Everyone has Their Secrets

We have a secret... a secret doorway that is :) It leads to a room filled with wine goodness. It's even got a secret way to open it!

A while back, I was watching a show and saw a bookcase that dueled as doorway. I joked with Jereme about how we could put one in the basement and he ran with the idea. Cool huh? I think so. We joked with our friend Mike, who built it for us, that we should keep an extra corkscrew in there just in case we get locked in. Note: it's virually impossible to get locked in, but just in case.

Just trim, doors and carpet left. Those are going in this week. Then it's onto furnishing. Lord help me. That might take a while.




BTW, I'm now 29.5 weeks. Fingers and feet are starting to swell. Good times. I have some new pics of the little buckaroo. Will post soon.

Adios Amigos!

Spring has Sprung?

Does this mean I need to shave my legs? Honestly, I love winter just for that reason. It's basically a six month vacation from shaving. I might be hairy, but who's can see them besides me anyways. Well... my husband I suppose, but I am carrying his child, so he cannot judge.

With spring has come allergies. Ahhh chooo!!! Anyone else out there had allergies while preggers? Is there anything safe to take? I have a Dr. Appointment in a few weeks and I plan on talking with them then about possibilities. I guess I didn't think that I'd have to deal with them so early on in the year.

What about paranoia? I feel like I am more paranoid this time. Lots of what if's running through my mind. So weird. And at the same time, I can just as easily push them off and move onto the next thing. I don't have time for what if"s. Maybe it's just the differences between this pregnancy and the last. For example, this baby is not near as active as Lilly was. That makes me paranoid. Then, randomly, I'll get a jab to the ribs and I feel better. Who knows.

Nothing else new. Last week of travel and then I am staying in good ole MN!

That's all I got folks. Blah, Blah, Blah.

New this week

On the road again, I just can't wait to get on the road again. Wait, that's not the song I really want to have stuck in my head. I do tho. Woke up in Seattle this morning to SNOW! That's backwards. It's gonna be 50 degrees at home and I am seeing snow. Oh well.

Between trips, I managed to have my 26 week doctor appointment. Baby is growing strong. Doc says about 1.5lbs of baby with a heartbeat at 160. Another girl maybe? Isn't that what the wives tale says... faster heartbeats means a girl? Also, I passed my glucose test. No gestational diabetes for this preggers lady. Whew. I love candy. Not sure what I would do without it.

That also leads me to think about cravings. With this baby, I really haven't changed my diet much. At this point with Lilly I was walking around with at least 2 PB&Js in my purse at all times. I craved ribs and spicy foods. And I couldn't stand the thought of pizza. This one, not so much. Although, fish tacos have been a favorite. Maybe that will be my vice this go-round.

Back at home, Lilly started swimming lessons. Daddy has been taking her. I'm sad that I have missed them. Not that I would consider putting on a swimsuit right now. I just want to see her and Daddy splash in the water. She LOVES swimming! Goodness that little girl can make me smile. She's just so flippen funny!

Home all next week. I can hardly wait to not have to get on a plane! Yippee!!!

Off to wow the crowd with my tantalizing presentation skills. Adios for now!
