Another productive week

This past week we've gotten a little bit closer to being ready for the baby!  I finished moving all the toys to the basement while the boys were at Bible School and Saturday I cleaned out the rest of Eric's room and Jim painted the closet.  Hoping this weekend we can get the closet organizer built and then get the new carpet for the floor so we can move in the bunk beds and build the desk/bookshelves.  I am anxious to get started on the baby's room!

The boys ended their week of Bible School with a program and lunch for the parents.  Eric refused to get up front to sing with his class.  He does not like to perform in front of a group.  Jacob did get up to sing...it was so cute!  While they don't like to get up during church with the other kids to sing, they have been singing along to the CD of songs from Bible School that we were given. 

Saturday night Jim and the boys went with Dad to The Buck Motorsports Park in Quarryville.  They watched the Combine Demolition Derby.   Eric loved it and didn't want to leave at the end of the night.  Jacob, as usual, was more interested in the food....cotton candy and snow cones!

Sunday the boys and I spent the afternoon swimming, as usual and the boys helped Grandpa in the garden.  Thankfully the heatwave has broken and although it is still hot, it's not completely unbearable.  I am so ready for the fall and some cooler weather.  I would love to be able to open windows and let some fresh air in the house!

While the boys were in bible school, they erupted volcanoes.  Jacob remembered that you needed baking soda and vinegar to do the experiment, so we made our own volcanoes at home on Tuesday.  Of course, it was only about 10 seconds of fun, but they loved it!

We ordered the car seat that we picked out for the baby.  The car seat we used with Eric and Jacob had expired so we had to get a new one.  I love the owl print with the brown and blue!

How far along? 23 weeks

Maternity clothes? yep, no change here

Sleep: have been sooo tired lately.  Thinking it may have to do with my blood pressure meds, but I'm going to mention it to the doctor on Friday.

Best moment this week: Working on Eric’s room….ready for the closet organizer, carpet and bunk beds!!!

Miss Anything?  Nothing this week
Movement: Baby is moving more each week.  Jim was finally able to feel the little pops one time this week.  Still really hard to feel anything from the outside.

Food cravings: Watermelon!  Dad picked one that was ready and it was so good!

Anything making you queasy or sick: nothing this week! 
Gender:  BOY

Labor Signs: Hopefully not for a while!

 Symptoms: tired, achy

Belly Button in or out? Still in…wondering if it won’t pop all the way out with my placenta in the front???
Happy or Moody most of the time:  Depends on the day…getting a little tired of the heat so it makes me pretty cranky some days!

Looking forward to: Hearing the baby’s heartbeat at my doctor appointment on Friday.
