The Hills 6-11-09

Hi there! Not too much new going on here, but I thought I would touch base. I have been out of town, so no new pictures - sorry!

*3rd Trimester is here! Today is 29 weeks and the start of the third trimester. I am excited to be a little closer to done, but still quite a ways to go. I had a doctors appointment today and did the glucose test; I'm glad that is done!! Now I start going every two weeks to the doctor.

*Work. I was in Saskatoon Sunday thru Tuesday night. I am so glad to be home :) Flying is not very comfortable and I had a hell of a time getting home. We left Saskatoon late, then there were storms in Denver (where I had a layover). So they diverted us to Colorado Springs, but then they didn't have Homeland Security there and no customs, so it was back to Denver and circle for about 90 minutes. We finally got to Denver, got my bags, went through customs, rechecked my bag and got to the gate with about 8 minutes to spare. They check us through and down a few flights of stairs down to a tunnel to walk out to the plane. Only there was no plane. Our plane was actually at that particular gate in Colorado Springs. WTF? So back up to the main terminal to wait some more. Oh, and not a single TV to watch the Wings :( Finally got our plane there, got on and then we were 14th in line for take-off. Ugh. Oh well; we made it safe and sound so I shouldn't complain!

*Home. The new bedroom is getting closer to being done. Rob and Josh worked on it last weekend and got the first coat of drywall mud on. Rob sanded it last night and now it just needs some more drywall. I really hope it's ready to paint and get ready soon! The new room will be Justin's new room. He's excited. I think we might get a queen bed frame for him. We have a perfectly good queen size matress and he likes the bigger bed (didn't want to give up the Aerobed after his nap with Lauren a few weeks ago!). That way we have a place for visitors to stay too! We'll see what I can find :) I have a vision of a bunk bed with the twin on top and a full/queen on the bottom, but I'm not sure that's in the budget right now!

*Yard. We got one quote for our yard and it was lower than I was expecting! Still a lot of money, but it's doable. I called today and am waiting for a call back to schedule the work. Our yard is dry now (other than the sump discharge), but I would rather just get it done and over with.

*Roof. We knew when we moved in that the house would need some roof work in the somewhat near future. Our next door neighbors had a guy out to do a quote for them and he did ours too. He told her that our roof has shingles lifting, but it's really not that bad and can wait another year or two - yeah!!! Plus the quote for the whole roof job (not just shingles) is under $6K, so I think that's good??? Anyone with experience is welcome to comment!

*Daycare. Still in an adjustment period. It's not horrible, but it's still not the warm and fuzzy feeling we had before the switch. I think I just need to get used to the fact that Ericka and Steph have a gift and not many people are going to stack up to them!

*Tupperware party! Ms. Steph started selling tupperware recently and I am having a party on Wednesday the 17th. If anyone is interested in placing an order, let me know! You can go online and see the catalog and I'll try to post the sales and specials this weekend. Thanks in advance!

I'll try to post pics soon :)

I think that's all for now!

Josh is great at fixing roofs. He did my parents several years ago before they moved. Too bad we don't live closer :(

As for daycare...I can relate now. The girls moved up, which they had been transitioning for a while now. Well there was one teacher which was just awesome with the kids. She decided to stay home with her child and go back to school. Then, the driector has resigned because she is going to stay home with her kids and find something with less hours. I love her. Now I have to adjust to someone else :( On a positive note, the twins are doing great in the new room...don't get me wrong, the other teachers are awesome too....but you always have that one teacher that your kids are drawn to....so I will have to see which teacher they are drawn to now :)

I can't believe you're in your 3rd tri already! Since you're a private blog your posts don't show up on my blog roll so I often go a long time before coming back to visit. You've got a lot going on but glad to hear all is well in your pregnancy! And yeah, forget about the weight...eat and enjoy! :)
