35 Weeks

I want to dedicate this post to my parents. I have so much to be thankful for and must attribute much of it to them. Although sometimes it gets me in trouble (like when I really do need help or sometimes I think I know better) I am very thankful that my parents taught me to be self sufficient. Please don't get me wrong, I am so thankful for Isaiah and all that he does for our family, but sometimes I end up having to do---um, I mean, I want it done now so I just do it.---A few weeks ago, my silverware drawer fell through the cabinet. Bummer. The little plastic thingy in the back of the cabinet that holds the drawer slider thingies cracked and broke. I went to home depot and to get a new drawer slider thingy holder. Well, they didn't have the size that I needed. I proceeded to Lowes. They also did not have the right side. I was told that I could go downtown to this specialty hardware cabinet store. That does not sound like fun to me at all. So, I decided that I would just replace the whole dang slider thingy on the drawer. Today at Home Depot, I tried to find help but could not find anyone. "I'm smart and capable of finding the right size drawer slider thingies. I can do this." Well folks, I did. I also got some new sand paper, painters tape, paint thinner, and new paint brushes! Let the weekend of home projects commence! Hubby will definitely be helping with the projects this week. So, thanks Mom and Dad for teaching me how to get things done!

I have been told recently by several different people that when I become a mother, I will truly understand how much that I am loved by my own parents. I already have a small taste of what it's going to be like. I am excited to love my son unconditionally and really, truly understand how much I am loved by my parents as well as how much I am loved by our Savior. I can't wait!!!

The little guy is doing just fine. He is measuring right on track still. I am really exhausted again. I have to take a break from whatever I am doing several times a day. My poor little feet are taking the brunt of the pain. They aren't used to all this extra weight. Other than being tired, I can't complain! I start my weekly doctors appointments on Monday. I am looking forward to those! (Minus some of the tests, which I am thankful I already know about....Group B strep...would not have been a welcome surprise!) Once again, I didn't spell check! I'm sure there's something wrong.....love me anyway. I gotta get dinner out of the oven. This is what we're having and it's SO GOOD! http://www.plainchicken.com/2009/08/chicken-rollups-2.html
