In honor of my 500th post, I thought you could be entertained by LH and his friend singing along to the Black Eyed Peas's Immabe! He loves this song...hope you can see it well - it was kind of dark in the car

Sleepover...well almost!
Little Hauss has been wanting a friend to sleepover or to sleepover at a friend's house, but we weren't sure if it was too early for that or not. Well, we figured why not at at least see how it goes so we invited one of his little buddies over last night. He was super excited and we had a fun night planned. His buddy's mom said she wasn't sure he would stay, but what could it hurt to try. He did end up having to go home around 11:30, but wasn't upset, just not ready to sleep over! Up until then, the boys had a great time playing!
Eating homemade pizza on the deck after some yard time
Going to get some ice cream for dessert!
Yum!
Catching ligtening bugs!!!
Watching a movie!We might try for LH to go to his house next time....he can usually sleep anywhere, so it might work out better!

Two Wheels!!!
He's getting so big!!! He got the "big boy" bike, but within hours of that, he wanted to try his smaller bike without training wheels!!! He's a natural!!!! In no time, he'll have the big boy bike on two wheels I'm sure! 
Showing off!

35 Weeks
Besides resembling a giant lime or avacado, I feel pretty good! This shirt does't show much "definition" - I couldn't believe my ladies look small!! I think the shirt might need to be put up since it won't stretch much more than this and I'm just going to keep growing!!! 5 short weeks left!!! Maybe sooner!
Cankles
WOW! I officially have cankles - you know...when your calf migrates to your ankle. They got really bad yesterday - I'm sure from sitting at my desk for hours on end and then going out to dinner last night. I finally got home around 9:30 and propped them up with frozen peas....Helped some, but they are still a little puffy today! I get off work around 11:30 and will be able to rest and ice them some more hopefully! I am really surprised that I've lasted this long in this pregnancy without them. I was swollen ALL over from about 4 or 5 months on with LH - you think I'm kidding but it was so bad, my lips were puffy! 
This was the worst one....see the indention of my flip flps!

Planning to plan...
Now, you all know I'm a planner - I plan to plan my brother says! He's shocked I could hold out finding out the sex of this baby because I usually would need to plan for whatever it is. Good think I knew what I wanted and didn't need to know the sex!
I'm planning other things now. I guess you could say I'm nesting. I'm on a roll at work and we are also getting lots done at the house. I feel like its more work to prepare to leave then leaving itself. I know things will be fine when I'm gone but we have a huge audit 15 days after I get back, soooooooo, I'm really planning for that! My co-worker and I have the same job, but two totally different areas so she will be filling in for me to make sure all of this runs smoothly while I'm gone. I'm trying to "guide" her through everything she will need to do during my maternity leave.
I made a list for Hubby. He asked for it. It's a big list. It has baby stuff and just other house related stuff on it that doesn't really have to be done before baby, but we need to work on nonetheless. He's making great progress! He's painted the changing table and we've put new knobs on it. It looks amazing!!! We just need a shelf and closet rod and we're pretty much set in there. Some of the other stuff is minor, like tighten the toilet seat, fix the towel rod in bathroom, give house a good cleaning (baseboards, etc), fix the squeaky doors, but other stuff will take some time like put up new mirror and light fixtures in bathroom, work on yard (will have to wait until we get some relief of the heat), and work on basement/tools! These are things that have been on our "mental" list for some time, but we just have it all written down now to check off when we get them done! He also has some painting projects when he has the time!!
As for the "nesting" part at home, I've now cleaned out every closet (except mine), cabinets, and started washing teeny tiny baby clothes! I have bottles, bibs, spoons, etc in the kitchen as well as all the big necessities ready to use! We are as ready as we can be at this point!!!

Vacation Bible School
Really this code for Mommy's free time! Ok, seriously, LH is getting a great lesson every single night, playing with friends, learning new songs and having tons of fun, but while he is there, I get a couple hours of quiet time! There is nothing wrong with feeling good about this. Nope, no guilt at all!
NOW, if it were my home church, I would be volunteering, but its not because my home church still does VBS during the mornings when I'm working! So, he's actually never gone to that one. The one he is going to is from his first pre-school church. He loved it there, but it wasn't all day, so we had to find something else when I went back to work. I love all those people, their kids, and this will be his 3rd year attending their program! He looks forward to it every summer to see his old teachers and old friends!
In my "free" time so far, I've spent way too much at Lowes, caught up on laundry (yes, I did a lot of it myself), picked up the house, cleaned out more closets and just enjoyed some quiet!
