Week 29ish and Things

Our blog updates seem to have become infrequent. To be honest, between work and whatnot, the blog is at the bottom of the list.

Last night we received another gift at our house from our registry. We got our frog wash clothes and our diaper bag. Last week we got out tub and the week prior our playmate. It is very exciting for us to be getting baby stuff outside of all the clothes we have been getting. Speaking of clothes, Kristin and I picked up a couple of more things at Kohl's this weekend. They were having a good sale on Carter sleep sets. We ended up getting 3 sleep sets, for 0-3 months, which we do not have much of. One has farm animals on it, the other frogs and one has zoo animals. With both showers soon approaching, we cannot wait to see all the stuff we get!




This past weekend Kristin and I went up to MA. She and her mom did some shopping for something to wear at the shower(s) and some other odds'n'ends, like mom underwear (underwear that goes up to your chin). While they shopped, I did what have become the usual, which is painting. This time I painted the Kren a nice Stuart Gold color. I think at this point I am retiring from painting for a while having had my share between the nursery, bathrooms(DH's and ours) and the Kren.

So, our pellet supply seems to be severely decreasing. We are almost through our second ton with only one ton left. I am beginning to think we are going to run out before the end of the winter with their being 2-3 months left of cold/cool weather. I think we will make it through the end of Feb unless it gets warmer. We called today to inquire how much it is to get our oil burner services (cleaned) in the event we need to turn it on. They now charge $250 compared to the $115 I use to pay which was for both the A/C and oil servicing. So, we decided to hold off right now on getting it serviced. At least next year I will have an idea of how much pellets I go through when ordering.

As I write this, I just realized we have not posted an updated picture of Kristin in a while. Her stomach seems to be growing by the day now. We have noticed that her stomach has started to drop. The baby is quite active. A couple of time we have been able to see him pushing up through her stomach, even making her bookmark that was resting on her belly move. Couple of more weeks and we start our alternative birthing classes. I told Kristin that I heard they make you (mothers) undress for the classes, which is why they ask you to bring a blanket. Not having done these classes before, I fear the gross factor in them! Anywho, below is an updated picture of preggo as well as of Ms. Monroe sleeping in Jackson's room waiting for his arrival.
