Which looks better

We took a belly pic today at the house and I need some opinions on which one we should get blown up. The 2 pictures are under the album titled New Photos.

Happy Saturday

Well, I am now 37 weeks and very ready for baby girl to arrive. I have reached that point where my body can't stretch any more and every time she moves I am in pain. It is also starting to hurt when I walk or try to pick up stuff. I am really hoping when I go in on Monday for my appt. she will have some good news for me!

I ordered Kenny's Halloween costume today. It will be here in a few days and I really hope it fits him! You just never know with costumes because they sometimes run small and sometimes run big. We will just have to keep our fingers crossed. I also need to finish baby girls costume. I just need to make her some fairy wings out of felt and find a cute little onsie she can wear with the tutu I made her. She is going to be our little fairy since she will only be a couple weeks old and they don't make costumes that small.

Today we are going out to dinner with Ken's parents to celebrate Al's birthday. We are going to this great steak house in Bronson, MI. Hopefully Kenny will behave! He spent last night with them and I am worried that he may turn into a devil at the restaurant from lack of sleep. If he does start to cause a ton of trouble though I will have to miss out on my yummy juicy steak and sit in the car with him. :(

I guess that is it! Not much has been going on around here. Will update if anything good happens!!

So busy!

It has been so busy around the Roland household this week!

Kenny is FINALLY getting over his sickies. His nose is still a little runny though, but the crankiness is gone! Now I just have to deal with the sudden mommy complex. I think children can sense when big changes are coming. All of a sudden last week he became very mommy clingy (usually prefers daddy for everything except owies) and just want me to hold him, carry him, rub his back, ect.

On Sunday I cleaned house and started to clean off the porch so we could bring Kenny's outdoor toys in for the Winter. I also went through all the stuff I was taking to the children's resale to make sure it was all tagged and ready to go.

I had my 35 week appt. on Monday. Everything is going good. I am already 1 1/2 centimeters and Michelle said I was ready to go! She gave me the go ahead to try some natural things if I want too like, red raspberry leaf tea, evening primrose oil, ect.

On Monday I also had to take all the boxes of stuff for the resale to the church and complete my three hour volunteer shift. I volunteered from 6-9 pm, so Kenny and daddy got to spend the evening hanging out and doing manly things (played video games, watched cartoons, and went for a walk). By volunteering though I get to shop at the presale on Friday (it opens to the public on Saturday). Usually by 10am on Saturday EVERYTHING is gone!! I am hoping to find some clothes for baby girl and Kenny, some x-mas presents I can hide away, and some last minute baby stuff we need to get. The church is really strict about high quality items, so you get great stuff really cheap! When I was helping sort through everything I found TONS of stuff I want to get for the kids!!!

Ken, Kenny and I all went for a really long walk today and I really overdid it! Half way through Kenny wanted to be carried, but he only wanted mommy to carry him. So, I carried him for a little bit, made him walk, and then carried him for a bit again. By the time we got home I could barely move it hurt so bad. I don't think I will be going on their walks any time soon!

I also spent as much of my spare time this week as I could trying to finish Kenny's big boy blanket. I finally finished it last night (except I need to do some yarn knots on it so the front and back stay connected when I wash it). I just need to finish the pillow case now, which I should be able to do on Saturday while Kenny is at Grandma and Grandpa Springer's house. I did post pictures of his blanket the new pictures album under the family photos link if you want to see it!

Well, I guess that is all for now! I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!!

Baby Girl's Room

Just wanted to let everyone know I posted some pics of Baby Girl's room. Just click on the family photo link and then click on the new photos album.

Well, I am now 34 weeks preggo and nesting has decided to set in yesterday. Kenny went off to Grandma and Grandpa's house for the day and I used all that free time to CLEAN, CLEAN, CLEAN!!!

I was able to SUPER clean the main bathroom, laundry room, living room, parlour and kitchen. I wiped down all the walls and ceilings, swept and mopped the floors, vacuumed, scrubbed the tub, sink, and toilet, pulled out the washer and dryer, cleaned out the cupboards and butler's pantry, washed down Kenny's toys, and washed all the rugs and curtains! WOW!!!

In other news Kenny and I had a blast at my parents house last weekend. It was so nice getting to see them and spend time with them. I miss them so much!! Mom will be coming up in October to see baby girl and spend some more time with us. I am getting very excited to see her again.

We are almost all prepared for baby girl to arrive. I was able to bring her crib back with me from my parents house (still not sure how I managed to get it to fit in my Focus). It is all set up and I just need to find a mattress. The plan is to get Kenny a cheap mattress (since he no longer needs a stiffer one for safety reasons) and use the one he has now in baby girls room. I also finished sewing the crib skirt and cover for the end table today.

My next goal is to make Kenny a new blankie. I let him pick out some material the other day (he picked one with trucks on it) and than I found some material to match. Now I just need to find some time to make it.

I guess that is all for now. Need to eat breakfast and get ready to go to Wal-Mart to return some bad turkey I got on Friday!
