I realize this picture is a little frightening...but it is how I feel recently.
So I am 31 weeks this week...9 weeks-ish and counting. We have been so busy lately and it's making the time go by so fast. Here are some of the things we have been doing:
1. Birthing class - I decided to take a Hypnobirthing class. Some of it is a little bit out there, but the basic premise is cool. Justin really likes the relaxation exercises...he has fallen asleep not once but twice. He also got to wear the empathy belly which was pretty funny. That's what he gets for making sarcastic remarks during class. Our instructor was asking us about pregnancy pains/problems...Justin pipes up and says that he is suffering from a serious lack of bed space. I have to have a pillow in front and behind me...it helps me sleep!! She made him wear the belly the whole class period (not because she is mean, but i think she just forgot to have him take it off - I thought it was fantastic!!).
2. Justin wore shorts for the first time this year (yes it is still February, but according to my polar bear husband...40+ degrees is definitely short and t-shirt weather). Just as a side note it was definitely a beautiful day...then a couple days later it snowed.
3. We had a great Valentine's Day...I worked all day and when I got home Justin made me a fantastic dinner! It was really good! Then we spent the evening watching Madagascar 2 and eating ice cream. What more could a girl ask for?? A clean house, a man in the kitchen and some ice cream...I can't think of anything better.
4. Getting ready for baby...weird. We realized that yesterday is exactly two months from my due date. That's close. My feeling is that she is going to come late. Like a week late...that's my hunch. Here are a few of the things we are in LOVE with...I couldn't post everything because then my post would be about a million miles long. Here are some recent things...
Sorry, my pics loaded the wrong way...when i was editing them they were the right way. What is going on??
5. Cleaning...I have started into the "nesting phase" and I really just want to organize all of our closets and clean the fridge...and scrub everything. I just really want to... but haven't yet. We have been busy. I am doing a few things at a time.
6. I have been going to the gym every morning with my neighbor downstairs. We have a gym in our apartment complex which is super convenient...if you are committed to going. Which I now really am because I know my friend will be waiting for me...she knows I am coming...so we have been really good and have only missed one day since we started!! It's fantastic and I have been feeling so much better too...one of those DUH things that is kinda hard to do.
7. I have a problem...a grapefruit problem. I have been eating about 2 of them a day...they are just so tasty. In the almost five years we have been married, I have NEVER bought a grapefruit. Actually, even before that....I have never ever bought a grapefruit...ever. They are just really good to me lately. MMMHHH, grapefruit.
8. There have been lots of other things we have been doing, but I can't remember them at the moment. Braincells...you know how it goes.
9. Dexter knows something is up and he is pretty perturbed about not being able to play with any of the new stuff that has come into our house recently. Funny story - Aunt Sara gave the baby a Fur-Real cat. It's basically a little mechanical kitten that moves and purrs and makes noises. It's pretty funny! Dexter freaks out when it moves and makes noise...he doesn't know whether to try to play with it or chew on it. It makes him crazy...so of course Justin uses it to torment him. It's just out of his jumping range here on the counter.

you seriously are so funny, you crack me up. i miss hangin' out with you.
I haven't even finished reading this post- but I got to the grapefruit part and HAD to comment. I had the same "problem" when I was pregnant with Crew. I still have a calous (sp?) on my finger from my grapefruit spoon! I haven't had a single one this pregnancy... this time it's artichokes. Weird. LOVE the skull cap!
Yeah for hypnobirthing! I swear by it. That is so funny about Justin, Garrett used to fall asleep every week in the relaxation excersizes! That is so funny about the grapefruit too. I have been craving them lately too and bought like four of them at the store today. I can't believe Justin is wearing shorts in 40 degree weather! I still have my wool socks on:) Happy nesting!
I love the baby stuff! So adorable. Grapefruit is my favorite. Are you sure you aren't having a boy? You know that old myth about citrus fruit...J/K
i want a girl just so i can have all of those cute girl things! i can't believe you only have 8 weeks left! holy cow girl! it's flying by! i don't remember dexter being so huge...what happened?:) fun to get updated on YOU!!!:)
Jess, Love to get updated about you guys. I am so happy you are doing well and getting SO close to your due date. That is very exciting. I have to tell you Ben, Parker and I finally went to MELT! It was so delicious. I had the best Italian Muffaleta sandwich. Probably in the 2,000 calorie range and totally worth it. Ben and I were saying it is probably better for our health that we don't live near it but we are definitely going back. We were huge fans and they even had soy cheese sandwiches for Parker. :) Gotta love that. thanks for the rec. Miss you guys!
CUTE baby things. I really LOVE the hats and jacket! And those other things? Wish I had a cousin like that! :)
It was so great to read your blog! And girlfriend (picture a soulful black woman snapping her fingers 3 times in a "z" pattern) the panic only gets worse as the days tick away! You'll realize it when your down on your hands and knees trying to scrub every black mark off the kitchen floor and you ask yourself, "What am I doing?" I may be talking from personal experience! HA!
