Sunday Evening...

Hmmm, finally checking out this blogging thing for myself. I've been lurking on so many blog sites recently -- probably as a result of being pregnant. I just HAVE to know what other pregnant people are going through. I stumbled upon Beth's blog searching for "when husband feels fetus kick". I was trying to find out when my husband would be able to feel our baby kick! I love her blog (sothefishsaid.com). I like her husband's too (rudecactus.com) So far I've been reading all the ones on Beth's site. Well, not all of them, mostly the belly brigade ones. I do occasionally check the others out as well. This gives me plenty of reading material throughout the day.

So I'm terribly bored at home right now. My husband's at work, and my sister, her husband, and my cousin were all visiting for the weekend and just left. So I feel a bit letdown right now. I also feel as though I have to talk to my baby or play music for her. I'm almost 28 weeks, and I know she can hear already, so I should probably read her a story or something. What I really want to do is take a nap.

I had so much fun this weekend! Friday Robert and I (Robert's my husband) went out to brave the streets of Houston and find a crib to buy for the baby -- who by the way we have decided to name Sofia, provided she does come out a girl like the ultrasound lady told us. Lo and behold we found one! I was very happy with the one we bought. Well, we ordered and paid for it, but the lady at the store told us that it would take four to twelve weeks for delivery! Maybe she said six to twelve weeks. Anyway, either way...the baby will be here or pretty close to being here in twelve weeks.

We had ordered one from Target.com a while back, but the transaction got messed up somehow, so the order didn't go through. I was happy with the one we ended up picking though. The first one cost less than my new cell phone, which made me feel a bit guilty.

After purchasing the crib, we came home to run around like crazy people cleaning the house in anticipation of my sister's visit. We cleaned it, and my sister and company showed up around 10 pm. Then we went out to eat (yes, I know that it was late), came home and watched Team America on DVD, which had everyone howling. Saturday Robert and my sister's husband went fishing down close to Galveston. The rest of us joined them around noon and spent the rest of the day in Galveston eating lunch and playing on the beach. When it got later we made our way back to our house to grill steaks and watch the Spurs beat Phoenix for the third time in this series. Good times. Then my sister wanted to watch Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? so we did, but we were all so tired by then, we started dropping like flies and none of us finished the movie.

Today was more of a chill day. We hung out at the house and grilled chicken. Robert's obsessed with grilling now that we have a gas grill. The grill's not really ours though. It is one of the many things left at this awesome house for our use. See, we moved recently into my friend's house. He bought this cool house last year and moved out recently but didn't want to sell it so he said he'd rent it to us. We were looking for a place to rent with the baby on the way, so we agreed to rent it. Now we have a ton of space. We moved from a tiny fourplex apartment in the Montrose area of Houston. Of course, now we're in Texas City, which isn't exactly paradise, but hey we take what we can get. Sofia needs a house, so here we are. And now I'm a little closer to work too.
