Almost 31 weeks!

I think I know what Eli's hiccups feel like now, and he definitely has them all. the. time. It sure is cute though.

Hitting the 30 week mark sure did feel like a giant milestone. I'd like to say it "sure doesn't feel like 30 weeks already" but... IT DOES! I am very glad I only have 10 or so weeks left. Lets hope for less! I do not do well as a pregnant woman. Sure, I like my cute belly and I'm so excited to have Eli, but being pregnant really sucks. I did not anticipate being in so much pain or getting so little sleep before he is even born! nobody tells you this stuff.
I finally went and bought 3 more pillows and FINALLY got some sleep last night. So i'm feeling pretty good, and my plan is to completely organize Eli's room and wash all of his clothes and blankets and such so I won't have to worry about it.

My husband is so awesome. This week has been his last week of school so that means tests everyday. So far he is getting way good scores and doing great! Today is his last big test and he studied like crazy so I hope he does really well. So during John's busiest and most stressful week, I have just about the worst week of my life too. (mostly from lack of sleep and a bad attitude) But John has been so patient and loving. What a great guy! He brought me flowers yesterday :) just to make me feel better, and it sure did work! I have such a wonderful husband, every girl (especially pregnant ones) deserve to have a husband like mine. he's great!

29 weeks, minnesota trip, baby shower :)

Well we just got back from Minnesota this morning at 5, then I started my new babysitting job at 730. yep, I only got about an hour of good sleep. It's been a long day! But i love my job, the kids are so adorable!

Our little vacation was really awesome. We went to John's sister's wedding on Saturday and then went camping at lake Itasca. We were both very sad to go home :( It was so awesome to finally meet John's brother, David. And John loved seeing him after 8 years or so... they were inseparable the entire time. so cute.

I'm 29 weeks now and feeling pretty huge and tired. We now have almost everything we need for Eli thanks to all the grandparents and sisters. I can't wait! Getting the carseat last week (thanks mom and dad) made everything seem so REAL! I can't believe he'll be here in just a couple more months.

Last week we moved to a WAY better apartment and we are very very happy about it. Right now it looks pretty awful. nothing is unpacked because we've been so busy. I have a lot to do in the next few weeks but boy oh boy is it nice to have air conditioning and clean carpet! Yippee. No more smelly nasty moldy hot stinky apartment! wahoo!

We also had a baby shower last week with our st anthony friends. It was way fun! Here are the highlights!

 Mom did not like the idea of this poopy diaper game. It's just chocolate!

 hmm delicious... looks like caramel

smell it. smell it good.

Presents! thanks everybody!

Here are a couple of pictures from the wedding. John and I were the photographers.

Pregnancy brain: forgot to put the seasonings in the stir fry tonight. Oops. We ate it all before we realized it was missing flavor. Must be because we are SO tired!
