Last week in the 20's!

Alright, 29 is here...11 to go! Here's the low-down on Finley: he (according to my trusty website) is about the size of a butternut squash. I swear I've been told there is a site that uses other comparisons besides food, but I have yet to find it! He weighs a little over 2.5 pounds and is about 15 inches long. And let me tell you, he is active little guy!

I must say, his little 2.5 pounds is really starting to take its toll! I have discovered that turning over in the middle of the night is now something that requires strategy, shaving my legs is a joke, and trying to keep up with my long-legged friend when we walk in the morning is starting to resemble a duck trying to speed-walk!

Aside from that though, all is well! I have purchased my best pregnancy investment yet and discovered that I have a slight affinity for sock monkeys. While they used to sort of give me the creeps, I now find them quite cute...and extremely comforting for my tired feet :) You'll even notice that they look great with my clothes (you can rationalize anything-see photo above).

Kelly is continuing the overhaul of the bathrooms. Now that the addition is complete (or at least 95% of it is), he moved on to the existing bathroom...though it doesn't really "exist" anymore. He is busting his butt to try and finish this before Finn arrives and I must say, it is quite a sight! Finley's room is pretty much ready, but the completion of his closet is dependent on the completion of the bathroom (hence the rush). Once his mattress came in, I could not resist putting everything on his bed and had to even add his first teddy bear. You all know my slight obsession with bears! Even my nephew who is 2 talks about how Aunt Murmer loves bears (and now sock monkeys)!

Much love, as always, and please keep us in your prayers!
