Belly Shot and Home Improvement

Here is my belly shot from 28 weeks. (2 weeks ago) We have been super busy, and just got the picture loaded onto the laptop. I think I've grown even more since that picture was taken. I go to the doctor tomorrow for my 30 week checkup. I cannot BELIEVE that there are only 10 weeks left! That is absolutely crazy! We still have so much to do, but I feel that we can't get any of it done until the furniture comes in. Hopefully that will be in the next two weeks. Then we can get things on the walls, and get the drawers stocked!

Not only are we getting ready for Olivia by getting her room ready, we are getting things done around the house that we've been wanting to do forever! We had this tree in our front yard, and although it was a pretty tree, Brad and I both hated it. (You notice how I'm using past tense?) That's right...the tree no longer exists!! Everyday that tree dropped so many branches that we had to pick up. Also, the roots were getting so big, they were taking up the entire yard, and our grass was not growing as much. Every time there was a storm, I hoped that the winds would take down the tree...to no avail. During one of the most recent storms, we actually saw the top of the tree down by the ground! But never broke off.

As you can see from one of the pictures, the branches were very strong... strong enough to hold a grown man! The man you see in the tree is my father in law! Here are the shots of the tree before, during and after it was chopped down. Enjoy!! We sure are :)
