Hi everybody!
Today is day one of Week 33 of my pregnancy. We are really getting close now! We've been busy getting the house organized and put together for the new baby. I think Samantha is tired of hearing "she'll be here soon" because she keeps telling us of the things she's going to do with her new sister. She is very excited to share her new double stroller with the baby but makes sure we know the baby will sit "in back" of her and she gets the front seat!
I am really, really feeling pregnant these days. I've had a little swelling, but not too much [yet?]. I'm very uncomfortable during sleep; which means I'm not sleeping much at all at night. Thank goodness I can still get in a nap during the day. Samantha continues to be a good napper so of course that makes for a happy mommy too!! My belly is growing and stretching and the pounds are really coming on! I feel like I waddle when I walk. It's hard to cross my legs when I sit (real ladylike, right!). When I do get up from the bed or sofa, I feel like I have to slide off and peel myself up. But all this is a welcomed gift. I know it will end soon and that will mean I will have a new daughter to love. I can't believe she's almost here!!
We are so thankful that Jason is still employed! The economy and market have taken their effect on us, but we are hanging on. Let's just hope these "rainy days" don't last too long!! We hope you all are doing okay too and making it through this mortgage mess!
Once the new baby is born, we intend to have an "open house" where you are all welcome to come by and meet her. Stay tuned for the day and details. We really hope we can see all of you sometime soon!! Enjoy the fall weather and Halloween. Next year the Burt Halloween Party will return!! We are already looking forward to it. But first... onto bigger things!!
Love, The Burt Bunch
