28 Weeks

We entered the 3rd trimester!  It's crazy to think we'll have another one in our house in just 3 months.  At the same time we feel like it's still far away.

People often ask what we'll be naming our son and we have no idea. Just like before, we feel like we have a lot of time.  However, we are constantly reminded by people that "it's not that far away" and "it'll be here before you know it."  I guess we'll see.  We will be going in with a few names but we don't plan on having a named completely determined beforehand.  We feel like we'll know once we see him.  Shani says she'd go a week to figure out the "right" name, but John says only two days.  So two it is!

Along the same lines, no we haven't started the baby's room yet.  It currently is John's work space and with how busy he is, it will be that way for a little while longer.  Maybe by Christmas we'll have it cleared out??  Okay, wishful thinking, but we know it will be done before our little guy arrives... we think.  Don't think for a second that it hasn't been on our minds or that Shani hasn't made a few comments :-) 

We picked up our Christmas tree yesterday.  It's the tallest one we've had...or probably will ever have.  From now on it will be a pesticide-free tree (yep, one more year of chemicals) and the ones we've seen haven't been all that tall.  That's okay, we are happy as long as we have the wonderful tree smell (the pesticides don't make them smell good...right?)  John has had to do most of the work with the tree.  Even squatting down to put the tree stand on (something easy) is getting harder for Shani to do.  John also wasn't happy with Shani when she was standing on a chair on the tile to put up the lights.  She swears her balance is still okay, but John wasn't liking it.  Thankfully no crashes and the lights are up!  We still have all the ornaments to put on and other Christmas decorations to hang, but the house is starting to look more and more Christmas cozy.  The way we like it, our favorite time of year!
