Betrayal... The Air Mattress Saga continues

Although my RLS has left me (knock on wood) I still enjoy laying on the air mattress when watching TV in the evenings, leaving the couch to Hubby.  Imagine my surprise when I came downstairs after my bath Saturday night to find this...


1. Hubby is on my air mattress.
2. Bmer is supposed to be my cuddle bug!


Bmer knows he's in trouble- betrayal!!!

The Finished Product

Moving large pieces of furniture does not induce labour- I figured this out for myself.  I had asked my hubby several times to remove a few things from the Nursery so I could get it finished, his response "ya ya ya".  So, like every intelligent woman before me, if you want something done do it yourself.

Here is the finished product:


Meet your tour guide Bmer welcoming you at the door.



Crib purchased by Pa and Ma C.  Notice the matching drawer underneath.


Rocking chair that belonged to my Great Grandmother (Ma C's grandmother).


To the left dresser donated by Pa and Ma C (was in my nursery) and change table purchased for us from Ma V.  Bmer is in the picture to give proper scale... so he says.


Artwork created by the soon-to-be Aunt L.  Hubby needs to attach the picture wire he bought...which means I will have to attach the picture wire he bought.


Lovely artwork from Ma C- again I will have to attach picture wire, unless a miracle takes place!


Cross Stitch made for me when I was a babe.


My teddy bear Harry, whom I slept with until I was married.  Yes, you can laugh.


Handcrafted pillow from Ma C placed inside crib.


Walk-in closet.  See all the diapers?!  Stefan's brother hosted a diaper-party for him, like a baby shower which involved the guys, diapers, and beer.  We received 820 diapers, of various sizes!!  Look at all the little clothes!!


Look at the cute little shoes!  Two pair of Robeez up front, and the white shoes were mine when I was a babe!



That concludes our tour!

Winners!

Today I went shopping at Winners/HomeSense and purchased some goodies for my 2 boys- Bmer and Baby Boy.  Sorry Stefan, maybe next time!

Here are two adorable Peter Rabbit outfits for Baby:

 See the little rabbit ears on the hood!



How cute.


And now for Bmer's new sweater and scarf combo... it matches the stroller!

 A little embarrassed!
The scarf is a real confidence builder!

Bmer is now a Big Boy

Bmer went up the stairs- by himself- twice!!

When Stefan and I first had Bmer we were living with his brother.  We tried and tried to teach Bmer to do the stairs, but he would only go up the first 4 and then stop on the little landing and refuse to go up the rest.
One day I was puttering around downstairs and wondered, 'hmm, it is very quiet around here...where is the pup'.  He was upstairs!  He went up all the way by himself!  Stefan and I were so proud.

About a year later we purchased our own home- and Bmer took one look at the stairs and said ' no siree bob'.
We coaxed, bribed, begged and pleaded- no way would get even go up one step.



Well.....tonight that all changed.   I was upstairs tidying/organizing the Baby`s nursery when I hear "go one up, go see Mommy, good boy"- and then Bmer appeared!  Stefan pushed Bmer's bum up the first few stairs and then he tore off by himself!  After much praise and giving him a treat we had to carry him back downstairs (one feat at a time I guess).  About an hour later, I went upstairs and called him, and up he trotted!   He then proceeded to sleep on the couch for the rest of the evening... apparently stairs tucker him out!

Week 35

I am 35.5 weeks!!
I saw my OB/GYN today and will now see him every week until baby is here.
Today's appointment was traumatizing: vaginal and anal swab to see if I have Strep B (can't pronounce or spell the full name).
On a positive note- baby appears to be head down!!  Next week is an in-office miniature ultra-sound to confirm the position of the baby.  I can't wait for this to be over!!

Air Mattress- The Saga

Stefan and Bmer have betrayed me.  Here is the proof:

I then told Bmer to 'give daddy kisses' at which point he attacked Stefan's face with kisses!  Unfortunately it didn't work- Stefan continues to be laying on MY air mattress.


On a happier note, here are some baby bump pictures:

Here I am at 34.5 weeks.
