Less than 10 weeks - countdown is on!

Definitely not my best photos, but I keep putting off or forgetting to take pictures so I grabbed FJ and took some on our deck this morning. On another note - this will hopefully be the last picture taken on our deck as is! Kevin and George are coming in today to work with FJ to build a new (or extend the current) deck! I'm so excited to have a nice outdoor living area. We actually bought a chiminea (outdoor fireplace) last night along with a cover and deck pad. We'll even have stairs down to the "backyard" so Tucker can head down to the grass and we can have access to the backyard without scaling down the drainage path!!

I had a 30 week check up yesterday and all is well. We are measuring right on target and aside from a few minor aches and pains and the first couple months of being ridiculously nauseous and sick, this has been a relatively easy pregnancy. Keep your fingers crossed it keeps going in that direction!! As of right now, we are still on target for our due date, my appointments will continue to be every 2 weeks until 36 weeks - then they'll move to every week. I did ask and we don't get anymore sonograms or ultrasounds unless something is wrong - but our doctor really likes to sneak into the ultrasound room so maybe around 36 if she's not super busy we can get a few more peaks at Rhett before he comes!! I also found out that I can pretty much keep going to the gym until I pop - I think part of me was looking forward to a couple of mandatory weeks off! Ha ha ha!

Another big milestone this week - I have less than 2 months left at work!!! I've got a lot of vacation saved up since we weren't able to go on the Mediterrannean cruise in September, so if I don't take anymore vacation between now and then, my last day will be Monday, December 13 unless Rhett makes an appearance earlier than that. That's less than 2 months, less than 9 weeks and one of the weeks in there is Thanksgiving which is a short week anyway!! I'm very excited but it's also scary with how close it is!

We finished ordering our furniture and all of the pieces will be in for the delivery over Thanksgiving. We ordered a glider and ottoman but it has to be covered so it'll take awhile for it to come in...I'm really hoping it comes in for the Nov 27 delivery, but it's not scheduled until mid December.

It feels like we are making a ton of progress on the nursery, finally. But of course there is a huge list of other half done projects that need to be completed and an equally long list of projects that need to be started and completed. Poor FJ - most of the list is delegated! Ha ha!

We had a visitor for dinner on Wednesday! Jess came to eat some Meatza and went to Scoops with us. We got to gab and catch up and I'm always loving an excuse to go to Scoops!! This is our last full weekend with Liz as our roommate, too. She'll be out of town next weekend for her best friend's wedding back home in MO and she's leaving us the weekend after that :( I'm sure she's ready to get out of the burbs and away from the two of us but we'll definitely miss Liz... I've said it before and I'll say it again - everyone should get "a Liz"!! Ha ha! We'll have to make the most of this Caturday!
