Alright..

I am officially sick of being pregnant. A birth at 37 weeks is sounding pretty dang good right now but alas it could take up to 42!!!!!! I was up all night last night with a tummy ache and today has been miserable with heartburn, etc, etc.. I am ready to have this baby for sure.
The baby shower was great we have most of the things we need. When I get feeling a bit better I'll set everything up and get the rest of the things we need. I am very very excited to finally meet him and to be a mommy :) I am also definitely excited about being one person again!

Little Neighbor People

Sometime last week I'm cleaning up in the house when I hear a knock at the door. I've never heard a knock at our door before so I see this as kind of strange. I go to the door and see the sleeve of a little boys army coat...hmm..
Last week when I lost Boo I walked around to all our close neighbors rather late in the evening, knocked on their doors, introduced myself as the new neighbor and asked if they had seen the dog. Our two neighbors very near to us were very sweet people and I hope I can have that nice neighborly relationship that everyone hopes for.
"Hi," says the little boy.
It's one of the little boys from across the street! "Hi, what was your name again?"
He tells me and then says he remembers my name. "You found your dog? That's good."
He stands there for a moment and I'm not sure what to do next. I've never owned a home and I've certainly never had a little neighbor boy before.
"It's cold," he says almost inquisitively.
Oh! He wants to come in? "Do you want to..."
"YES!"
So we talked for a while, he got bopped in the face by Cash's nose, I let him hold a few Geckos downstairs. Then he went home and I told him to come back whenever he like.

A few days later Bear and I are about to jump in the shower to start our Saturday agenda and we hear a knock at the door. Bear looks concerned and says, "Why is there knocking? Nobody knocks on our door?!"
It's neighbor boy and he brought his little sister. I open the door and I invite them in. The little girl is adorable, younger than her brother, and she is shy at first but seems to like being over. She wants to see the puppies and the geckos. Bear and him talk about video games (apparently they like the same ones). Then after a longer stay than the first time, with out warning, they run on home.

We have cute little neighbor kids! Future babysitters? Who knows!

Lost, Found and Appreciated

Boo the doggy was lost for a day. She got out of her cage while we were gone and was running around the front porch with out ID. Some teenagers thought they were doing little doggy a favor, took her out of her own yard, and brought her to their house. They then (probably because she chewed all of their prized possessions and pooped all over their house) called animal control and sent poor little obedient doggy to jail. All the while her poor parents (ok mom) were posting flyers with her picture all over town and crying non stop...
It was really cool when we went to the pound to find her though because there were a bunch of doors and we didn't know which ones to go down. Bear and I started talking and Boo starts freaking out barking, I knew it was her, and immediately found her. We were SO happy to see her and so happy to have her back. She's a little pain sometimes but man I realized how much I do love that little dog and would NEVER want her gone!!
In other news the house looks great and we just need to do a few more things. Getting a living room furniture set would be great but we'll see if that's priority right now. We also want to sell our car and truck to get a nicer vehicle for baby so we'll see. The saturn is dead in the driveway :( Starter's broke... The truck is sitting on the rim with a flat... Bear will fix sunday..right? :)

We are moving into the house little by little but for sure we will be all moved in and living there by next week! Steve and Bear have been working hard laying ceramic tile in the kitchen and getting everything looking great. Dad and I have been going hard at ALLL the painting. We've done the living room (which took forever) and are basically done with the bedroom. I just need to do the kitchen and we should be alright for now. We're getting a new garage door next week and NEW carpet sometime at the end of next week or beginning of the week after! The house is going to look sooo good. It will be fun to be rid of this little apartment next week and get used to living in a big house. Hopefully we can get it cozy and feeling like home in no time.

Domicile

I got back from the 11th day of being at the house working! Things are coming along VERY well. We have ceramic tile in our kitchen now, the living room is all painted, and bear and I's bedroom is almost done. We get new carpet in two weeks. We're going to move in gradually over the next week. The house is such a wonderful blessing and very very exciting! It will be nice when all the late nights are over and we get to relax in our new place. Bye!

It's a....BOY!

It was so funny because he was laying all relaxed with one hand behind his head and the other resting on his forehead. I said that looks just like Bear on the couch, he's a boy! And sure enough he is.

Working a lot this week and unfortunately a lot next week. The day after Xmas at 8 AM and Saturday!!! :( So much for Bear and I's mini-vaca... I need to get a real job that won't schedule me stupid days. I'll post the ultrasound pictures soon.

CHRISTMAS!

I decorated our Christmas tree!!!! :) My computer is almost out of battery so I can't write much. Coach is going great I mostly speak Japanese the entire time. Bear is working a lot and we are trying to find a HOUSE!
