7 months       8 months

I am still feeling really great. I try to walk 3 miles a few times a week. It has been a great way to keep me moving and catch-up with my friends, who are kind enough to walk at a preggo pace with me (this includes my hubby!). It has been decently warm here in Seattle, and I am not complaining! I love summer and all it has to offer. My hands and feet get swollen when I get really hot, but it goes away once I cool down. Other than that, the heat has not bothered me too much. If you don't count the minor melt down this afternoon :)

I can not get enough water. Ice cold water. I think Starbucks should be paying me, as I am a walking advertisement with my reusable (venti size) cup in hand EVERYWHERE I go. And I mean everywhere. 

We have been busy packing our house and preparing to move into our new house! It takes me a lot longer to pack being so spherical and all. Also, the whole not being allowed to lift heavy boxes is an issue... So this is how it goes: I put an empty box on the ground, fill it to the brim, Chris comes home from work and carries all the randomly placed boxes downstairs (where we are storing everything). Then he kindly asks, "What was in THAT box?" Obviously it was a little on the heavy side, but since I can't really test out the weight of the boxes...oops. :)

The house is coming along well.  We went up there today to do a walk through with the third party inspector we hired, and things were not exactly ready for him to inspect. But we have been promised that it will all be ready for him to inspect next week. I am optimistic. Anywho, we got a chance to checkout our house! Super excited with how everything is coming together!!

Front landscaping is done. Sorry I did not get it all in the photo...not sure what I was doing here. 

Backyard landscaping is done. Fencing is done.

Built-in desk area, it is just off the family room. This is for the family computer and my junk.

Family room. While taking this photo, my back is to the kitchen, and the slider to the back yard is directly to my right. 

Can't wait to move in.
