32 WEEKS! ahh! it's shocking. we're almost done. apparently she weighs almost 4lbs these days, which is a good healthy weight; even if the worst happened and she popped out 6 or 7 weeks early there is little chance of real problems as a result. that's a comforting thought.
i am really proud of the amount of stuff i did this weekend. friday night i mostly-cleaned the house, and we woke up and started working at 8am on saturday, meaning matt was out in the garden and i was putting the final touches on cleaning. i had half the shirts i needed to print (80 prints) done by 12pm, and we went to the feed store to get seeds and ward's to get food. then we stopped at karen and john's, matt helped them with a plumbing problem, we came home and matt made about 15lbs of kimchee and baked a chicken. i did laundry and set up a new website for matt's carpentry stuff. then i went for about a 3 mile walk in the prairie with jennie and evan. then i tested the garden soil pH, we made dinner, karen and john came over, and the guys dealt with the rooster.
sunday we were up again at the crack of dawn, i cleaned more, hennaed my hair, printed the rest of my shirts, made a big pot of turnip soup and prepped the rest of what was to be our early dinner with k&j, then they came over (3pm), i cut her hair, we ate, they left, and we went to walmart for stuff they don't sell at ward's. then we came home and i ironed all the shirts and we watched a movie ('body of lies,' it was pretty good).
so! lots of stuff. i know the mundane details are absolutely uninteresting but i am happy that i can still maintain a high level of activity despite the fact that 90% of the time i feel like my feet have been beaten severely. they hurt all. the. time. and there is always low-level swelling. while walking through the prairie my fingers actually swelled up--i started to get worried when that happened. i can't wait until my weight goes back to relative normalcy so that my feet get a break!
and now i'm here at work, wishing i was home and accomplishing useful things. *sigh* but at least i'm not standing...

we watched Body of Lies this weekend too. :)
Yay for 32 weeks! The time for me is flying right now. Once I enter the 30 week mode it seems like its just a countdown.
