Long week!

Hey everyone! Sorry I haven't posted in a while. We had a ton to do last week, including my last trip EVER to Walter Reed Army Medical Center. I am NOT sorry to have my back to that particular place. They were giving me the run around on my medical records and I finally had to say "Ma'am, you are stressing me out, I am having contractions, my midwife needs those records". And BOY, threaten to have a baby in someone's office and all of a sudden things that were impossible 5 minutes ago are easy as pie!

And a PSA: My laptop died, along with about 95% of the contacts that I have. So, if I haven't emailed you in the past week, and you'd like an email birth announcement, please please please, send me or Andrew an email! If you don't have my email, and want a birth announcement, post a comment at the bottom of the blog and I'll respond.

We've had an extremely productive past several days. We got a bunch more beds built. The peas are growing, I learned to make yogurt in the crock pot, the composter came, and Zach said his first real word "Aggie" and pointed at the correct cat. However, his vocab now seems to consist of "guu-girl" for Medchen, or any dog, "Aggie" for the cats, and "daa daa" for both Andrew and myself. He's also started signing "all done" fairly reliably.

Peas on the trellis. I swear I can watch these things grow!

A little shade on my face, but there's the 37 week belly. Why yes, I do feel huge! We had two neighbors come over and say I was doing to much in my condition. You can imagine how well such comments go over with me.

On his climber. He's getting more into it! Yeah!
With the new composter, he had to check it out of course!
