33 weeks

Wow, 2 whole months without posting and then two in one week! How lucky for you blog readers out there!;) We finally found the charger for our camera (well, I finally decided to actually look for it, it was pretty much exactly where I suspected it would be) so here are some pictures:



This is at 33 weeks...only 7 more to go! I'm so ready to be done being pregnant. And here's a picture of the super cute tiger rug we got for the baby's room. We got it at Costco, but I made the mistake of not buying it when I first saw it. They had lions and tigers and bears, but every time we went back, they were all out of tigers. The lions and bears weren't nearly as cute, though. Luckily, Aislinn was vigilant about checking every time she went to Costco, and finally they had another tiger! So, we got it, and it's pretty much the cutest rug ever.




Here's Marc with the tiger rug...I'm not quite sure what he's doing.

Because it's been two months since our last post...

I guess two months between posts is too long, based on some of the complaints I've been getting ;)...but we haven't really been doing much, besides STILL being pregnant, which I'm starting to think is never going to end. I'm really, really ready for it to be June already.

We had a fun baby shower in Baytown, here are some pictures:






We got some really nice gifts, including an awesome stroller/carseat combination. Now we can actually bring her home from the hospital. Yay! As you can see by the pictures, we had the cutest cake ever, courtesy of Miss Angie. It could seriously have been on the Food Network or something. Melissa and I felt like it was way too pretty to actually cut and eat, but we did anyway.

We're starting to feel like we're almost prepared to actually have a baby come live with us...Aislinn and Curtis were nice enough to loan us a cradle for her to sleep in...I guess after 5 and a half kids, you start to have a lot of baby stuff on hand :). Marcus put it together this week, so her room is pretty much all ready for her...although, since we're moving in July, it felt kinda pointless to get so organized. Oh well, I guess it will be good for that whole month or so that we'll still be living here.

In other news, our fish, Steve, died. He was a decoration at our wedding, and Mom and Dad were nice enough to keep him alive while we were in Utah. He started looking really awkward, and just hanging in his tank vertically, sticking his nose out of the water occasionally. Also, he was looking all green around the gills (turns out that's not just a saying). He looked pretty awful for several days before he finally died. I looked up beta fish killers online, and we're pretty sure he died from either ammonia or nitrite poisoning...we found out that he probably hemorrhaged to death, which is sad for him. Sad for us was that we had just bought brand new fish food for him, and he never even ate any of it before he died.

Hmmm...I think that's it for now...we just found the charger for our camera, so maybe we will take some pictures soon and post those....
