Landscape Curbing

Last weekend my brother, Scott, and his business partner put in landscape curbing around the outside of our house. They worked hard and did a wonderful job. We are thrilled with the completed project and have received several compliments throughout the neighborhood.

Their business is called, "Ultimate Edge." Check out their website at http://www.ultimateedgemn.com/

I'll post better pictures when Brad finishes adding a little more rock around the house.

Week 38

Our Official Countdown is 12 Days!

My ankles are swollen, but I'm still feeling okay. I feel like I'm growing out of my skin though. Sleeping is hard, but I have Ambien prescribed from my doctor and she says it's perfectly okay to take during pregnancy. I think I'll take one tonight. I have been up since 3:30 this morning. I'll be hitting the hay a little early tonight.

Week 37

Our Official Countdown is 19 Days!

I had my weekly check up today. Everything is well and right on track. My belly measures normal at 37 centimeters and the baby is in the "head down" position. It's ready!!! I'm starting to experience more cramping & pelvic pressure today...which my doctor says is a good sign. Right now, the baby has the hiccups. Poor thing...must not have liked the mexican that I had for lunch.

Brad and I are making a "practice" run through to the hospital tonight just so he isn't stressing out on how to get there when the BIG DAY actually comes. I have lots of information & examples for him to refer to on the BIG DAY too. So, he should be okay. I know he'll do just fine. He's going to be such a good daddy!

My last day of work is Friday, July 18th. I'm going to be training in a girl next week. Brad gets two weeks of paternity leave when the baby is born. His boss is not making him travel during this whole month, which is nice.

Also, we just became official members of Lord of Life Lutheran Church in Maple Grove!!! WooHoo!!! :)

Puffy

I've been a little puffy lately. I woke up Sunday morning and my face, hands & legs were all swollen. I haven't been able to wear my wedding ring for a few weeks. I went to Target and bought a fake one. This ring is about one size bigger than my wedding ring, so at first it was a little loose. On Sunday, I couldn't even get it off my finger because they were so swollen.

The puffiness has gone away except in my calves & ankles. I now have kankles. I'm feeling pretty good though.

Little Cousins

My aunt & uncle from Spokane are visiting this week. They brought their two grandsons along for the visit. Last weekend, Brad and I took the two boys, Carlos & Nicholas, to the Como Zoo & the Science Museum while my mom & other family members were at another relative's wedding. We had fun and did a lot of walking. The next day I was a little puffy from all the walking.
