Making room for baby!

We know that a baby means lots of extras to feed/bath/change/entertain baby so we're making room in our house for all of those things. Our couch, although not that old, has taken a beating by the dogs. They enjoyed sitting on the back cushions and looking out the window. Unfortunately the cushions started ripping and it was all downhill from there. Matt's dad, Tom, came today to haul the couch back to their house for storage (as Matt doesn't want to get rid of it completely because what if our next house has a basement?). It already feels so much more spacious in here (for now). And since no one ever visits us, Matt and I can make do with the love seat and recliner. The picture is of the sad couch sitting on the lawn ready to be loaded up. You can also see the tree limb left over from the last storm. Matt and Tom are currently reinforcing the posts for the gate on the fence with concrete as there was some shifting during the winter months. When they're done they will move the armoire from the old office/new nursery so that one day we can actually start/finish making it Jonah's room.

I on the other hand am doing nothing. I know that the bathroom walls could use a good cleaning and the kitchen floor needs washed but I'm still recovering from the flu. I started feeling sick on Tuesday evening and felt worse through the night (because apparently I'm never going to sleep during the third trimester...or ever). I was in bed all day on Wednesday and thought I would be okay to go to work on Thursday. I was completely worthless at work and felt worse as the day progressed. I stayed home from work Friday and stayed in bed again. I'm still not feeling 100% but the whole body aches are gone. My summer semester officially starts this week and I've gone as far as reading the syllabus. I know tomorrow I need to buckle down and do some reading. I'm also trying to get some projects at work finished up that I'm in charge of but things aren't moving very fast. I'm on a deadline as little Jonah could make his appearance in a little more than a month.

Anyone who has talked to me know that I don't know what I'll do with myself if I go all the way to my due date. I would like to deliver on 8/8/08 but that is also the day of my final so I would have to take that first. Jonah is definitely running out of room and is making me very uncomfortable with his movements (the flu doesn't help either). I feel like I'm going to burst. He is supposed to be 3 to 3 1/2 pounds at this point but I think he's at least 4. I mentioned before that I'll have one more sonogram to check his head circumference (very scared he'll have his father's head). I have to stop flying at 35 weeks so I'm good if he comes then or shortly after. Well I should stop procrastinating and do some work.
