With all that's been going on here, I've been kept really busy and the blog has found it's way to the bottom of the priority list. Who would have thought that cooler weather meant even MORE laundry?! Long pants and socks and sweaters fill up a load a lot quicker than shorts and T-shirts. The basement facelift is done; well, basically. It's more than functional and we've set back up all the toys and have been using the space. I'm still getting used to the echo since there's no carpet to absorb the sounds anymore but the space feels much bigger and bottom line, it's much cleaner without all the grungy wall to wall carpet. There is some door casing that needs to be put up since we couldn't find an exact match to the existing and some paint touchups need to be done where Craig removed the half wall but for all intents and purposes, it's done. Just in time, too, because we're hosting Thanksgiving on Saturday next weekend and we'll certainly be needing the space for the 14 people that will be here.
We zipped out to the local Farmer's Market this morning to order our turkey and buy some veggies. I don't make it to the market nearly as much as I'd like to. It's honestly pure laziness because shopping for all that produce at the grocery store costs more but is only 1 trip.
I was debating getting a 3D ultrasound in my mind for the past month or so. I really enjoyed being able to see Ian when we had the ultrasound and I treasure those photos. At the time I would have paid double for the experience, and told everyone so. But now that I'm at the point of making a similar decision again, I don't think I'll do the 3D scan. Not only because it's hundreds of dollars but in reality, I'm going to meet this new little man in only a few months. The time is going to fly so before I know it, he'll be here. Besides, there's still a few things that I need to pick up for him that will total hundreds of dollars anyway. I'm still trying to wrap my head around having a newborn in the dead of winter instead of the middle of a hot, humid summer. Warm clothes are at the top of my list!

27 weeks, crazy... you look closer to 40. Do you have past belly pics to compare to?
Sure do Crystal! If you go back through the archives in my blog, I was pregnant with Shaun in 2005 and he was born in August. I have a belly pic for nearly every week for him.
There were much fewer belly pics for Ian but there's still some. He was born August 2008 and those are archived, too.
Strangely enough, I don't feel nearly as uncomfortable this time as I did with the other 2. Maybe because my body just did this? I don't know, but I'll roll with it!
Well either way you are looking great! Hope you keep feeling good to the end!
