Around The House

We are more than half way through February. 

Things have been busy here in the family; a new nephew was welcomed on 

Monday, February 11th, 2013 Joseph Richard Klocek. 

Congratulations, John and Maisie on your third child and third boy! He looks just like his brothers. A sweetheart.

After several months of Zac flying in and out of town for work trips (a few fun ones were squeezed in too!) he returned from his final trip (on the calendar that is) this past week. Actually, immediately after dropping him off at the airport is when I got the phone call my sister was in active labor and ready to go to the hospital! Like I said, things got busy.

And then how did Lent make its surprise visit so fast??? 

Rose and I welcomed Zac home on Wednesday afternoon just in time to make the evening mass for Ash Wednesday.

Here's to Our Lord blessing us all with a holy Lent.

37 weeks 4 days

 I had my 37 week pre-natal visit last Thursday (St. Valentines Day)

1cm, 70% effaced and -2 station.

Head down.

Anxious to hear if I have progressed this week. I go in Thursday for my 38 week.

I know internals rarely help in actually predicting when and etc but it is comforting that my body is preparing for the inevitable. Yay!

Zac's dad got everyone tickets for Martin Sexton next Friday....so if baby is still comfy and in the womb (which I am sure he/she will be) then we have a night out of chill live music to look forward to!

Zac took me out for an impromptu St. Valentine's Dinner.... sweet and simple. Yummy Mexican food!

Each year I have less of a desire to make Valentine's Day a big deal. But if I can receive flowers from my husband (especially if the flower delivery girls name is Rose) and I can put them on my window sill to enjoy while I do the dishes... I will take them. Thanks, Zac. I love you. 

This week I am using my bursts of morning energy to clean the house, tomorrow morning we are having the carpets cleaned (in time for new baby) and I am sure I will find more random things to clean between now and the baby.

During our down time, Rose and I just hang out and enjoy the time we have as just mom and Rose. In a matter of days there will be an addition... so I hope she is ready.

Saturday morning...
