Not much going on around here...

I haven't posted for a while, but not much is new around here. Just my growing belly! I had my 24 week appointment today. Everything is still looking great. I am measuring right on and the baby's heartbeat is strong and steady. I am feeling her kick a lot...and you can finally feel her from the outside! My brother Justin was the first to feel her kick from the outside...I think he thought that was pretty cool. Here is the pic my mom took after the mother/daughter golf tournament we played in last week.

Everyone keeps asking me "Is your husband excited?" Well, I don't know if excited is the word, but he is starting to think of getting things in order for the baby to arrive. He went out last Saturday night and bought the TV he has been wanting for a year (a 52" Sony XBR LCD for those of you who are technologically savvy). He told me he "had" to get the TV "for the baby".

Oh, really???

Wait a minute...how exactly is this preparing for the baby to arrive?? Well, let me explain. We bought the entertainment center this past winter, but were not able to use the center stand (our old TV was the big screen version that was huge and heavy, not needing a TV stand) so the stand has been taking up valuable space in our office. So by buying the TV, we were able to move the TV stand into the basement family room. This allowed the elliptical to be moved out of the scrapbook room and into the office, which allowed more space for the guest bed to be moved into the scrapbook room and out of the baby's room. Then we can move the furniture from the upstairs front room into the baby's room, remodel the front room (the only room left to remodel!), move the furniture back into the front room, and finally furnish the baby's room. Did you get all of that? (If not, may I suggest buying a new home and never ever remodeling...it is a ginormous pain in the #$%! I'm sure Mandy may agree with me.)

And all of this is supposed to be done before November...hmmm.

Might be a problem with my husband in front of the Playstation 3 like he has been for the last 3 days. Boys and their toys...

Yes, that is a PS 3 game on the TV screen...he wouldn't turn it off for the picture.

(Got to give him credit, though. The TV and the picture quality is phenomenal. Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom in Pirate's 3 on BluRay? Hello! Priceless...)
