Spring is in the Air

This is one of our beautiful Rhododendron's in our front yard. It's a great reminder that we are in the middle of Spring. We had the greatest weather this past weekend which finally put me in the mood to plant flowers in our planters. So things around our house are quite colorful.

Well, pink is a color we have seen a lot of lately. Just when we thought we had the color we wanted for the baby's room, we changed our minds. We have officially gone through 4 different paint colors of "pink." Who knew that choosing a pink paint color would be so difficult!! I think by the weekend we might have a final picture of the baby's room w/ pink on the walls.

A couple weeks ago, Jake and I registered at Babies R Us- we spent 3.5 hrs in that store. About and hour of that time was spent just in the stroller aisle. I think Jake now knows how to close every stroller in that store. Thankfully, we found one we liked.

I had a 29 week OB appointment last Friday. It went well, I am measuring exactly where i should be and my weight is right on track. For the most part I am feeling great, my only complaint is having to go to the bathroom ALL THE TIME!! Just about every hour. I now get to start going to see the doctor every two weeks. Very exciting!!

LINGCOD!

I caught this 29" Lingcod just off Brown Island in Friday Harbor last friday. Good eatin'!

Baby Bedding has arrived

Baby things that Jake and I have ordered are finally starting to arrive. It's very exciting. Jake picked up the baby bedding from Seattle on Monday. I had ordered it online so all I had to go from was internet pictures. But, it turns out I love it!! The colors are perfect so now I can finally choose my paint color for the walls. Of course it's going to be a shade of pink.

We are still trying to finish our kitchen before we move to the baby's room but time is quickly slipping away. Let's just say, Jake has a lot of work to do.

Things are still going well with the pregnancy, this week will mark the 26th week. Baby Menard is kicking both sides of me pretty much all throughout the day, mainly after a good meal. The other day on the way back from Spokane on the airplane, I was reading a magazine and literally my stomach was moving the magazine up and down. It's such a neat feeling. There will be another showing of the baby bump either this week no next.

Winter in Olympia ~ April 19???

Erin's Belly

Erin's belly recently eclipsed my beergut I've been working on for the last 12 years (created by cases upon cases of Miller High Life). I was hoping to post a photo of the round protrusion, but Erin didn't like any of the photos we took. I hope I can get the lighting just right one of these days and post the photo. She really is a cute pregnant lady, so I'd like to share that with y'all. Stay tuned.
