Just had to share this cute pic of B and Papaw M. B and I went out to my parents and stayed with them since J was busy at the ROT rally one weekend. Papaw and B went outside to watch the birds!

This pic was taken on June 6 (30 weeks). I am a little behind on posting it!
Things are still about the same, except for the 100 degree weather. I hurt every single day, can't sleep due to pain, and am having painful BH contractions. They are not supposed to be painful, but I beg to differ! I think I have pulled 2 more ligaments in my abdomen from driving and turning to check my blind spot.

At this point, I just want to meet this beautiful little girl and see B's reaction the first time she meets her! That is the only thing that keeps me going! I just CANNOT wait to experience that. The room is about as done as it is gonna get these days because I can't go out to look for the final decor and touches myself, and I am ok with that! Yep, you heard right, I am actually ok with something not being completely organized and ready the way I want it! J got the cradle down and I fixed the bedding on it! We can't even organize our room with the cradle and chair because I borrowed my sister's queen air mattress to sleep on since our bed is not firm enough and causes more back pain, so our room is full. J is doing a wonderful job keeping up with everything even though I know that I may not make him feel like it at times! He runs all the errands, does the dishes, cooks, cleans house, entertains B, and just about anything I leave on the to-do list including having to go get make-up when I ran out! I know he is getting worn down, but we are both hanging in there because we know the awesome payoff we get out of all of this in several weeks!

I am definitely at the point where people stare at you like you are about to give birth to a child in front of them.

This is my little rant since I can't actually say these things to people's faces:
Yes, I am big.
Yes, it is sweltering outside,
Yes, I waddle like a duck.
No, you don't have to stare like I am a circus side show.
Yes, it may be getting close to the date to some people, but it seems like eternity to me.
Yes, I know "things could be worse", but if I hear that phrase one more time I am liable to knock someone's lights out!
To strangers - No, I am not due any minute, but thanks for letting me know how you think I look!
Yes, I am a tad (well, more than a tad) cranky these days, but no sleep, pains everyday, chasing a 2 year old around that is just as stubborn as yourself, and not able to do much for yourself can kinda do that to a person!

I think I am done now! :)

B had her first hair cut...yes, her first! Aunt Lisa came into town so it was the perfect time to visit and I have always wanted her to give B her first hair cut! We were very apprehensive at first because she was not acting nice. After we visited for a while, B began to calm down. I was nervous about how she would react to the scissors and everything, but once she discovered Aunt Lisa's spray bottle she kept herself busy for a while. She sprayed J while she was having her hair cut and Lisa a lot. It was enough to keep her tamed while she had her hair cut. I took before (on the left) and after (on right) pictures. There is not a huge difference because we just trimmed it, but in person you can tell it looks so much healthier!

J had his promotional pinning ceremony on Wednesday. I got to pin him and then they were sworn into their new position. My Mom and Dad came to share in this occasion and then we went to dinner afterward! We are all just so proud of him! Here are some pics...ENJOY!
