28 weeks down...and 12 to go....and that means 10 weeks left of work!!! cant wait!!!

Now im starting to get a bit nervous...12 weeks...wow, its coming up fast...i have set the start for my mat leave as Dec 10...it gives me 2 weeks before the due date to do any "last minute" stuff...and Jeff is going to be around for the whole month of Dec just in case...he usually goes on a road trip the beginning of Dec for a tour of the colleges and universities to show new product to the buyers before the big show in March...they like the one-on-one time with Jeff so they can ask questions and see stuff from the smaller lines that we might not have displayed at the big show...we usually have the main 5 or 6 venders on display cause they can take up alot of room...

anyways back to baby-goodness....he is getting very busy in my belly...he moves and streches and when i poke him, he kicks me right back...its kinda funny....Jeff has even been known to put his head on my belly and listen for him every once in a while...im okay with it as long as hes not to scruffy cause its not nice on my belly to have beard stubble pressed into my belly...it leaves funny marks...ha ha...but Jeff has been kicked in the head by Jonathan a few times while talking to him about everything and nothing all at the same time...

Mom and Dad have delivered the baby furniture safe and sound...now its in my hallway waiting for the baby room making party in Oct long-weekend...That will be interesting...we have to get rid of couch and loveseat from the basement to make room for Jeffs office to go downstairs in the rec room...and the wash and patch the walls in the nursery before we paint (Im thinking of a soft yellow colour...its a North-facing room and with winter around the corner, it might make it cheerier)...and then we assemble the crib and dresser (from Mom and Dad) and the matching change table (from Les, Aaron and the boys)...and move them in...the rocking chair from Lucie will fit in the nursery too (thanks Lucie)...and then I get to go through all the baby clothes from one of Les' day-care Moms (thanks Michelle), all 7 diaper boxes of them!!! I am glad I booked the whole weekend off cause thats alot of stuff to do...and the we still havent had the turkey yet...I think thats happenning at Les again...that way Joey and Alex are in their familiar surroundings...it will be a crazy gong-show no matter where it is...but theres always lots of family and food and drinks (punch for me and Jonathan...ha ha)...

I think its time to get out of my jammas and get my day started...
