25 weeks?

I've lost count at how many weeks pregnant I am. Isn't that bad? I am signed up on a website that e-mails me "what's happening at __ weeks" updates, so that usually reminds me how far along i am. But those come on Tuesday, and since it's Monday I can only guess. I think I'm 25 weeks. I'll know tomorrow. Thank goodness for technology! hahaha
Here's a picture of me and Trish (my sister-in-law) at a wedding this past weekend. Notice I'm not wearing a dress. It's not fun trying on big muu-muus, so I'm sticking w/ pants or skirts from here on out.
Trish is also pregnant, also having a boy (she just had her ultrasound today) and is due 6 weeks behind me. Hmm....which would make this her 20 week ultrasound, which would maybe make me at 26 weeks????
Another cool fact, Joe's friend Aaron's (they've been friends since kindergarten and Aaron and I went to college together) wife is also pregnant and due 4 days before me (Hey Sara, how pregnant are we??) and she's also having a boy. I think we've got a junior wiffle ball team on our hands.

Happy Birthday to Me

Here's a photo re-cap of my past week, celebrating turning 29.

Last night, at the Japanese Steakhouse, with the family.
















































Last weekend, a birthday party for myself and Katie. Her birthday is July 6, so we usually do a joint birthday thing with our friends. This year,we went to the Mexican restaurant to celebrate.

























And finally, our re-painted, redecorated bedroom. I love IKEA!!!

hi.

I'm here, if anyone is even still reading my blog. I am a lazy lazy blogger, and I have no excuse for it. Well, our laptop isn't completely internet-ready yet, but that's not a very good excuse, is it? And I have about 300 pictures to choose from to post on here, but along with being a lazy blogger, I'm a lazy photo-transferrer and they're all still on my camera, and not on a computer. I'm just lazy, that's all there is too it. But let's blame the baby, OK? :)

We've been busy the last couple weeks...Joe painted the baby's room- it's a light gray with white trim- and it looked so good, it made our own room look pretty crappy, so we emptied out our room and repainted that....and then we got a new bedframe and some nightstands and just re-did the whole bedroom. It looks so much better now. I would say I'd post a picture of it, but we know that won't happen this week, right?

Also, our bathroom is torn up this week, getting new flooring in and patching a hole in the window/wall, which got there from a leaky window. It's more of just a patch job, until next summer when we have more time and we (Joe) can re-do the whole bathroom.

Other than that I've just been trying to stay semi-cool. We don't have air conditioning, so basically I sit in front of a fan most of the time I'm at home. I spent this afternoon out at mom and dad's in the pool, which is a huge improvement over my hot house.

The highlight of my last week was when we were in Michigan, and we got to spend a day at my own personal Disney World.....IKEA!!!!! I love it there. Of course we had dinner in the Ikea Cafe' and we stayed until closing time. (That's where we bought the bedroom furniture, etc.)

This weekend Lisa's coming home (yay!) and the family's going to the Japanese Steakhouse for dinner on Saturday for my birthday. I can't wait. And Rylee loves it as much as we all do...she thinks she's at Emeril's and yells "BAM!" to the grill chef. It's hilarious. Maybe I'll take pictures. Maybe you'll see them.
