10 year High School Reunion

It has been 10 years since high school graduation!! We had my class reunion this weekend in San Ramon and of course a pre-party before the reunion. Everyone was wasted...not just kinda drunk but out of control drunk, except for me...so sad!! I don't even know where to start with all the stories of the evening but the one that reminds me most of good old high school days the most was at the end of the evening, we were leaving and saw some of our friends outside drinking beers out the car so we were talking with them until the security saw us and escorted them off the property. I tried to tell the security guard it wasn't them and that I had to drink for 2 but he didn't buy it. And yes we used to drink in parking lots!!

Steve at the beginning of the reunion...he definitely drank lots of that vodkaJenn and Steve at the reunion

Class of 1998

This is where I could always find my friends....yes....at the bar
The bottle of wine that Stacey snuck into the reunion...if only I could have drank it too then talking to people I have talked to in a decade might not have been so painful!

And OMG the belly!!! I have never complained about people touching my stomach and I really don't mind as they are usually my friends that are touching it and want to feel the baby kick. I think it is fun to share with them and let them feel him move...but once people were wasted, they longer just touched the belly it was a full on all over rub....seriously people the baby isn't on my sides or that low or high....now take your hands off me and come back when you are sober!!

32 Week Belly Pics

Finally an updated belly pic. I am getting huge!!

I can't wait to be done....7 weeks max!! My cankles and legs are so swollen, I can't move my ankles and it hurts to bend my knees...it gets worse each week. My doc has already offered disability but I am going to try and get through 3 more weeks of work.

Oh and for some good news I passed my gestational diabetes test....yea!!!!

Baby Shower

We had one more baby shower at my Aunt's house with our family and friends in the Sacramento area, and a few of our friends even traveled up from So Cal to be with us...thanks Andrea, Jon and Serenity. Thank you for coming, it was awesome to hang out with you all!!

Here are a few of the pictures we took at the shower. We only got a few because we forgot to charge the battery to the camera. I think the new theme of my post is going to begin to revolve around us forgetting something!!

Thank you again Mom, Meg, Grandma and Tami for putting together another wonderful shower for us. And thank you to all our friends and family being there with us to celebrate Baby Starkel. We love you all!!

Some progress

Jeff had a lot of help on the addition this weekend and they made lots of progress.

Nick supervising from above
Jon ready to work....ear muffs, tool belt and glasses required
The living room has a ceilingAnd the upstairs has a floor
The floor is done, but they still have lots to do! (wire the electrical, do drywall touch ups, paint, baseboards, crown molding and the list goes on)

And one more major accomplishment this weekend.....we decided on a hardwood floor. This has been a hard decision we ordered a bunch of samples, went to the store and were even trying to "age" some of them outside in the sun!! And then our neighbor and project supervisor suggested we do the same hardwood floor we have downstairs....what an idea...neither of us even thought about this! I think my preggo brain is wearing off on Jeff, if it wasn't for Nick's suggestion we would still be trying to "age" the samples outside in the sun!

Oh and Dr. Oz confirmed on Oprah that the prego brain really does exisit!!!

3D Ultrasound

We did the 3D ultrasound at 29 weeks. The baby is head down with his face to my back so the it was hard to get good pics of his face. We got a few side profile pictures but none of his whole face. I guess it somewhat gives an idea of what he will look like, it still seems hard to tell to me! And his face is pushed up against something in there so he looks little smashed in some of the pictures, in other pictures the u/s tech did a good job getting the picture adjusted right.

A sprained ankle!

Yep that's right, I managed to sprain my ankle walking down the hallway at work yesterday. The heel of my shoe got caught in the cuff of my pants and twisted my ankle, good thing Keri was there to catch me from falling. Nothing like 2 pregos looking out for each other!!

After I tripped my ankle was numb but because of the cankles I thought nothing of the pain or swelling and went to the gym. Well as we were cooking dinner my ankle started hurting more and more, now I can barely walk on it, I think I might have to break out the crutches and go to the doctors!

Nothing like being 7 months pregnant and on crutches!

Addition

We're adding onto our house! You'd think we would have enough going on with having a kid in 2 months but apparently not. Jeff started demo last week and this weekend he started putting up the floor joist.( I think that's what they are! I don't help much....I just take pictures of them working.)

We are adding on a loft upstairs for the kids to have a game room and we can have a pool table in the living room.

This is my living room before
This is what the living room looks like now!

Hopefully someday soon I will back with completed pics of the addition and the nursery!

Baby Kaylee is here!

Jamie and Kristin had their little baby girl. She was born September 22 and weighed in at 9lb 6 oz. Kristin had a super short labor and we are all glad she made it to the hospital. Kaylee is super cute and such a good baby!
