It's been a crazy week! Work is so busy right now. Which I love! The days go by faster. I've been working every night on the house and Roman's room. We have it just about finished. We just need his mattress and bedding and some baskets for his bookshelf. Yeah!! I'll take pictures when it's complete. Matt's entire family is coming in town this weekend for our first shower! We're having a couples shower with all of his friends. I'm so excited to have the family stay at the house and for the shower!! It's going to be a fabulous weekend!!
Roman update... I went to the doctor yesterday and she said everything looks perfect! He had the hiccups when we listened to his little heart beat. It was so cute! He kept moving when she was trying to get his heartbeat too. It was funny, like she had to chase him! She thinks that he's going to be a smaller baby, around 6-7lbs. Which is what I was. My mom had two smaller babies. I heard that this is kind of genetic. Does that mean he could come early too? Because both of my mom's babies came early. Just wondering if anyone out there has that knowledge! The doctor also told me that I need to slow down. I've been still walking or working out on the elliptical machine 3-5 times a week. She said max 3 times and if I'm feeling wonderful, maybe 4. Oops!! I do need to start slowing down. I want him to be healthy, so I slept in this morning and didn't go to the gym and it was wonderful!!
Condo update... Well, we found a renter, finally for our condo! We were thrilled! She wants to move in this weekend. We finished any last minute cleaning on the condo last weekend. She signed the papers and sent them to us. The day that we signed the papers, we got a call from our old realtor. He said that another lady is interested in buying the condo! It isn't even on the market to sell anymore! So, Matt let him know that she has to put in an offer immediately. After some negotiations, she is willing to pay what we are asking on the contingency that the home appraises for that amount. We are so thrilled!! This could be such a miracle! We just have to wait 10 days for the appraisal to go through. Let's just pray that the home appraises for our asking price!
That's all for now! Go out and make it a great weekend!!

Chloe was in the 7 lb range - 7.7 and she came only a few days early. A little trick if you want him to come early (and I sure did) is curb walking - one foot on the curb the other on the street. I did that the day before she was born. Boy did my hands swell, but it was worth it :) I can't believe it's time for showers and I just can't wait to meet little Roman. Oh, and that's awesome news about the condo. Funny how things happen when you least expect!
So excited for you that little Roman is coming soon! I love the name and you both will be wonderful parents. Emily was a little one as well--she was 6 pounds, 12 ounces and she was about 6 days early. Not sure if there is any correlation, but my mom always had about 7 pounders and we were all early. Glad to hear that all is well and have a fun weekend!!!
I can't believe your little one is almost here!! :) I am the oldest of five and all of us were early. I was born closest to my due date, about 2 1/2 weeks early. Eli was also 2 1/2 weeks early. If your mother had babies a couple of days early, that probably doesn't really mean anything. But if they were a week or more early, your little Roman could be here sooner than you think! :)
I understand wanting to keep up the exercising until the end. I went to the gym the day I was to be induced just so I could say I worked out the day I gave birth (well, if a 20 minute walk on the treadmill is working out). Ha!
But, take an extra nap and lay low for a bit. Your time to hit the gym again will come around! :)
I obviously have no comment or advice in the pregnancy area, but I am so happy for you about the Condos...especially in this market!! So sorry I haven't called you back...it's been crazy busy. Will catch up with you soon though.
