Busy Bees

My mom and Ken dedicated all day Saturday and part of Sunday afternoon getting the baby room painted and ready for decorating. The room is now spackled, painted, the floors have been scrubbed, and the furniture is in it's place!! This would have easily taken just Ken and I a month to complete. It may surprise you to learn that I have been a mental case lately and am not a very good "helper buddy" for Ken and his house projects. He mostly assigns me little tasks to be completed alone. And those are mostly just tasks to keep me busy so I'm not in his business... me being pregnant has been awesome for Ken!!

Russell was angry his usual sunning spot was taken over with paint supplies. He made it work though.

We will post finished pictures of the baby room once the room is done!!!!

Childbirth Class round one

We went to our first Childbirth Prep class on Friday.

Yes, we are scheduled to take classes on Thursday nights, let me explain.... I was having a funky day and not feeling the best so I took a nap at 5pm knowing the Ken would be home in about half an hour to wake me up for our 7pm class. I don't hear Ken come in and he proceeds to complete some man project down in the basement. He wakes me up at 7 to ask if I was hungry. At this point I lose it and start crying because we missed our class and wasted 50 bucks... blah, blah... usual hormonal freak out routine ensues. After I became sane again, we just accepted that the class was gone and we would really have to beef up our baby book reading.

The next day the birth class lady calls me and mentions that I missed the class. She told me that there was another class that night and we were welcome to come to that one instead!! We showed up nice and early for the class so we didn't look like slackers two days in a row. The class was just OK this first time. It was a lot of basics that I knew from reading/school, but I think Ken got a lot out of it. It did include a 10 minutes massage lesson, which I highly enjoyed. The next class includes the birthing video, so I might bring one of my barf bags for Ken.

PS- The picture above is a present that my mom gave me during my extreme vomit stage of pregnancy. Ken has since stolen it and "pregnant Jess" stays on his nightstand.

Dentist

We finally went. I've been putting off going to the dentist since college, and I knew the day would finally come. Ken decided to be a real jackass and made appointments for both of us, so it was really out of my control. The report was not as bad as I expected. I have a couple of cavities that they want to fix, but they said they could wait until after the baby. (Maybe I should always go to the dentist pregnant...) Ken, however, has to get a crown in early December. (He tried the pregnancy excuse, but it didn't fly) Appointments were made for May, so it looks like we are finally back on the dentist routine. Next step in becoming real grown-ups is to get a primary care doctor and an eye doctor.

Hooray for 30!

To celebrate Jess being 30 weeks along, we had a quick dinner at the
fine establishment of Logan's. I usually have a strong stance against
eating where you throw your trash on the ground, but good deals were to
be had. I am a sucker for a deal.

Colts vs. Pats

Dan and Amanda took us to our annual Colts game last week. This was our first game in the new Lucas Oil Stadium.

This is Ken getting ready to play Kan Jam.

Then Ken decided to wear the KanJam and wanted to fight somebody while wearing it.

Part of the view while walking to the stadium.

Opening kickoff!

It was a beautiful day to be outside and the game happened to be a good one. It was close all the way through and it is always fun beating the Pats.
