Friday At Last!

Tonight we were planning on going to the Tulip Time fireworks, but they were canceled due to rain (even though it hasn't rained tonight yet--but it is very windy!). It actaully ended up working out okay because Joe and I were both very tired from having a long week and from staying up late last night watching t.v. (ok, late for us anyway--anything after 11 is late for us!). Now we can be fully rested up for our birthing class tomorrow. The class starts at 8:30, but we're meeting Curt and Jamie for breakfast at 7:30 (yes, we are taking the class together!) so we barely get to sleep in:(. I'm excited for the class though, it makes me feel like we're closer to my due date. I'm sure it's not going to be as exciting as I think:).

Our crib came in (earlier than expected) so that is set up now, we're just waiting for the changing table. I feel like time has been going quickly now--I'm almost in the 3rd trimester! At the moment I'm happy to have 3 months left because I still have stuff that needs to be done before we have Baby, however, I'm sure that as we get closer to the date, time will start to go VERY slowly (that's what people tell me anyway). I think it's a good thing that God made pregnancy take 9 months, that way by the time you're at the end you are SO ready to have the baby that you aren't nervous/scared of the delivery.

On another note, we came home tonight to Elvis greeting us at the door. He had been "locked" in his crate like normal, but apparently I didn't secure the door correctly because he somehow go out! Our rug by our door was torn to shreds, he peed in the basement and our pillows on our couch were tossed all about. Thankfully that was it! He just doesn't know what to do out of his crate if we're not home because we've never given him that option. Plus it stormed today which always gives him anxiety, so the combination of the two things wasn't good! He was very tired when we got home, but we still went for a walk to the creek down the road to drop off a turtle we found in our backyard (not sure how he got there--cute little guy:) ). Needless to say we are all very ready to go to sleep soon:).

And on a final note--congrats to Darrell and Lindsey on the birth of Jonathan Alan yesterday!!! She is the first in our group of friends to have her baby, so it's very exciting. Jonathan is adorable and they are all doing very well:). Here are a few pics.
