90 days to go!

Well, it is actually only 87 now. Last week was a crazy one. Matt and I went to this fabulous place for dinner on Valentine's Day. It should have been super expensive, but for some reason they only make you pay your age after 8:00 p.m. It was awesome. We are pretty sure that we saw Al Franken there, too. So, I guess there are some cool things about NYC. The next day I went to a Knicks game with work since one of our printers invited us to share their skybox. It was the Knicks, so the game wasn't that great, but it was a fun experience. We also got most of the baby furiture that day. Sadly, going out twice in a row thoroughly exhausted me, so I don't remember much of Thursday. Matt came down to meet me for lunch on Friday, so that was really nice. He doesn't do that often because it is pretty far for just lunch. He went to MOMA after that and I think he had a pretty good time.
Anywhoski...we have spent most of the weekend catching up on Olympics and cleaning up our place. We are still getting organized--we never really did that when we first moved here. I have a pretty bad cold so I have been trying to rest and sleep it off (I can't take any medicine). Matt started to put the baby's furniture together, but some of the pieces were damaged. He had to take all the pieces out to make sure we saw all the damage, so the nursery is full of random pieces of wood. I ordered the replacement parts today, but it sucks that he had to stop before he really got started.
Also, Matt tried to upgrade the desktop processor and may have sent his old friend to a not-so-early grave. That would be sad. :( Oh, and Wahoo chewed my laptop cord again, so I had to steal the fancy Mac to write this post.
The baby is still a little kicker. If I push on my stomach when she is awake, she will kick my hand. If I rub a certain spot, she moves to be under my hand. I hope that means she is a cuddler! I can't wait to hold her in my arms, but I think Matt is ready to steal her from me the second the cord is cut. I have had her this long, so I guess I can share her.

Alright, here is the latest picture. I know, I know...I am huge, but most women who I talk to can't believe that I am 6 months--they think my tum is too small. I sure hope I don't get too much bigger because I feel like I am going to explode. I am standing in the nursery in this picture so you can see the color of the walls. :)

Snow Storm

Matt and I are sitting in our living room with our dog, watching our tivoed shows as well as the snow outside. It is just covered out there. It is beautiful and it is kind of fun to be closed in together. I will post pics soon, but I am using the Mac right now which isn't as compatible with our camera.
We went shopping yesterday to make one last effort at finding baby furniture in a local store before we order online. We were only successful at finding a good rocker. I still like the PBK one better, but it is pretty expensive. As for the crib, etc, it is just ridiculously more expensive than online...so, we will probably just have to order sight-unseen. We did get the paint while we were out, so I will probably tape today so Matt can paint next weekend. So wierd that we are getting so close!
We will probably rearrange our living room today. This is the exciting Manhattan life, I tell ya.
Talk to you all soon!

I'm back

After a crazy month of travel and overtime, I am back to blogging. Here is a pic of me at 25 weeks, although I am in my 27th week now. I will try to post another one soon. I feel huge and I swear there is no way that my body can hold her when she is 5 times the size she is now, but whatever. There was one moment where there was actually a big bump right in the middle of my upper belly that must have been her head. Pretty cool.



So, now that I am in the third trimester basically all I think about is getting the baby's room ready. We are going to go buy paint this weekend and probably most of the nursery furniture. So fun.

Alright, I am trying to think about something other than the baby...hmm...THE OLYMPICS! I cannot wait for them to start this weekend, especially now that we have tivo. So awesome. I love the olympics and I LOVE MICHELLE KWAN! I am hoping it is finally her turn to shine, but the pessimist in me (which is most of me, I'll admit) thinks that there is just too much pressure and she is going to fall on the first jump. Scary. I also LOVE the luge and the bobsled, so those will be fun. I just did the math and realized that I was a senior in college for the last winter olympics. It seriously took me three times to verify my calculation because I can't believe it has been that long since college. Crazy. I am old!

Here is a pic of my doggie:
