Still recovering....

....from a FULL weekend. It started out on Friday afternoon with my kitchen in disarray as we await the installation of a dishwasher- should all be done today. Then, Mehdi's car had a meltdown on the 805 freeway on his way home from work- anyone want to buy a CL500? We went to a really tasty & inexpensive Italian dinner that night so we could eat & drink away our frustrations about that stupid car.

Saturday morning started with me dropping off Mehdi at the Cafe at 6:30am when I was on my way to boot camp. After boot camp, I headed home to start trimming the hedges in the front of the house. This turned into a MAJOR yardwork day- nearly 7 hours of physical labor. The good news is that our front yard looks well manicured and I feel good when I look out and see how orderly everything is. Bad news is that I couldn't move Saturday night and Sunday.

Baby is a little over 2 pounds now, and somewhere between 14 & 15 inches long. Last night, as we were making our baked potato dinner, Mehdi said "WOW...you're really pregnant now." I'm thinking that I have a good 8 weeks of work left in me, but the sciatic pain is growing more and more uncomfortable with each week. Baby is moving pretty regularly which is fun to feel. Feeling the baby move is the only cool thing about being pregnant, in my opinion.

All in all, we're thankful to have our health, a baby on the way, and a great little house to call home. Most of all, we're glad to have each other. Life is good for us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
