just 5 more weeks til the big Due Date!

Like the title says, I've got just 5 more weeks left until my due date! Here's a pic of me taken today:My ultimate wish is that he will come between the time my mother in law gets here (the 7th of April) and my due date (16 April). That way we have someone to help us with the labor and delivery part of this adventure since we weren't able to get into a birthing class (although I found out that there is someone I can call that will make a house call to help us with that issue...I should get on that). I'm really hoping that the baby doesn't feel like camping out in my womb past the 40 week mark (I'm keeping my fingers crossed that he doesn't)! The end is almost here and then I will be snuggling my little man in my arms instead of my belly :)

In other news, I got the car back from the body shop this past Wednesday! It only took almost 5 weeks for them to fix it...but it's all better now. Well almost all better. It needs a new transmission, but when I took it to the service center this morning it was super busy (thanks to Furlow Fridays...grr) so it took them 4 hrs to do the computer check just to tell me that they would need to spend another 3-4 hrs looking at something before they even got to the transmission!! I opted to just bring the car back on Monday morning for them to do that. Hopefully it won't take too long for them to do whatever it is they have to do so I can get it all fixed. After getting the car back today I made the "mistake" of going to Costco (forgetting about the Furlow Friday thing again) because it seemed like everyone and their Mom was there!! Most of my time was spent in line, but luckily the lines were moving pretty fast so I wasn't there for too long :) Now I'm going to go find an afternoon snack and take a nap before Luke gets home. Have a good weekend everyone!

Rain, rain and more rain!

The rainy season has begun (much to my dismay). It's been raining ALOT lately (started on Thursday last week) and hasn't really felt like letting up for very long. I think the record from the 1950's or so for the most rainfall was broken on Thursday too (by like 2 in). Roads have been flooded, the water pipe at work burst, causing a major traffic jam since now the fastest way to work is road blocked (now I get to take a 20 min detour to add to my already 50 min drive...ugh) It's been raining so much it's scary. and some people don't feel the need to drive safely too...when they can't even see the road because of all the rain. I hope I don't hydroplane one of these days...or ever...I can't wait for the rainy season to end. It doesn't help that Luke's truck broke down on last week so we've been sharing my car...which means I have been getting up WAY early to take him to work just so I can have the car to get me to work..ugh. Today was especially annoying since I had to take the first part of my language proficiency test this afternoon, but had to be up at 5:30 am to take Luke to work. I will be taking the second and final part tomorrow. And since I am testing tomorrow I should get to bed. I need my sleep...since I was so tired at work after my test and was struggling to stay awake. So I shall say good night. I will let you all know how I did on my tests tomorrow. Later
