34 weeks, that means only 42 days left!

Scott reading the directions on how to put the crib together. You can see the brown in the background on the bead board.
Our supervisor for the weekend. Stetson moved around the room and watched my mom so carefully. Not only did he wind up with a pink tail, he also checked to make sure the brown was dry and wound up with a brown stripe.

We had such a productive weekend at our house! My mom and brother are amazing and offered to come over and help to get things ready for Mackenzie. Scott and a great friend, Keith, put up the bead board two weeks ago and then Scott and I calked and patched nail holes on Friday night. I learned something new, that I hate calk!! All I wanted to do was to paint, but we had to do all this preparation for it. Bead board sounds good in theory and looks amazing, but it's a huge pain in the hiney to do! As many of you know, Scott's a project manager for a home remodeling business, so he sees all these great home improvements and only wants the best of the best for our house. By the time we finished calking on Friday night, it was everywhere, and if you don't get it out of your clothes or off of your body fast enough it hardens and is a pain to get off. My mom and Scott primed the bead board on Sunday and it smelled so bad. Of course I didn't have any part of rolling it on, but it smelled like you had Sharpies up your nose! After the priming, we FINALLY got to paint! Remember, that's the only thing I wanted to do, I love to paint. The color brown we used, looks just like chocolate cake batter and we are all impressed on how it turned out. Scott and I put the crib together on Sunday night and my mom bought the mattress on Monday. Now we just need to get the bedding finished, a dresser, and chair!

I have my first shower this weekend, and I absolutely cannot wait! We go back to the doctor on Monday and we have to do our hospital consent forms. Scott, Mat, Carmen, and I are going on the 16th to take a tour of the hospital. I knew this was a good idea when Scott said that all he had to do was drop me off at the Emergency Room enterance, this only made me a little nervous. :)

Beach Pictures

I know it's a month since we went to the beach, but as promised, I finally have pictures from Nags Head, NC! We had to break down our office to make a room for Mackenzie, and that meant we had to move our computer and do some serious downsizing. We had to find new homes for a lot of our junk and it was so nice that we were able to throw out stuff that needed to be trashed. Because we had to move things around, we had to move our computer into our room and when we did, something happened to our hard drive. I didn't want to download any pictures without putting them on a disk, but I'm tried of not being able to post any pictures! I didn't take nearly as many pictures at the beach as I have in the past, but below are the few that I did take. Scott and I had our chairs in the water all day everyday and I didn't want to ruin our camera.

Ronnie, Rick, Scott, Brewer, Cameron, Kent, and Benny waiting for a wave to body surf.

Our personal chefs for the week. Scott LOVES to cook so he was in his element by the grill. This night we had bacon wrapped scallops hot off the grill, they were amazing! Note the boxers hanging out of his pants....gotta love him! Let me explain. There was a very pretty lady wearing next to nothing on the beach down from us lula looping with at times, 3 lula hoops. Scott found me tails for a kite and Rick dared me to show pretty girl that I still have my moves at 3o weeks pregnant. I only wish I had a camera to capture the laughter from everyone who watching me.

Scott's poor lips get so sunburned every summer, and it makes me nervous. The mom in me insisted that he wear sunscreen and he wanted to make sure that he didn't miss a spot. Not to mention, at this point he had a few beverages in him.
We were all sitting on the porch one night and watched this amazing storm roll in. We all thought this looked like the scene out of Independence Day.
Scott body surfing. I know this is him, because he was the only one that would stick him arm out in front of him. And as a side note, there are no pictures to prove it, but I body surfed as well! I would catch the wave and then roll out of it before it washed me up on shore. Scott was so happy that he found perfect shells.
The only picture of the two of us. :(
My most favorite place ever! Can't wait until next year with Mackenzie.

32 Weeks

Only 8 weeks to go! The first week of July Scott and I went to Kitty Hawk, NC to celebrate the 4th of July. It was our 4th year going and last without a baby. We went with our friends Rick and Trish and 12 other people. I have to say, I slept the best I have since I found out I was pregnant. I think falling asleep to ocean and our extra comfy bed might of had something to do with it. As far as sleeping goes, I feel like a rotisseri chicken! I toss and turn all night long, my legs get crampy if I stay in one position for too long, my arms go to sleep, and my back burns, oh and I can't forget the crazy leg cramps! I've been eating bananas like crazy hoping that the leg cramps will subside, but no such luck yet. As I've found out, the 2nd trimester is definitely the easiest...at least it was for me. I have to remind myself throughout the day to stop and take a break. Although, while we were at the beach, I hung with the best of them. I went in the ocean everyday and I don't think Mackenzie minded. Scott and I played ball a few days on the beach and had to stop because I was giving everyone anxiety. Everytime I moved, I got in trouble for running, jumping, getting too close to water, and the list went on. I have pictures and will be sure to get them on here, I just haven't downloaded them yet.

Scott and I are headed to a wedding for a high school friend of mine on Saturday, and on Sunday we're spending the afternoon with Scott's brother's family. We still haven't done anything but paint Mack's room, but now that the vacations are out of the way, we're in serious baby prep mode! Scott has to put up the beadboard, and I have to decorate still. We have her crib, but I'm still on a hunt for a chair and a dresser. I'm just not pleased with the selection of children's furniture out there. Let's just hope that Mackenzie decides not to join us in the this crazy, wonderful world too early!
