We only have 10 weeks left til we meet Marlee!!!! We are so excited, but still trying to make everything work. Dave has been so busy and hard at work for us, for ABEC, for the band, and with fellow songwriters. He works so hard at everything he does. He loves to learn and figure out how to do things for himself, especially if it saves money. His perserverance and talent amazes me...hopefully Marlee will get that from him!
It's been in the mid to high 90s for the last few weeks, but will finally dip back into the 80s with lows in the 60s. I've been trying to soak up the A/C, but have spent some time in the sun, or at least in the shade outside. Our garden is not growing as well this year as last year. Too much water early on and now too hot and dry. Hope we end up getting some good stuff eventually....I'm so looking forward to yummy garden veggies.
Looking forward to going to Centre this coming weekend for the 4th of July! Dave gets Monday off, so we get to stay a little longer than we thought. We start our every 2 week doctor's appt next week and Dave's 32nd b'day is next week too! The summer is flying by!

Father's Day & Summer
Yesterday was Father's Day! My dad was in NYC with mom visiting Ashley (sister). I would have loved to have gone with them, but didn't have the funds, plus I don't know how much fun I would be traveling like that right now (slow, frequent bathroom trips, etc.). Sounds like they had fun, can't wait to see pictures. My dad is so awesome and I love him so much for always loving and supporting me! He's all about having fun and being funny, but very smart at the same time. I LOVE MY DADDY!
Dave got back from KY around 6am Sunday morning, so we spent his last Father's Day as a "non-father" just sleeping in and lazing around. I cooked pancakes for him. Late afternoon we ran some errands and he fixed on the band van some (now the transmission is messing up). Good day all and all, and can't believe we'll have a daughter next Father's Day! David is going to be such a great dad!!!! He is sweet, loving, smart, funny, fun, understanding, hardworking, and talented in so many ways! Marlee is very lucky to have as her father, and I'm lucky to have him as my husband and best friend! I love him so much! Can't believe we will be parents in 2 1/2 months!!
Baby showers are coming up in a month or so, while we continue getting the house ready. Gonna pick out wall colors soon and update the furniture we are gonna use. I have a doctor's appointment to meet Dr. Ellington tomorrow for the first time (another doc in my clinic). I hope Dr. Rupe (my doctor) gets to be with me on Marlee's b'day. Dave can't come to anymore appointments because he's back at work. :( But at least he got to come with me up to this point! I was stressing about my lax work schedule a little for the summer (unexpectedly turned that way right before the summer) but it was great timing since Dave got his job back, still getting some odd jobs, and the band is scheduled up into August. So I guess I can enjoy the days where I don't work, since I am getting bigger and more tired again and have LOTS to take care of in the next 8 weeks. I had an eye doctor appt today and my eyes both got a little better since last time. After my baby doc appt tomorrow, I'm also going to the dentist, hope I get good news tomorrow.
I've been singing "You Are My Sunshine" to Marlee in the shower while I wash my belly. She is kicking so much now, especially when her daddy sings while playing the acoustic! He wants to start singing to her lots of songs since she can hear him now. Apparently she's approx 2 1/2 lbs and over 15 inches. We'll find out in 3 more weeks if she is starting to turn head down or not because of the point of the heart shape. (I've been talking to her about turning upside down, we'll see if she's stubborn like her daddy.) :) I'm also having some, um, gross and slightly uncomfortable side effects of from pressure that I won't go into, but overall I still feel pretty good. Did manage to hurt my back some how, so that's unfortunate, but hopefully it will get better soon. Marlee's officially been in the lake, ocean, and pool already this summer!

Bigger belly with a tan!
We're at 28 weeks and just got back from Florida with Jonathan and April. We changed our plans from Gulf Shores, AL to Mexico Beach, FL because of the oil spill in the Gulf. We were clear of oil the entire time and had perfect weather and great food that made for a great trip! Jon and April were so kind to treat us to a Babymoon to kick off our 3rd trimester.
The weekend before the beach we had a long weekend in Centre on the lake for Jon and April's Reception. We had good weather and I got a little too much sun, but it was ok by the time we made it to the beach, and I just further my tan a little there. We swam and took boat rides. Saw the huge pile of baby stuff from the Gilberts...so awesome. Hanging out on the lake, watching the sunset, and relaxing was so great! It would be nice to be able to look out over the lake anytime you like. MISS IT! Many of my Auburn friends were in Puerto Rico that weekend for Rebekah's wedding to Mike. Looks like it was a blast and heard that it was crazy, as expected.
Now that we have less than 3 months left, we are in frantic get-everything-ready mode. We have to organize what we have left after going through the baby room for the yard sale, paint the baby room, update/make furniture for baby room, put shelving in baby closet, and tile the laundry room floor. Gotta make the final color choices soon! Can't believe that Marlee will be with us when football season starts! She is kicking like crazy, especially when I get still, so that means I need to be on the move as much as possible. I'm feeling pretty good, but her movements are so much stronger now and my belly is so out there...and it's gonna get even further! We go back to the hospital to meet our other doctor next week. Our breastfeeding class is at the end of the month and our childbirth classes are every Thursday in July.
Dave started back at ABEC today, and I'm a little emotional. He is such a multi-talented guy and doesn't have to be in a mainstream job b/c he can do SO much, but we have to figure out where we are gonna be and what we want to do and we will make it happen.
Life is short, do what you enjoy doing, anything is possible!
