Still here! Still knocked up!

What a month. What a week. What a day.

* I'm still pregnant. Six weeks to go! Bean is an active little dude all of a sudden, and he likes to try to push his head through my belly button. That's been fun. He loves chocolate ice cream (any food, really), and when Justin and I talk to each other.

* My dad was here for seven days. In those seven days, he and Justin ripped down the basement ceiling and most of the ductwork. Then they created their own new ductwork because our house is crazy and old and the term "standard size" means nothing around here. They also put in lots of great new lighting. All that's left is to put up the new ceiling, which, they tell me, is the easy part. I think that happens in a few weeks. There was also some minor plumbing work for our new washer and dryer (love!). My father is a saint and a hero and my husband is quickly following in his footsteps.

* Justin has been working his ass off getting the house ready for this baby. Shuffling most of the rooms around has required a lot of painting and moving of furniture, and he's done it all pretty much by himself. I can barely stay awake long enough to work, and this kid is painting ceilings at 1 a.m. I don't know how I got this lucky.

* The air conditioner broke yesterday. But it is fixed today!

* Rooms are a mess, storage is every which way, but the majority of my craft stuff is now in the basement and I am so, so pleased with how it turned out. I'm slowing putting away everything, but I do have some pictures to share. Once I find my camera.

* We've had doggie guests for 10 days and poor G is so exhausted that she didn't even get up to greet the air conditioning man. She's now passed out in front of the vent, waiting for the house to cool down.

* I'm exhausted, too. Between house guests and working and trying not to freak out about the general clutter around here, I'm finding it hard to stay awake during daylight hours. Of course, I get my second wind about 8 p.m., which isn't really helping anyone.

* Six weeks! I have no idea what's going to happen after that.

Awww. I LOVE your blog/journal! I love reading this!
Your dad and Justin sound pretty great, and you're pretty great, too! That little baby is one lucky guy.
I'm excited to see pictures of everything!
