Just the Two of Us

It was a weekend with nothing on the books. I really can't remember a weekend where we haven't had something going on. It's been a busy time, but we are hoping to keep a few upcoming weekends clear for just the two of us. Don't get the wrong impression we were productive, but those details come later.

We are edging closer and closer to Miss Bumpkin's due date and things aren't slowing down although my body sure is! Another doctors appointment has come and gone. Things are looking great. I'm still measuring right on track, her heartbeat is strong and healthy, and she was in the head down position - here's to hoping that she stays that way! Now we have entered into the stage of weekly doctor visits, just reaffirming how close we are getting to her arrival! Our daily, or my attempts at daily walks are getting more difficult. Increased pressure on my pelvis coupled with decreased lung volume creates the need for more stops along the route for me to regroup, but we trek on. The discomfort is no surprise since Miss Bumpkin is measuring around 18.2 inches in length and somewhere between 4 lbs and 6 lbs. I am still waddle free and most days still trying to pack in as much as possible although my body fights me at times.

Adding to our list as of late has included PURCHASING A HOME!! That's right we have snuck it in right in time to take advantage of the tax credit!! What makes it really interesting, because we enjoy a challenge, is the fact that it's a new build and isn't scheduled to close until June 25th. Yes, that's right the day before Miss Bumpkin is due! Thankfully we have our apartment until the end of July and loads of volunteers to move us. Part of the deal when deciding on buying this house was that I wasn't going to be packing or moving whether I am still pregnant or caring for Miss Bumpkin. In conjunction with our upcoming move we spent Saturday appliance shopping. :) After a few hours we narrowed down our likes & dislikes when it came to washers, dryers, and refrigerators. Returning home we reviewed the various makes and will be ready to buy next weekend in hopes the holiday will produce even more sales! To celebrate our "just the two of us" weekend we went out for dinner to kick off our date night before seeing the new Robin Hood movie - which was amazing! Even when we are doing everyday things, I love our time spent together.
