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!
