The Last Month

Please forgive my long absence. My husband and I have been working on a new budget to prepare for baby Gabe. One of the things deemed not necessary is internet because once I go back to school, I'll have it all the time. So, here I am bored out of my mind, waiting on a baby to arrive with no internet access at the house. I have to transport our laptop to places to get on and check everyone's updates. I think I will adjust to this development eventually, but right now, I hate it!!!

We had a good fireworks season. I of course thought it was way too hot, and was glad that Ty and our friend Josh insisted that I spend lots of time in the hotel in the air conditioning. I am glad that we went ahead and decided to sell fireworks this year. It turned out to be quite lucrative for us.

Baby update: I'm 34 weeks which is a milestone because that means Gabe's lungs are developed enough to need little or no support if he was born now. The doctor would like for him to stay put for at least another two weeks. I on the otherhand would be completely happy to have the soccer games in my belly cease. I feel good, but I tire easily. I try to take naps and sleep through the night, but my bladder and comfort does not allow for that. I think our house is hot, but friends think it is cold enough to hang meat. We are almost completely finished with the room. I'll take pictures when we are finished. We are wanting 2 Japanese lanterns for night lights. I also need a power cord, lightbulbs, and to finish painting the trim. Since these are all cosmetic and utility type issues, Gabe could come at any time and have a place to stay that is ready for him. My blood pressure is great (122/70) and so is my weight (19 lbs). The only problem I am facing is a little back pain and swollen hands and feet(but that varies on a day to day basis). I will let you know when the tyke makes his arrival. I know that God has a plan for that, but it would work out quite well for mine and Ty's jobs if he chose the 15th of August.
