I apologize for not blogging very often.  Its amazing how true the story goes.  Being in the third trimester has been nothing but exhausting.  It hasn't helped that we have been extra stressed at work worrying about packing and moving our school.  This past weekend we moved all weekend long.  It was great.  I'm glad its over with, however, now the children are back to their crazy selves that they were when we first started in the room LAST August.  So, I'd say we need an adjusting period.  We will probably be back to normal right when my baby comes.  
We also entertained this past weekend.  We had Greg's parents, Grandma and brother over for dinner.  Its the first time his parents have seen our house since we moved, and his grandmother had never seen it.  Carl has been over plenty of times, but it was his first time seeing the nursery.  All loved it.  
Greg has been off the past 2 days and down at his dad's shop working away on projects.  he is making a bench for the bathroom so we have a place to store all of our baby girl's bath things, he is building shelves to go in our room so that we can make it a little more personal, and he is making a bookshelf for all the wonderful books we received at baby showers.  I'd say the baby's room will be done after that!  YAY!
As far as the baby goes, she as dropped tremendously.  I think she still has a foot or leg up my right ribcage, but other than that my pain in the front has disappeared.  My back still hurts, but I see that being the case until she is out.  I am ready for her to be out because as I stated before, my days are long and exhausting.  Only 5 more weeks! :)

Thankful

My dad had quadruple bypass on Thursday and it has been nothing but a blessing that he had the #1 heart team on his side.  It was also nice that my mom and I knew his surgeon from the gym.  Its a small world.  He has been recovering quickly.  He was off the ventilator 6 hours ahead of schedule and out of CVR (or ICU) 24 hours early.  The one thing that I love about my dad (ok one of the many) is that when he puts his mind to something, he will get it done in no time.  And right now, that something is recovering.  Now we just have to wait for his kidneys to get back to normal before he can come home.  Hopefully that will be Monday.  But we will see.  Unfortunately, because of his kidneys, he can not be on pain killers, so he is in a heck of a lot of pain.  :(  He is doing well, and I am so lucky to have a dad like him.  I wouldn't be me without him!!!  :)
