Everything is going pretty well. I’m really starting to have a hard time bending over but Bob has been a saint about looking out for me and getting things for me so I don’t have to.

We are trying to wrap up all of the little projects now since it’s really the homestretch and we have to get these things done. We got a car seat and stroller, ended up going with a straight up car seat that fits up to 32 pounds so we can hopefully use it longer and then this cart thing that it snaps into instead of a “stroller system”. Did a lot of research on that and feel pretty good about the choice. So the hospital will actually let her come home with us now, LOL!

We need to get the carpets cleaned while we have the bed moved out and before the crib and furniture moves in…hopefully we can schedule that for next Thursday.

I’m getting pretty excited now…and so is Bob. Only one bad thing, we are kind of back to square one with the name…our friends Ken and Raquel just had their daughter a few days ago and they named her Gabriella Grace. Bob said it felt like getting kicked in the nuts ‘cuz he really liked that name! I felt bad for him, he was obviously very attached to it and just the night before had been talking to her/my belly and using that name. So, we have two names that we both like picked out already and we’ll still look for more. I think this time around we are not going to tell ANYONE!

Work has been brutal, but I am at least getting paid well for it. I feel pretty good so far about setting up the LLC and doing work for these guys, I hope that it turns out to make us as much money as I am hoping it will. I negotiated a really good rate that saved both them a bunch of money and increased my portion significantly…I love cutting out the middle man! I’m hoping this all ends up getting us some really good tax breaks as well, it should, and we have an accountant now that seems pretty competent. Ahhhh…the adventures of growing up and owning your own business!

I’m going to try to have lunch with Karen Shute on Friday. We’re likely going to brown bag it and go to the park to eat and chat, I haven’t seen her since before I got pregnant, it’s been forever!

I’m actually going to go back to sleep for a couple of hours, the tiredness is back, although not nearly as bad as the first trimester! I just really need to get my sleep and luckily I can get in a couple hour nap once or twice a week. I really wish that I didn’t have to get up early but these damn conference calls with Europe always start at 8 at the latest but a lot start at 7…which REALLY sucks!
