Almost done!

I know I know, I just can't get into a habit about this blogging thing! I have become a really good blog stalker, but I just can't seem to become a good blogger :(
I have been meaning to post for a while but I couldn't find the camera! So, instead of waiting any longer, I will post without pictures. Sad, I know.
Well I am currently 39 weeks along in the pregnancy! Monday is the due date, but at the rate we are going, I'm sure it will come and go :( I have been spending my last 3 weekends, walking (while shopping of course) and walking and swimming - but as of my appointment last Friday I was still only dilated to 1cm. I'm having lots of braxton hicks contractions but nothing that is painful so I will be curious to see if anything has changed at my appointment coming up this week. My doctor said he won't let me go passed 41 weeks but I will probably try and get him to schedule an induction for the middle of next week. As much as I want to go into labor naturally ... this baby is getting too big too fast haha!
So far I'm still feeling pretty good. Other than the aches and pains and lack of sleep. But I suppose that is to be expected at this point. Friday will be my official last day at work. :) Yippee! That will probably make this baby coming more of a reality!

On another note, we are official homeowners :) We officially closed on April 30th! With the help of Jeff's parents and Brittany & William, we installed fans, blinds and scrubbed baseboards, bathrooms and the kitchen. It was a long night.
The following day (Saturday May 1st) we moved all of our stuff to the garage and unpacked the kitchen. Jeff cleaned the carpets around noon so that put everything on hold until Monday. That was also a long day. It probably didn't help that I was 8 months pregnant. I definitely don't recommend moving that late in the pregnancy. I felt useless for the most part and it's taken a long time to get a handle on everything. I'm just exhausted these days - although, working full time probably doesn't help.
On Monday Jeff and his mom and cousins moved furniture into the house. I believe our first official night there was Tuesday :) It's been wonderful having our own place again! Although it was really weird not seeing my parents everyday and not having people to talk to.
Being homeowners definitely comes with it own set of responsibilities - and bills *sigh* - but we love it :) It's been fun to set up the nursery! The baby's room has more furniture than any other room haha. His rooms looks so nice and cozy. I can't wait to rock our little guy to sleep.

Ahhh, I feel better now :) At least I can say my blog is caught up! I promise to not wait so long to post again. You will definitely receive pictures of the little guy shortly after he is born and eventually the latest belly picture and some of the house!
