Week 31

This week has been a lot of fun. We started off last weekend by attending a Purim party (pronounced pour-im). For those who don't know what Purim is, which until a week ago included myself, it is a jewish holiday that celebrates the deliverance of the jews from Haman as recorded in the book of Esther. The party involves reading the book of Esther, sharing food and drinks and dressing in costume. We had a ton of fun and will hopefully be celebrating again next year. 

We dressed up as Juno and Paulie

During the week we finished off the trim and painting in the nursery. I started sorting through all the baby clothes we have gotten so far. It's a lot! This baby will be well dressed for the first year thanks mostly to Steve's mom, his aunt, and my brother. I can't wait to get everything put in it's place and ready for the arrival of our little man.

Thursday we went cross country skiing. We have lived in this apartment for two and a half years and I am ashamed to admit that it was the first time we have used the groomed trails just two blocks away. Guess we are going to have to go a lot more to make up for that.

It was a gorgeous day!

Friday we were planning on taking a flight but apparently it is the year for overflow on the lakes. We ended up digging out the plane. And by we I mean Steve did most of it and I took pictures.

 The dog was not cooperating for his picture

 Oh wait, there we go.

 31 weeks and exactly two months until D Day.

Sometimes two months seems like an eternity. Sometimes it seems terrifyingly close. So much still to do and I'm working at about half my normal speed. Hopefully my to do list contains no more than a month's worth of work or I'm going to be in trouble. 

In other news this baby has finally decided to flip onto his head. It's a good thing I suppose but I have to say it is a whole lot less comfortable than when he was sideways. 

I've read that around this time you usually feel less movement because they have less room to move. Apparently our little man has missed the memo because he moves just as much. The only difference is that I feel them a lot more because he's getting bigger (about 3 pounds and 16 inches long.)

Time to get some rest for the week ahead. 

Until next time,
