Game Time

Week 37 - Full Term Now!

This past week felt like is was the longest week ever! Since starting my new job, I have been going into the office every day. Might not seem like a big deal but spending 3 hours of my day in the car is exhausting, especially after working a long day and at the end of the work day, just wanting to be home and not having to sit in a car for an extended period of time. Additionally, sleep is pretty much non existing in our house lately between the 50 times Kristin gets up to go to the bathroom and the countless times she waked me up when using my as leverage to help her turn. Friday morning was rough because I had only gotten a couple of hours of sleep (I know, get use to it because when the baby comes there will be no such thing as sleep) in addition to I not feeling well. I do not know if it was the weather or if just being run down, however, I had a soar throat and was stuffed up. Work was long Friday. By the time I got home, it was almost 7. I came home though to a great meal Kristin had cooked. She also made me brownies! After dinner, I went to bed and slept pretty late the following morning, which is not like me.

Saturday Kristin and I did all our errands knowing our parents would be down on Sunday to celebrate our Birthday's early. When we got home, we relaxed for a but before heading next door to our neighbors house for dinner and game night. Typically when we have game night, we play a variety of board games. This time however, we played the Wii and also Guitar Hero on Playstation. We bowled and played Mario Cart. Guitar Hero was fun but tough for those who do not have great coordination. Kristin on the other hand got run off stage by the audience due to her inability to hitting any of the correct notes!

Today our parents came over for an early Birthday celebration. DH got here around 11am. Upon his arrival, I gave him a lesson how to play Wii bowling. After he got some practice in, he, Kristin and I played a match of Wii bowling. I got some great video!!!! I cannot wait for Jackson to see one day! Pictures below:





Just as our first match ended my mom arrived, who too got a lesson how to play Wii bowling. The next round was DH, Kristin, my mom and I. We defintley had plenty of laughs. The party did not begin though until Mudda Annie and Bob came and they too joined in on the game. I think we played the Wii for just about 6 hours! While everyone ate, Bob and I played a few rounds of golf and then some baseball before turning back to family bowling. The last game I came in 3rd, while Kristin came in first and Mudda Annie came in second. Kind of funny to look at the pictures of our parent playing a video game and loving it! We had some great Birthday cake from Whites Bakery. It was a carrot cake, which we topped with ice cream and hot fudge.



Between all the sugar we had and carbs, I am ready for a nap. Weekend go by so quickly. I am looking forward to having 3 weeks off when Jackson comes, which I hope is sooner rather than later. I think Kristin is ready at this point for him to be born because she is so uncomfortable. It is so funny to see how cute Kristin's belly is. While I cannot wait for Jackson to be here, I will miss touching Kristin's belly! I think she looks absolutely beautiful!

So as we approach the end of March, let's see if the people who voted for the last week get their free meal!
