week 35

~ A little over a month left to go. I pray every night (and morning and just about every minute I think of it) that this little girl feels the best time to come will be the last week of April or my 37th week.

~ We decided to move up the road into a townhouse at the married student housing the school offers. There were a lot of pros and cons about the move and it took me a few days after signing the contract that I felt right about it, but I'm exited.

Pros

- Its a TOWNHOUSE! It has house in its name! No more apartment, more homey feeling. 

-Lots and LOTS more storage (this place has zero and I was getting worried)

- Closer to campus we don't have to drive meaning no more parking passes

-The church building is down hill and closer so we wont be as sweaty by the time we get to church!

(so can not WAIT to walk to church every Sunday!!!)

- Separate living room from dining room and kitchen so you can actually entertain people

- Same price we are paying now

- We can wash clothes or run the dishwasher as any time of the day and not have to wait until 11 pm!

( so much better since I'm doing cloth diapers!)

- Bigger washer and dryer

- Has real tile and soft carpet you actually want your feet to touch

- Has a playground close to our building

- We will have a pantry that is huge!

- 1 and a half bath so guest have one downstairs too

Cons

- We have to supply our own washer and dryer

-stairs take up living room space and I have to climb them more

- Kitchen is smaller and still not many cabinets 

-Long and skinny and not open

- no covered parking for winter

- no assigned parking

- moving again and unpacking again

All in all it was a good trade. I'm glad I put our names on the waiting list last semester and that BJ was on top of things and called to get us in. We scored big time getting a townhouse. There aren't as many and the flats aren't worth the trade off. So I'm a happy girl even if I have to move again while pregnant.

~ I'm having many days of pain. One girl at church freaked out and asked if I was in labor and if I needed my husband. No I'm not in labor just a whole lot of pain. 

~She is perfecting her dance moves. She is getting better at them everyday and never fails to put on a show when music is playing that she likes such as church music and rock.

~ We finished our birthing classes. The last class she gave us baby dolls and walked us through how to give our baby a bath. The dads were the ones practicing and it made my heart happy to watch BJ be super gentle with the baby doll and carefully follow each instruction. He was the only dad that actually did each step. He also grabbed the biggest baby in the pile by passing the smallest one. He said that baby was more realistic for his daughter. haha so true. 

~ I was going to use this week to make the baby's room all cute and ready for her but now everything is in boxes. I guess I'll do her room next week.

~The closer it gets the farther away it seems! I keep daydreaming of cuddling with her. BJ keeps telling me all the things that will be different once she gets here. I think he is a tad worried he will lose his partner in crime but I keep trying to reassure him he just will have 2 now instead of one. =]

~ Realized today that I am so so glad we were sent a little girl. I finally got to see Tangled and BJ could not stay out of my face the whole movie. I can't even count how many times he got in front of me and covered the screen. I realized having a boy would mean double that. We shall see how much this girly follows her daddy. Hopefully not too much! lol

~ I am now taking one class this next semester. As I tried to defer they informed it was not a good choice and by taking at least one class I can do fast grad and not have to worry about starting to pay off my student loans. I thought I had to take 8 credits but w realized it would just be cheaper to pay out of pocket for 2 credits. I think I can handle one class! 

~ My birthday is in a week! BJ's mom is bringing Danny up for school and will be here this weekend and she flys back on the 18th so BJ said he would take me out to eat at a real restaurant (IF has lots Rexburg has 2) and then I can go to this tiny spa up here and get my toes done. Thanks to my friend Jessica Clerc for spending me money I get to do the fancy pedicure and I couldn't be more excited!!!!!!!!
