One fat ankle & One REALLY, REALLY fat ankle!

Tomorrow, BabyW will officially be full-term (37 weeks) and we're excited for him to come whenever he's ready! Well... actually we're hoping he'll come sometime between July 3-17th... or I guess this week would be okay too, but as much as we're "ready," I'm hoping he'll wait until July. My dad has to fly to Seattle June 29-July 2nd and then Mike's family leaves on July 18th for their cruise to Alaska! No pressure baby. :)

I'll be going to the doctor today and hope to hear that things are continuing to move forward and progressing. I'll also be hoping to find out that everything is fine with my super fat right ankle. It's weird. I actually have not had much swelling at all, but every so often, just my right ankle gets really fat. This time it's stayed that way for several days. I wouldn't think anything of it if both ankles were the same, but there's a significant difference. I did call the nurses line yesterday just to make sure I didn't need to be seen sooner, and she said as long as there was no pain or redness, I could wait until today, but that I need to stay off of my feet and lay on my left side. Well... that wasn't exactly possible yesterday as I had to work and then it was Justine's birthday and we had plans to go out to dinner for the night. But I did let Mike drop me off at the door and I am going to try really hard to just take it easy tonight after work. :) Happy Birthday Aunt Stiney. My "little" sister is really 27? Wow, when did we get so old?

Welcome Home Aunt Stiney

...or Justine, as most of you would know her :) My sister, Justine, made the cross-country drive from Denver to here last week and got home Saturday night! She'll be here at least through September, which is great since Baby W. will definitely be making his arrival sometime between now and the end of July... hopefully on the later end of that range! We wish Justine could stay longer, but oh what a pity...we'll just have to go to Hawaii to visit her! She will likely be joining a team of staff to start a new YWAM base on the island of Kauai later this year.

We were loving the beautiful weather this weekend ~ we've had the windows open for over a week now! It's been so refreshing! We got up early on Saturday, and Mike's mom joined us to stand in line for a local Baby Consignment Sale... that was lots of fun! I might have to get there even earlier for the next one to really get the good stuff...I'm all about bargain shopping! Mike also painted our thrift-store-find glider on Saturday and now I just have to find fabric to recover it. There are a few things we splurge on, but for the most part, we have no problem with hand-me-downs and bargain finds for this little boy.
