28 Week Picture

In the last post we said we would post a current picture. Well, here it is. Kristin's belly at 28 weeks, isn't it cute!!! Hard to believe that in only 10-14 weeks there will be a little one running around (well, maybe not running... but certainly here) our house! We have been slowly working on cleaning up and trying to get things ready. In the next few weeks we're going to have to get our butts in gear and get more done.

Today Tim finally attached the power, cable and water lines to the house - they were only hanging there for about a year! I also replaced the outdoor electrical outlets today which had also been sitting there waiting to be done since around October or November of last year!

This weeks belly pictures coming soon....

We didn't get lazy... I swear!

We didn't disappear or get lazy or anything... we were just on vacation. On Sunday we got back from a week vacation in the Dominican Republic with my mom's whole family. There were 21 of us total and we had a blast. I spent most of my time swimming (well, floating or sitting in the water, really), reading, napping and relaxing. Tim did all those things and also added lots of sports, a bit of partying and definitely some drinking (as Tim said, he was drinking "for three"). I felt really good the whole time we were there, although it did seem hotter than when we were in Mexico. Everyone else thought that Mexico was hotter, so I think having the extra weight to carry around really affected me. I had to sit in the shade a lot and drink a ton of water. It was still great though.

We took some new belly pictures a few nights back but Tim hasn't uploaded them yet, so I don't have anything to post. My belly is definitely getting big though, but so far it isn't too uncomfortable. I have had a few cravings in the past few weeks, mainly for the same thing - ice cream! I don't normally crave or even really want ice cream because of my lactose intolerance, but the other night that was the only thing I wanted. Poor Tim was sent to Friendly's, who was out of vanilla soft serve (the ONLY thing I wanted) and then had to go to McDonald's to try and find what I wanted. Luckily McDonald's came through and my craving was satisfied.
