27 Weeks, 3 Days

I'm SO tired today!! The house is a mess and it feels like I just can't keep up! I've still got to clean our baseboards - but it's SO hard to do that with a belly! I think I've got to start lifting some weights or something to get my arms stronger, because they get tired so fast and I know I'll need those muscles when the baby arrives.


It's 76 degrees here in Garland, TX today. Aurelio took the Audi TT to work - to enjoy a little 'top down' time. So I was left with the Mazda 6...I thought guys were supposed to be obsessed with keeping their cars clean...not my hubby...what a mess!! Now I understand why he doesn't enjoy driving his car all the time. Also, Mr. Reis, consider yourself busted - I found the stash of candy in your arm rest. You can't keep chocolate bars in a hot car...they melt hun. Now I know where all the sympathy baby weight is coming from ;). I couldn't believe what a collection he had!! lol!

I went down to the farmers market today to get the fruit I needed for the fruit pizza and was really surprised at the quality and prices. MUCH better than going to a grocery store; though they did run out of raspberries before I arrived. Makes me reminisce about the raspberry patch we had as kids - we produced SO many we had to freeze them and give them away! I even remember our neighbors coming and helping themselves to some of the patch. They sure were delicious! I just didn't like all the bees that seemed to enjoy them as well. Poor Dad would always be the one out there in between the rows picking berries - getting scratched by their thorns and having bees flying all around him...I thought he was just the bravest! And I thoroughly enjoyed the fruits of his labor ;). Thanks Dad!

Aurelio and I have talked about planting a herb garden, with maybe some lettuce and tomatoes. We don't quite have the room for a raspberry garden...but hopefully we'll be able to plant some edible things. Would be nice to have fresh herbs and veggies all the time.

8 more days until our next sonogram!! I'm really looking forward to seeing the baby again. They say by now the baby looks pretty much like how it will when it's born. Will just have more muscles and fat...I'm not sure I can handle more muscles - she/he is pretty strong already!

29 days until I fly to NH to see everyone!! :)
