Busy, Busy, Busy

I had my last of my 2-week appointments on Monday. I am measuring right on with weight and belly size (?). The doctor said that for my appointment this Friday I need to be packed and ready to go just in case they need to admit me. Yikes!!!!!! Is it really come up that fast?!?!? I think we're mostly ready except we don't have a car seat yet. I just ordered it on Friday and hopefully it comes before the baby decides to come!! Besides being a whopping 30 lbs. heavier and having a huge belly, I feel pretty good. She's still really active and sometimes likes to give me a little jab in the ribs or hip bone to remind how much spunk she'll have in the outside world. I have a feeling she's going to be a lot like me. Luckily we both have Troy, the most patient guy in the world.

The nursery is coming along very well. We bought our chair rails yesterday and Troy stained them this afternoon. Hopefully we'll be able to get them up by the end of the week so we can finally post pictures of the baby's room. I think it has turned out really nice and I can't wait to get the bedding on to see it come all together.

Our garden is coming along well too. Against Troy's mom's advice, we left a peach on our peach tree just to see how well it would grow. (No worries, we yanked off all others) The peach is about the size of a small lime. Our zucchini plants are growing like crazy. Two out of the three mounds have 4 plants growing and the one other mound has 1 plant. We may have to do a little thinning so we don't have an insane amount of zucchinis. Our potato plants are coming up nicely. If anything, I'm most excited to see how they turn out and I can't wait to eat them. Our green beans are doing great as well. We probably have at least 2 times more green beans than we did last year and we planted them about a month earlier than we did last time so we will have tons this season. They're really tasty so I can't complain. As for our watermelons, cantelopes, grape tomatoes, and peppers...well...they're not doing so hot. One watermelon seed has come up but I haven't found any others. We had a really cold night a couple weeks ago and I think that killed off our grape tomatoes and peppers and maybe our cantelope. Bummer. At least we still have our roma tomato plants still growing. At the rate they are growing, we may have tomatoes by November. They are still so tiny!!!

My neighbor and Robyn threw me a baby shower yesterday with all the neighborhood folks. It was a lot of fun and I'm super appreciative for all that they did. We played a few games and I actually won one of them. We had to guess baby foods by tasting them. I got 4 out of 5. Not too shabby for never having tried baby food before. I can definitely say that that will have been my first and last time doing so. They are disgusting. Blah!!Lastly, the work on our deck has finally begun. Hip, hip hooray!!!! It has turned out looking great and I think both Troy and I agree that the size of the deck is roughly the same size as our first apartment in Provo. Kind of funny. Hopefully they'll be finishing up by midweek.
