Gary's Words of Wisdom

Let me set the scene:
Gary is watching me on the computer (researching cloth diapers) as I rub my round belly.

He says, "Is this real, I mean, is that for real?"

I reply, "Yes, yes it is."

He says, "It's so surreal." Followed by, "That's Greek for Super Real!"

And that, ladies and gents, is my life:)

XOXO

The big 2-9!

No, I don't mean my birthday. That was August 11 for those who forgot:) Just kidding! I mean the big week 2-9! Yesterday marked week 29 in this here pregnancy thing. I feel like I am growing exponentially. Little Boy Barnes shifts and sits in funny ways making my balance go wonky. And, yes, I said wonky. He moves and wiggles and jiggles, and I love it. I love the way he sits on my bladder, and the way he crowds my lungs, and the way he shoves his little foot/fists into my ribs. I know, you're probably thinking, "nice sarcasm Kim". But I really do mean it. His movin and groovin connects me to him. Even as I type, I see my belly shift from side to side as he snuggles in. When Gary is able to catch a movement, either by feeling it or seeing it, his eyes light up. He can't believe that's our little boy. Neither can I. It's all happening so fast. I already want time to slow down and he isn't even here yet. Wowsers!

This past weekend Gary and I worked on the house. I know, finally!! We painted the nursery, it's almost finished, but not quite. It's this awesome blue/gray/silvery color that I had picked out well before knowing I was pregnant. I liked it no matter what, girl or boy. So I am really stoked that I like it as much on the walls. We even purchased the nursery set online, should be here in a week or so. I will post pics when it's done. We (and I mean Gary) also re-built our bedroom closet so both of us can put our clothes in there. Gary has been keeping his clothes in the nursery closet up until now. That obviously isn't going to cut it in a few months!

Enough of that. I leave you with the 2-9 picture and some other pics of our cute dogs!

XOXO

Check out that basketball belly!


Umm, note the sexy hair and outfit. Didn't I just say we were fixing the house?! Don't judge me.
