Coming along...32 weeks


The Iida family threw a baby shower in Hawaii for Dana and Brent (my cousins due in August) and me and Kirk. They were sweet to do that since we weren't even there! They put together a cute book with parenting tips from the family...very funny...and gave us a huge basket full of books. Mom sent me a couple things already and will bring the rest with her when they visit in October.
My pregnancy has been coming along fine. At our 32 week visit, my belly measured 32 centimeters which is right on target. The belly measurement should correlate with the number of weeks...funny how that happens. We started taking our classes - infant CPR last weekend and 3 other classes to go. We also took a tour of the hospital birthing center this morning along with a million other pregnant women.

The baby's room is coming along. We bought the baby bedding so we could match paint colors. Kirk is busy prepping the room and plans to paint soon.

three quarters of the way there!

With only 10 more weeks left we are finally making some progress on the baby room and getting the house ready.

Last weekend I grabbed a hammer and thought, hmm wonder how difficult it will be to take down the loft in the upstairs room. Next thing you know I was covered in sheet rock dust.
By the end of the weekend, the only thing left of the loft was a few holes in the walls. Today Mom and Dad came over with the truck so that we could rid ourselves of the debris with a quick trip to the dump. Next step paint!

We want your comments & quick trip to LA





Is anyone out there? We keep hearing that our dear friends and family are reading our blog but nobody has posted a comment except for a stranger in a foreign language. Please post comments so we can hear how you are doing too!!!



We took a short trip to LA where we got to spend time with my relatives, Kathie, Vern, Becca, Elizabeth, Auntie May and Uncle Wally. Kathie, Becca, Kirk and I went to Santa Monica to escape the heat of the valley.
