Labor Day weekend

Today has been exactly the kind of day I needed. I think I did way too much yesterday and my body was screaming at me. I should probably learn to listen to my body especially since I'm only 4 weeks away from my 40th week of pregnancy! I fell asleep quickly last night propped up with pillows, and found that it lessened the pelvic pain immensely. YAY, this makes me so happy! I woke up the first time at 3:45 am to pee, then again at 6 am. By that time it was already pretty bright out, but I managed to sleep for another 2 hours. I was incredibly hungry so Matt and I made a huge breakfast. He talked about washing the carpet downstairs so I went back to my bed with the intention of reading our hospital booklet & listen to Live 105 since they're playing "old school" music all weekend that makes me nostalgic and perfectly content. Before I knew it, I woke up from a nap an hour later. I found out that during my nap, Mr. Rhoads had done laundry, went grocery shopping at Costco, and washed the carpet twice. Do I have an amazing husband, or what??

Making me brownies because I was craving them...

Cutting wood to add to the deck, adding glow-in-the-dark stars to the nursery's ceiling....
and those are only a few of the things he's been up to. I have zero doubt in my mind that this man will make an excellent father.

We can't wait to meet baby...the reason why I keep calling her baby is because we plan on keeping her name a surprise. We had people at our baby shower vote for one out of 3 names we had picked out and the winner was clearly one of them.
Wow, I cannot believe I'm going to be a mom....a MOM!!!!
