For the last couple months, I've had a case of the "dropsies." I drop everything--my coworkers know better than to hand me anything, I dropped and broke our recently fixed camera (Andrew broke it the first time around, but I did it in), and, finally a good drop--baby has dropped! I still want her to wait a couple more weeks to give me time to prepare at work and at home, and I'm waiting for our new camera to arrive in the mail. Otherwise I'll be making Andrew stop at Wal Mart on our way to the hospital!
Nesting: I thought I'd be ok if I tried to clean and organize a little every week as I go. I never imagined nesting to make me so....crazy. I suddenly found the energy to scrub my house clean after I get home from work. I don't know where the energy comes from since, up until recently, I was feeling tired and worn out again, but now, a long day at work hardly keeps me down! I can go until I just drop into bed.
Leg cramps: The one thing that has interrupted the nesting. It started last week when a calf cramp woke me in the middle of the night. First it was one leg, then after a few days, it was the other, and each one took more than a day for the soreness to clear. I just tell myself it's another sign that I'm nearing the end!
And I realized that for my 30th birthday, I also became 37 weeks pregnant, with only 3 weeks to go until my due date. =) I couldn't ask for a better gift! How weird it is to think I'm no longer a twenty-something year old...but I'm looking forward to an exciting year!
I can't wait for the long holiday weekend with this beautiful weather. I hope everyone has a wonderful Easter!

Timing
I promise I'll try to get better about updating the blog as the time gets closer. I can't believe my pregnancy countdown is now under 40 days. =) Right now, I feel like I just keep getting bigger and slower. We're getting closer to ready, but so much has been keeping us otherwise occupied.
Some of you know that for more than a year now (you could even say since before the restaurant closed), we've been plodding along with planning a new business. We've looked at countless places for the business, then decided Andrew would have to live out of the garage in the meantime since he plans to stay home with the baby when I go back to work. So we put a lift into the garage. (Someday I'd really LOVE to park my car in the garage). Over the last couple months, things have picked up for him to the point he needs another lift, and he's getting overwhelmed, which is a good problem to have.
Then our realtor called wanting us to look at a place that she thought would be perfect. It's only 5 minutes from home, and in a fabulous, quiet, clean industrial area. It's not currently used as an automotive repair shop (that's our business), which I like because there is no stigma attached, but the set-up is perfect. I thought we'd wait until after the baby comes, but things just happen, and it all came together too easily. Perhaps it's God's timing, why not let everything happen all at once!??....and it has certainly added to our to do list! Nothing is finalized as we must first apply for a Special Use permit, which I hope will go through without a problem. One of us will have to meet with the board, hopefully at the next meeting which is the 2nd Tuesday in April....soooo....we'll see if baby cooperates. :) We're praying that everything continues to come together smoothly.
That's just one more reason why I've been bad about blogging! When I'm online at home anymore, it's to do research. I'm sure when our little girl comes, we'll be ready and not scrambling TOO much for last minute things. Haha! This does mean we may be taking a trip down to Indy for equipment--so perhaps we can get together with anyone who is in the area. I'll let you know!
Until then...I'll keep up my little countdown! I hope everyone is well, and have a happy St. Patrick's Day!
