So I guess start off with the pregnancy, I'm 36 and a half weeks. Had an appointment on Monday and I know its not abnormal or that my doctor had never seen it before, rather felt it, but when she checked me she was honestly a little surprised at how low babies head is. I was 1.5 cm and next week we will start membrane taring. I have been having intermediate strength random contractions some lasting a few seconds some what feels like a couple minutes but probably only one. Ok the gross part, I think I have lost or am loosing my plug. All this along with the taring next week and that this is my second baby the thoughts of her coming around 38 weeks are looking promising, that means only 2 weeks left. I am glad to know that, didn't know how dilated I was until that appointment and now I know how long I have to get things in line. Between Keith's car getting moved to a friends shop, and therefore out of the garage, the rain and this new information, we finally got to clean up the crappy dresser I got for #2 earlier in the summer for $25 off of, yes Craigslist. It was one of those cheap wood and plywood made, tall 4 drawer dressers with the crappy kind of laminate-ish type top. I was just going to throw it up in the room since it will just be going in the closet but Keith insisted that I sand and paint it white. I didn't think it would look very good so I didn't take a before shot but it actually turned out really well and I saw some light blue spray paint we had and made Keith paint the drawers. All in all the dresser has 4 coats of white and the drawers have 2 plus the one coat of spray. I put it all together this morning and it looks great, I mean as good as the crappy dresser could look. Only problem is now I want to paint Naomi's dresser except reverse, blue dresser with the white drawers. Haha I think that one will have to wait... anyways here is the finished dresser:
The siding has been going, slowly but surely. We have also been hung up because the first rains have been coming and its too dark to work by 630... Although I guess we are going to have 4-5 days of no rain, including the weekend, so we are hopeful to find some helpers and get a going on the rest of the front. We did find some pretty awesome rot under the two windows, like so much so that you could punch, not even at full strength, and get through the T 1-11. Keith's plan is to now build a long flowerbed in to the frame under the 2 windows. Add a little class and pizzazz I have some reserves, like watering but he insists it will all work out. Anyways here are a few more recent pictures.
The entry way is totally done (for the exception of literally 2 pieces) Looks great though!
So the flower bed will span the 2 windows.
Rot. Awesome.
With Halloween coming I think I should take advantage of all the "Caution" tape out there and perhaps leave it up? What do you think?
Also today I got really excited about Christmas. I was in Costco and Naomi saw a play house thing, actually it was just a kitchen but she called it a house and started exclaiming "Mommy! Mommy house! Get house down! Mommy house peeeeease!!!! Mommy, mommy, mommy get house down peeeease! Mommy house!" I told her maybe Santa will get her one for Christmas. EEEEEEK!!! I can't wait!
However Halloween comes first and this Sunday we are hosting a pumpkin carving and pot luck dinner at our place with the Cali Gevas clans. Naomi loved carving so much last year so we plan on clearing out our front room, covering it with newspaper and going to town. I'm really excited for it and hope that over the next few years we can continue this and even have a little party on Halloween and be a meeting place for those living in apartments or not so trick or treat friendly neighborhoods and to just hang out since little kids don't usually go out for very long.
Anyways. I'm sure I will post again next week after more siding get done (hopefully), my appointment and hopeful progress and Halloween.
