This weekend has felt busy, but for the life of me, I can't really put my finger on what we've done exactly. Our bathroom shower had the unfortunate timing of totally springing a leak, throwing mold on our sheetrock and baseboards (it's been there for a long while, we just didn't know it until Keith tore into the wall) and breaking a couple of floor tiles. So we spent the day on Saturday running all over to get all the supplies needed to fix this project once and for all. Then Keith ran many experiments trying to pinpoint where the leak was coming from. I think we finally found it this afternoon. We now have 2 holes in the sheetrock next to the shower, 2 tiles that have been pulled up, and baseboards missing. I told Keith that as long as our shower is useable once Cooper is born, that's all I care about. I can overlook missing floor tiles and holes in the sheetrock. I just don't want to be kicked out of my bathroom shower at that time. I'm not enjoying using Garrett's bathroom for shower purposes at the moment, but hopefully that time has come to an end. When Garrett first saw the holes in the wall, he asked Keith what happened and Keith said "Momma did it." haha So Garrett took that ball and ran with it. He immediately came up with the following scenario: "Momma got mad and she punched a hole in the wall." Wow, what does that say about me? Thankfully when Keith's mom was here this week to watch Garrett for me while I worked at the church, he told her that "Daddy did it", when he showed her the holes in the wall. So at least he spared me from sharing his story with everyone else.
This morning we went to church. The sermon was awesome! Then we went to Sunday school. It turns out that my group had planned a little surprise party for me as it was my last day to teach SS in our preteen department. Since I'm due in a couple of weeks, they've told me they want me to go ahead and enjoy sitting in on an adult class while I can do so without a newborn accompanying me. After enjoying a cupcake, I was promptly kicked out and told to go join my husband for the remainder of the SS hour. (And sent with a dozen cupcakes too!)
This afternoon was spent helping Keith to determine the shower leak's origination, along with finishing up some laundry. Then we went to Home Depot to get a few more supplies (it feels like we live there sometimes) and ate supper at Spaghetti Warehouse. Once we got home, Keith and Garrett played ball in the backyard, which was a lot of fun for both of them. Now Garrett's in the tub, Keith's taking a break from shower repair, and I'm sitting here on the computer. I'm really looking forward to my doctor's appointment tomorrow. I've had quite a few sporadic contractions over the past several days, with several more today.
I will leave you with a couple of pregnancy profile shots. The first one was from last month and I'm finally getting around to posting it. The second one was taken this afternoon. Just to give my family an idea of what I'm currently looking like in my final days of pregnancy. Not the most flattering of pictures, but I know I'll be glad we took these many years from now.
8 months pregnant

Hey, it sounds like we're living the same life right now! We are running around getting our house fixed up and I feel like we live at Leows sometimes. lol. I can't believe you're only 15 days away from your due date. Maybe you'll get good news tomorrow from your doc and he'll tell you that you can have Cooper early. My appointment is Tuesday and they're doing an ultra sound to see if she's head down and then doing my first internal exam (eww!). They'll let me know at that point whether or not I will start coming in every week or wait for one more of the 2 week appointments.
You can tell a big difference between your 8 and 9 month pictures! You definitely look ready to have the baby...as do I. lol. Waylon continues to remark on my "hugeness" lately. I don't think he means to make me feel bad, its just the first time he's been around a pregnant woman and been able to actually see the bare stomach and realize how large it actually looks. Still, not the most favorite thing to hear from your husband. Oh well. I'll be posting some pics soon. Maybe after my appointment on Tuesday when I feel a new blog post is warranted. :)
Looks like you could have your baby at any moment now! You look like you've dropped and are carrying him low! Anyway you look at it he should be here pretty soon! I know you're ready and excited about his arrival:) I noticed that Steph's belly looked lower yesterday at church. It sounds like you have everything ready and hopefully your bathroom will be o.k. soon!
