Kelly hit the 37 week mark on Friday, June 20th.  She has been in a lot of pain, so much so that she was having a really hard time walking.  As of last night though, it seems to have subsided and she is a lot more comfortable.  We think maybe the baby was sitting in something and causing the pain, but hopefully it stays away.  Kelly saw her Doctor last week.  She isn’t dilated at all yet, so looks like we are still in good shape.  The baby is moving around a lot also.  He doesn’t have much room to move around anymore, so we see even the slightest movements.  It really is amazing.

Kelly found a table on Pinterest that she wanted me to make for the backyard.  I decided I would do it, for no other reason than to make Kelly stop talking about it.  But after a few hours on Saturday, I absolutely CRUSHED this table, and we have a really nice table in the backyard now.  We got some chairs from Ikea, and now, we have another place to sit when we feel like being destroyed by mosquitoes.  I will post pictures below so you can see what was on Pinterest, and what my actual table looks like.  I’m not gonna lie, it’s pretty legit.  We also hung out with the Murphy’s this weekend.  They were nice enough to take us as guests to the pool where they are members.  So Kelly was able to relax and get in some sun and swimming.

In baby news, our baby supposedly weighs 6 1/3 pounds and measures a bit over 19 inches.  Food comparison of the week: Our baby is the side of a bunch of Swiss chard.  I had no idea what that was so I needed to look it up.  Apparently it’s a leafy green vegetable.  Upon looking it up, web search results also asked me if I wanted a bunch of Swiss chard recipes: I decided to take a hard pass on that.  Kelly is experiencing some Braxton Hicks contractions.  Some of them were so strong that they woke her up the other night. But so far, so good.  She goes back to the Doctor today, so I’ll post more when we know more.

Here is the original post on Pinterest:

Here is my table prior to being Stained:

 

Here is the table mid-stain, almost finished.  I don’t want to brag, but I’m prrrrretty sure it looks exactly like the Pinterest table. Permission to be impressed granted.
