Baby Sunday on Monday: 32 weeks

This week was fantastic. We got oodles of stuff done and in order. I love being productive. The highlights of the weekend are as follows. Friday- Matt and I have gotten back into watching old movies so we watched "On the Waterfront" with Marlon Brando. I've forgotten how good those movies are, people really knew how to act back then. We rented a whole bunch from the library that we hope to watch soon. Saturday- We woke up nice and early, went to breakfast at Panera (which bytheway has the most amazing veggie cream cheese spread I've ever tasted, I was freaking out the whole time I was eating it). Then we went and pick blackberries at a farm about 30 mins from our house. It was so much fun to hunt down the best berries. Then we hit the Costco to stock up on some stuff before the baby comes. We now have toilet paper and paper towels coming out of our ears. Then we came home, unloaded our loot and as we were about to head to the local grocery store for some Father's Day stuff I backed up into our neighbors truck parked on the other side of the street! It sounded horrible, I about died. So while I was sobbing with guilt and embarrassment Matt went and talked to them and looked at the damages. It only broke our taillight and made a dent by their door handle. Hopefully we'll be able to pay them under the table if it doesn't cost much to fix so we don't have to report it to insurance. After that, Matt drove around for the rest of our errands:) After that fiasco, we took a drink break at Sonic- which always turns into me sneaking some of Matt's sodie while he attempts to slap my hand away from it. We went to the Dollar Store to pick up some organizers for Matt's office, which is a disaster of unorganization. We're hoping to remedy that this week. Then we came home and crashed for the rest of the night. Sunday- The Father's Day program at church was good and Matt and I are the new, cool couple that the kids under 3 like to come and play with during sacrament. Our hometeachers little girl Abbie, who is almost 2, grabs some books and beelines for our pew and sits with us and reads during sacrament. And our friends little girl Paige kept looking over at us on the other side of the chapel and saying, "I want to go play with Brother and Sister Anderton." We thought we were pretty cool hanging with the little kids. We love it. I think I smell a nursery calling coming on sometime in the future. Here are some pics from the weekend:

Matt's Father's Day Breakfast. We rounded up Sister Metcalf's crepe recipe and my oh my was it good.

THIS is what Matt REQUESTED for his Father's Day dinner. Bistec a la Pobre (Poor Man's Steak). He was feeling nostalgic for Chile and I guess this is what they would have a lot of when he lived there. It consists of the cheapest slab of meat you can find following by grilled onions with potatoes and rice topped with a fried egg. I only ate the steak and onion, but Matt loved it so that's all that matters.

These are the blackberries we picked on Saturday. Humongous.

We picked 3 lbs of blackberries, bought some homegrown squash, huge zucchini, that outrageous cucumber and some yummy tomatoes. All for 15 bucks.

This little guy was hanging out right by our front door when we got home. He was so cute, Matt wouldn't stop bothering him.


Baby Sunday: 32 weeks

I was looking through old photos and found a pic of me at only 10 weeks with the same shirt I was wearing a couple days ago. Let's do a little tummy comparison shall we?

Tummy at 10 weeks-puhleaze tummy, what tummy? I had no idea what was coming

Tummy exploding at 32 weeks. Yoah. Poor stretched out shirt.

Obsessions/Rampages: Water. I drink about 2.5 + Liters a day. Probably because when I step outside I sweat buckets and need to replenish, but still I drink a ton. Which means I have to pee a ton. It's a vicious cycle. Baby boy likes to dance on my bladder. I think I had my first Braxton Hicks contraction. It felt different then some of the normal growing pains I get so I'm assuming it was one. It was more shocking than painful to me. It is so fun to feel him move around so much. I think I've pinpointed his body parts that cause my stomach to look like a waterbed rolling around. Mood has been much better this week. I got sick of being grumpy so I decided I'm not going to be. Duh. Matt and I went to an Intro to Breastfeeding class held by the hospital I deliver at. It was pretty cool. They had this fake boob that they pass around so you can feel what a clogged duct feels like and all that good stuff. Lucky for Matt there were a bunch of other poor husbands that had been tricked into coming so he felt right at home:)

Elations/Worries: People are starting to ask if I want him to come out yet. I can honestly say, "No". I need a little more time to mentally prepare myself and he's not done cooking yet and I want him to be healthy. I'm elated for when he does come, my life will change forever. My friend Heartburn came to visit a couple of days this week. It's been bearable. I just pop a couple of rolaids and I'm good to go.

Aversions/Cravings: Again, cold stuff. It is just so stinking hot outside that the last thing I want to eat is something searing hot. And as I mentioned before water, lots of water. Oh and I may or may not have eaten almost a whole batch of rice crispy treats with Matt this weekend:)
