It's the FINAL COUNTDOWN...da na na na

ok...so as evidenced by the title Justin and I are blogging jointly this week : D We have been busy bees the last couple weeks. Last week after work one night, Justin put together our stroller so we included a couple pics for you all. You can clearly see the progression of before, during, and after, and Daddy was so proud of his final masterpiece.

The belly continues to expand and Baby Van Ness' kicks and movements are getting stronger and stronger. The one piece of advice that I keep getting is to get my sleep in while I can, but that is one of the things that I am finding most difficult these days. However, all in all it has truly been an easy and healthy pregnancy, and for that we are both very thankful. As of my last doctor visit I have gained a total of 44 POUNDS...hmmmm. What is the likelihood, I ask, that we will deliver a 40 pound child? I know, I know.

So last night Justin and I went up to Green Valley Ranch Casino to see Steel Panther. As they say, the Greatest Heavy Metal Band...in Henderson : D It was sooooo funny!!! What was even funnier were some of the reactions to my big ol' belly. Unfortunately, I also had my first belly rub by a random stranger. I was so bummed...I made it all the way to my 9th month before a crazy got ahold of me. It was "Toga Night" at the casino and Justin whispered to me, "You should have asked her if you could rub her belly." Sooooo funny!!!!! We took some pictures so that the baby has evidence of his first concert!

Clearly, the baby has Justin's musical interests as he started moving and kicking (or as Justin said...rocking out) to Def Leppard's "Rock of Ages." We had a great time and amidst all of the work and school craziness, we were so happy to spend a weekend night together.

Well, that's about all for now. We are planning on finishing up the baby's room this week, so I hope to include new pics of his room on our next post. Take care and talk to you soon : )

-All our love

Heather, Justin, and Baby Van Ness
