, I am too busty. It's a shame.

Speaking of Busty - I had to Order a maternity bra online - they don't carry them this big in the store. That is out of control. I won't mention the size, but I think I passed Meegan. :)

For the most part, I haven't had any big issues being pregnant. I have learned that heartburn is a way of life and the fruit flavored tums are a lifesaver. Another ache is my back. I asked the doctor about it, and she said "Welcome to Pregnancy." She suggested I get a massage. It was relaxing, but the back still hurts. I guess there is not a miracle cure.

We have decorated the nursery with Green and Frogs. Justin put the crib together and we ordered a rocking chair. It's really coming together.
I have also got a bit of a pregnancy waddle. Someone at work said that seeing me waddle makes them feel pregnant. I am sure I am quite a site. :)

3 1/2 months to go and then our little baby will be here. We can't wait to meet him.
