27 weeks!!

We are in the house and mostly unpacked!  Jeremy has worked his little butt off.  We started unpacking in the kitchen as soon as the movers left on Monday.  I have so much cabinet space that I cannot fill it up.  It's great.  Doing the kitchen took a couple of hours.  After that, we just kept going.... and that is where I made my big mistake.  I don't know what I was thinking.  Monday night I got up to go to the bathroom and almost collapsed as soon as my feet hit the ground.  My legs literally could not hold me up.  I think that I spent so much time on my feet that my lower back just couldn't do it anymore.  I made it to the toilet (thank goodness!) by supporting myself with the bathroom sink.  I really could have used a walker.  I stretched a little and didn't get back in bed until I could walk on my own.  It was a little scary, but Tuesday morning I was fine.  My lower back was stiff, but I could walk.  Needless to say, I learned my lesson and now take a lot of breaks to put my feet up.  

Here I am at 27 weeks!  See why my back hurts so badly?  There's a lot of weight up front. I have definitely grown compared to the last blog picture.  The lower part of my belly has filled out.

      Yesterday at the mall I found this belly support thing.  It is the BEST!  It takes a lot of pressure off of my back.  J made me take this pic  b/c he thinks it's so funny.  
So to get even, here is a picture of him TRYING to hook up my washer and dryer.  It took him FOREVER and he was very mad at me for snapping this shot.  To his credit, it was way more difficult than any other washer/dryer that I have ever seen.
And yes, he did get it working.

I have to hand it to the boy- he has really been great.  There is no way in this world that I would have been able to do all of this myself.  He even cooks and cleans!!  I will be sad to drop him at the airport on Saturday.

Tuesday I am having Internet and a phone line installed.  My phone does not work at all in this house.  That is why I haven't returned any of your calls.  It is driving me crazy.  I can't even talk to Mike!  Speaking of him, he will come home a week from Saturday!!  I cannot wait.  I miss him so much.  It is going to be so much fun fixing our nursery, hanging pictures, shopping for furniture...  all of that stuff.  He is really ready to come home too.
