27 Weeks, 5 Days so far. 86 Days to go!

Not that I'm counting...Just a little update, we're doing fantastic. This little boy inside of me is kicking and moving and growing like crazy. I love feeling him wiggle around. The time is moving right along and I know he's going to be here before we know it. We need to get going on his nursery. We have a crib and dresser, and that's about it. His room was the office previously and we need to get rid of stuff in order to clear out his closet for all of his fun stuff.

One of my coworkers had a baby boy on Saturday and I got to hold him today, it made me so excited to have our little boy here!

In other news, Wednesday, September 7th, Orrin had surgery. He had a vertical sleeve gastrectomy. He started considering this as an option just over a year ago but wasn't ready at that time. They basically removed about 80% of his stomach and stapled what was left closed. His surgeon says he can lose approximately 160 pounds in 2 years. He was in the hospital for two nights and was thrilled to be able to come home on Friday. I think the most difficult part is the diet the week before the surgery and 3 weeks after. One week before surgery he was on full liquids. One week after he has to be on clear liquids and then two weeks after that back on full liquids again. Once that week is over he gets to start introducing soft solids (REAL FOOD!) again. I'm so excited for him and know that he's going to feel so much better.

My mom and dad came this last weekend for a visit. I love having family visit. They got here Friday night and then Saturday my dad worked like a maniac in our yard pulling weeds, trimming, edging and mowing the lawn. Between Orrin's surgery, and my pregnancy it was nice to have a week off from mowing. Thanks DAD!!!
