Week 32

The 8th month has arrived!! We were walking last night and realized we only have 8 more weeks until our due date... and only 5 weeks until she's a full term little baby!  I'm still in disbelief that it will be here so soon.

We had good news around here this week - Andy found out he passed his CFP exam! :)  It was a year long process - he had to take 6 exams plus a two-day cumulative exam back in February.  He did it in a shorter period of time so that he wouldn't be studying when the next test date came around in July so he was super relieved to have passed it and not have to worry about it when we have so much on our plates right now.

We had the best weekend celebrating David and Carrie's wedding!  Everything was absolutely beautiful - they did such a good job with all the details!  It ended up drizzling a little bit but it held off until everyone was in the main tent for dinner so it probably kept more people on the dancefloor :)  It was quite the party, complete with a dance off!! We hope they are having a relaxing, amazing honeymoon in Italy now  - can't wait to hear all about their trip!!!  Here's a few pics from the wedding day -

 I love this picture olivia took! this is how I feel every morning when I look down and see that somehow my belly expanded overnight :)

I started making my hospital packing list today while I was bored at school.  I figure since I have nothing actually set up for baby girl, I can make lists instead ;)  This is probably the most unprepared I have ever been for anything in my life but am hoping that as soon as we get moved into our new house I'll be able to get nice and organized.   16 more days until we officially close and everything in the house seems to be moving along perfectly!  We go over there at least 3-4 times/week to see the progress and it's amazing how quickly they get things done.  The countertops went in this week and look great - they've also stained the floors but not put the final coat on.  Harper's room did get painted last week and it's definitely a little more pink that I was expecting but that's okay :)  It'll be sweet with her dark furniture.  Our glider came in this week as well and is just hanging out at the store until we get moved!

I'm still feeling pretty great - Andy says I've been making a lot of weird noises lately but it's because there's this giant basketball shaped thing that seriously gets in the way when I'm trying to bend over/roll over, etc.  I joke that rolling over is now a three point turn for me.  First I roll my legs over, then my arms/shoulders, then the belly comes rolling along behind, usually accompanied by some awkward grunt. lol 

We've got another busy weekend ahead of us! Hoping to see "What to expect when you're expecting" this weekend - Olivia and one of her friends have been promising they are going to take me so I'll either go with them or with Andy friday night.  Saturday Olivia has a soccer tournament in Lex so we'll watch her first game, then ride to etown to see her dance recital, then ride back to Lex with them - we'll probably miss the second game as we're going to a fundraiser for the lexington opera!  It has a silent auction so I'm prepared to do some damage... not sure if Andy is aware of my affinity for auctions so he may be in trouble.  I was seriously exhausted after the wedding festivities this past weekend so I am hoping we will get one weekend to hang out and catch up on this little momma's sleep before Harper arrives to snatch away all hopes of a full nights sleep ;)
