36 Weeks

Well, I am now in Traverse City. I am definitely thrilled to be with Matt again, however my days are rather slow. He keeps reminding how most people would take advantage of this time, but that never makes me feel better. Not to mention the fact that he's been pretty busy at work and gets home late anyway. Oh well, gives Meadow and I lots of time to do some last minute bonding. Here's a pic of us (well, Meadow) walking along the Boardman River recently not too far from where the Witkowski's condo is.

It is beautiful here right now. I was in GR last weekend and there is such a difference in the colors. They really are brighter and deeper in Northern Michigan. Still waiting for cooler weather though. One my favorites things so far about TC is that everywhere I go I can be by water. Whether a river, small lake or the great big bay. Like right now... looking at a small, beautiful lake to the right of me. Can't get enough of that! It's pretty relaxing. 

I see my Traverse City doctor for the first time tomorrow. Hopefully, it's not too painful. We had our first Childbirth class on Sunday night and it went well. I can see why so many people recommended we do that. And we are not the oldest or have the closest due date in the class! The class is making it all a little too real though. I've been in the 'hmm...I don't think I can do this' stage for quite a while now and the class isn't helping yet. I've decided that months 6 and 7 were my favorite. Now I'm just too big and uncomfortable most of the time.

A few months back our friends wanted to know if we wanted to go to a Detroit Lions game this season. Of course we did... then we found out the date that would work was Oct. 16. :( That was a little too far along in the pregnancy for me to go. But there's no way I could make Matt not go!! I said back then that I'm sure I will regret it the day of the game, but he should go. Now that it's here, I know I would be ridiculously uncomfortable if I went, driving to Detroit, sitting in the stadium for hours, walking up and down the stadium stairs, driving home - ugh the thought of that makes me hurt. But I do wish I was going. Things have been going so well, it would have been a nice day for us, especially with the Lions being 5 and 0!!!! Well, have fun babe - and remember this moment...

The good news of the week is that we think we found a place to live! Matt has to make one last phone call to the people to make it official, but it sounds like it's a go. Hopefully the next time I post we'll be in a home (on a LAKE!). :) Down the stretch we go!! 4 weeks left!
