Latest Belly. . . etc ,

So here he is at 31 weeks:



And at 32 weeks (the latest):


This one was this afternoon and it feels bigger than it looks! I feel pretty good, except for the excruciating heartburn 24 hours a day! But since I overall have had it so easy it's probably not fair to complain!
On the home front - The bathroom is done! WOO HOOOO! We are going to take a look at it tomorrow morning with the contractor and he'll do the finishing touches then we can move back in tomorrow night! I'm excited to get Daisy back to a normal routine, although it's been fun living with Ryan and Larisa. I've even come to like Diesel - the puppy with missing brain cells:).

And since the doggies have been my baby the last week and a half, I thought I would give them some face time:

Bye Bye Bathroom . . .

Finally. Our leaky, moldy, ugly, out of date bathroom was ripped out this past weekend and the rehab has started! Phil, with the help of Ryan, Eduardo and Gerardo (spelling may be incorrect, but I dont think they read the blog so I'm ok), gutted the bathroom completely. But don't worry, Phil isn't putting it back together. We hired a professional for that! I'm a little worried about the paint color I picked. . . It might look like orange soda exploded. The bathroom is going to be "my" bathroom now - where I get ready in the morning. If I come out of the house looking like an Umpa-Lumpa, you'll know that maybe the orange I picked out for the walls was a bit much.

During the rehab, we are staying with Larisa and Ryan for 2 weeks just like last year when we had to rip out all our floors and get our house jacked up so we wouldn't fall through the floor to our death. Strangely enough, it's the same 2 week period as last year! Unfortunately, I am NOT very fun company these days. Last year, I would get home and Larisa was only a few minutes behind me and within an hour we would have at least one drink (usually a margarita) in us! Now, no drinking, well on my part anyway. And I am so dang grumpy! I know I am miserable to be around and I can't seem to help it. Between the insane heartburn that has be eating 20+ TUMS a day to no avail, and the back pain, I am a pain in everyone elses back!

What can ya do? Only 8 weeks to go. Thank GOD! As soon as the bathroom is complete - probably by next Friday - We have to get moving on Dude's room. Painting, organizing, and putting the crib together. At least Phil and I get to go on a date this weekend. All we have talked about in the last few months are bathrooms and baby and I forget what real conversation is like! It's already happened and Dude's not even here yet! We're going to work on that.

I'll post belly pics soon, it's been a few weeks, but it looks the same - just way bigger and heavier and harder and lumpier and kickier and heart-burnier. :)
