I had my 24 week appointment today and I have to say, it was probably the most uneventful appointment yet! Again, I'm quite thankful for the uneventful - we are so lucky that we're able to talk about all the great stuff happening, even when it is pretty boring!
We're almost done with all the house projects I wanted to complete before we have the baby so now I'm anxious for the crib and glider to come in! I can't wait for the baby's room to start looking like a baby's room. Right now I alternate between calling it the spare room and the baby's room. Hopefully once the big spare bed is out of there and is replaced by actual baby furniture, it will officially and permanently be the baby's room.
My birthday is this week. I typically like to think of the entire month of October as my birthday month and definitely the week of is my birthday week and 100% all about me. I'm guessing this is a sign of birthdays to come, but I could almost care less about my upcoming birthday this year. I am taking the day off so that's a little treat for me, but one of the things I'm doing with the day is going to a kid and baby consignment sale to hopefully score some bargains on baby stuff! Times are changing - already my focus and money are going to baby, even on my birthday!!
We have a busy few weeks coming up. We're headed to Kansas City on Saturday to visit Mike's family. We get back on Tuesday and are then headed to Big Bear for our annual hiking trip with Stella. The day after we get back from Big Bear, I'm headed to San Francisco for a work trip. Whew! It's a bit of a whirlwind, but I'm excited to have some fun stuff coming up that isn't 100% focused on our house or the baby.
Depending on if we have time next week during our one night home, we may or may not have a blog update. I promise to update in a few weeks and at the very least will have some fun stuff to share from our upcoming trips!
