busy busy.

So i'm officially "full term" now... which is strange. The fact that henry could be born any day is thrilling and a bit scary at the same time. But we're totally ready. Sean even brought home a rocking chair the other day, and i went a little nutso at babies r us yesterday... to say the kid will be well swaddled is definitely an understatement.

We took a little outing to the dog park this morning... i'm not sure who's more worn out- i think logan did as much running as sock did. And i haven't done that much walking at one time in quite a while, but it felt really good. Probably could have stayed longer, but my bladder just couldn't take it :)

One thing i know for sure: i am SO ready for fall.

36 weeks.

today we bought all the supplies we might possibly need for the home birth. it was an incredibly long list, but i feel better now knowing that if i happen to go early we are completely prepared.

my shingles are just about gone, and the pain is down to that of a minor sunburn. no one has broken out in chicken pox yet, but i'm keeping my fingers crossed that no one will.

in general, i'm just exhausted. my feet look like potatoes with little sausage toes, and sean calls my belly button a "tummy anus." my maternity shirts are too small, none of my maternity pants are comfortable anymore, and my shoes have been stolen and replaced with ones that will never fit my feet. i've taken to wearing dresses and leggings pretty much all the time. if only i could wear sandals to work...

but aside from all that i'm feeling pretty good!

There's nothing like a shingles breakout to make you forget all your other aches and pains....

in other news: one little monkey jumping on the bed. he fell off and broke his head. but it wasn't anything some cereal and a hug couldn't cure :)

today we learned that skating is hard.

other things i managed to accomplish today:

12 loads of laundry
mounting new curtain rod and hanging new curtains
assembling a bookshelf
hanging up ALL of henry's clothes (i went through >80 hangers...)
organizing everything
reorganizing everything.
re-reorganizing everything
sewing 2 strips of bunting
hanging bunting
hanging pictures

and now his room is finished! i'll take pictures tomorrow.

oh, henry.

a raging firestorm of heartburm, a gigantic and cumbersome belly that's growing to the tune of 2.5 lbs/week, feet that smell like dog farts (i should have just let the dog take the blame for that one), rings that don't fit on fingers, ankles that fled weeks ago, hip bones that feel in no way connected to the rest of my body, and a whirlwind of random shooting pains.

luckily, it's for a good cause. less than 2 months to go!
