Step One to a New Driveway

Last Saturday was such a beautiful day on the Farm! You could even see the mountains.

Shannon and her mom Char came to visit last weekend for my babyshower. We drove out to the Farm to measure for a new access driveway. The access permit requires us to identify the grade of the driveway. Who knew those high school geometry skills would come in handy one day.

Third Trimester Observations

• Fat feet and cankles.
• Peeing in a cup when you can't see "down there" is somewhat of a challenge.
• Why in the world do I need a center line on my belly?
• Apparently, I'm a snoring machine.
• Tying my shoes is hard work.
• Belly bumping is a common theme.
• Not sure if it is appropriate to EVER tell a woman, "Wow, you're really big!"
• Being kicked in the ribs from the inside out isn't my preferred bonding method with my son.
• As if I weren't food obsessed enough...what's for dinner?
• Sitting lady-like is near impossible.

Happy New Year!

2011...what an exciting year it will be.

Top 10 goals for the year:

1. Welcome Henry to the world.
2. Save $$$.
3. Lose all the baby weight plus 15.
4. Install a shed in the backyard.
5. Construct a patio in the backyard.
6. Paint the beach house.
7. Install an access driveway on the farm.
8. Purchase and begin learning how to play the piano.
9. Read at least 6 novels.
10. Blog at least twice per month.

Let's see how successful I am. Cheers!
