Today's the Day

I'm only a week into blogging and already turning into a slacker! Oh well. Guess it's time for a recap...

Last Thursday it started raining. I LOVE the rain! When it first starts raining and the dirt is getting wet. That's one of my all-time favorite smells in the whole world. That afternoon, I went over to my friend Kelly's house. She thought I might not want to come in the rain, but I'm fine. I don't even want an umbrella, thank you. So, anyway, she was nice enough to drag her maternity clothes out of storage for me to go through. There were only a handful of things that would actually fit me, so I got to take those home. (Everything else was too small). How nice is she?! I really enjoyed sitting over there for a little while and just catching up. In person. Some weeks we only can catch up via phone. Watching her kids run around the house reminded me of what my life will be like very soon. I could hang out with her all day.

On Friday it was still raining. Love! My sister and I went to a sale at a baby boutique that morning. Neither one of us found anything we couldn't live without really. So, I wanted to show her the same diaper bag but in a different color at a different store a few miles away. We went there and they were having an even better sale! Score! So, I got a diaper bag, some accessories and a shopping cart cover. I was really excited that we found that sale. Even though it was by accident. Then when Bobby came home from work, he brought something. A baby jackrabbit. It was so cute. He bought it some kitten milk and a bottle at the feed store and we got it to drink from the bottle. So cute. Since he had to catch it out in the rain and mud, it's feet were covered in little dirt balls. He named it Dirtclod. haha. And he also finally caught the brown bunny (Brownie) that has been running loose in our yard. He needed to catch it so it would be inside our yard when the fence goes up.

On Saturday, Dirtclod escaped from her box and we couldn't find her in the house all day. Bobby finally found her that night, hiding behind some pictures in the office. How funny!

On Sunday, we went to Bobby's sister Kelly's house. We were celebrating Cody's graduation and his mom's birthday. Bobby barbecued hot dogs and hamburgers. Aunt Lynda made that lime green jello salad that has pineapple and cream cheese in it. I was in heaven. I think I pretty much ate half the container by myself. It's funny because my mom makes it sometimes too, and I was just telling her the other day that she should make it again soon. Then it shows up at the barbecue. Yum!

On Monday, Bobby and the fence company dug the footing for the fence we are getting. I can tell that he loves being out there and being involved in the whole process. He's definitely an outdoors kindof guy. Around lunchtime, I hit number 34. Uugghh.

On Tuesday, Dirtclod died. I was sad. Bobby buried her in the backyard. At least we still have Brownie. And Brownie loves romaine lettuce! He reminds me of the cadbury bunny. Cute! I had gone to Sam's Club and decided to buy a box of diaper while I was there. I brought them in and showed Bobby. He smelled them. They smell just like a baby. Wow! It's starting to seem a little more real now. Especially with that smell. It's going to be different around here. It's been just Bobby, me and Maddie for the longest time.

"Well, today's the day." That's what Bobby said when he woke up this morning. I couldn't fall asleep last night. It's ultrasound day. He's super excited. I'm excited, but I'm a little nervous too. They will measure the baby and make sure everything looks normal. I just want the baby to be healthy. Please be fine.
