What a weekend we've had.  We've been so busy that the last 2 days have flown by and I couldn't tell you where they went.

Last night, we were able to get to bed and fall asleep right away because yesterday was such a busy busy day.  And this morning, I was awake earlier then I wanted to be but that's okay.  We had a lot to do today and even though Tyler was still asleep, I felt that if I got out of bed I would be able to get a good start on the day.

Tyler followed me shortly afterwards and we got a start on our day.  First things first, Tyler made biscuits for breakfast and soon we were enjoying the morning together.  And then we started our day.  Tyler started with taking out the recycling and garbage while I did the mornings dishes.

The recycling and garbage take out took longer then dishes, so I started on packing up all our clothes.  That didn't take too long either and soon all 3 giraffe suitcases were crammed full of clothes, including tiny tiny baby clothes.  Surprisingly, Baby J's clothes are taking up most of papa giraffe suitcase (the biggest on we have).

And then the hard work started.  The actual packing of the car was all done by Tyler because I can't really lift anything heavy and the grass was really slippery so I couldn't really do much even if I wasn't pregnant.  Tyler managed to get everything all packed away nicely and he can still see out the back window so that's good.  The sad thing was that I did very little of the hard work and yet I was so tired while I was sitting as Tyler instructed me to do, I almost fell asleep.  My feet were buzzing and I felt so lame.  I can usually do stuff and not get really tired but not any more.  baby J must be growing a ton right now because I'm always so tired and today, since we were moving and packing and doing a bunch of things, I was more tired then ever before.  Tonight should be a really great sleep for me.

After Tyler was done packing the car, we showered and sat down to watch a movie.  And relax.

For dinner, we headed over to the hospital to enjoy a turkey meal with some of Tyler's co-workers.  It was fun and really tasty.  There was also M&M's, cookies and jelly beans which is really what I have been wanting to eat a ton of lately.  We listened to some people sing karaoke which was pretty awful.  We also found out that there was a community event going on at the hall so we headed there next.

The whole town seemed to be there and we sat with our friends and enjoyed the festivities.  There was a dj and singing and little kids were dancing.  I think the best part was that I got to hold a week and a half old baby, and he was so cute.  It was also pretty cute to see all the little kids get so excited for santa to show up and give them all gifts.  It was a fun way to spend an evening after a very long weekend of packing.

So now, there are only 2 more days until we take off on our big trip.  We are so excited to get home and be around old normal life.  Also, it's hard to believe that our baby is due oh so very soon.  And we can't wait!!!

One more thing, Baby J has been kicking me in the ribs a ton and it's not so much fun.  I don't need that to happen again.  And I'm super tired so excuse the real lack of effort put into this blog.... I just feel lame right now.
