Labor Day weekend

We decided to go camping for the Labor Day weekend.  We wanted to take the trailer out to see if everything was in working order, since we just fixed most of what we thought was broken.  Kevin had Friday and Monday off, so it was an extra long weekend for him.  Anyway, we loaded up Friday morning and headed out.  

We were pretty nervous about the refrigerator.  It seemed pretty simple to install, and that is kind of what scared us.  We also weren't sure just how cold the AC would be.  Since it was forcast to be a very hot weekend (about 98) we were nervous.  We chose only to go 1 hour from home (partly because of the trailer, partly because I am very pregnant) so we knew we could head home quickly if it was bad enough.

Well, to make a long story short the refrigerator worked great!  And the AC unit was SO cold we actually had to turn it down!  SUCCESS!  So we were able to enjoy the weekend.  In fact, I hate to say it, but there were times we were bored.  We figured something would go wrong so we would have to be fixing something, but that did not happen.  Kevin did a lot of fishing (not so much catching) and I read and tried to enjoy some quiet.

As you can see, we took Maggie with us.  We had taken her camping one other time, and it was pretty successful.  Well, this time was questionable.  She really likes to be outside, but we don't really trust her if we aren't out there.  Since it was so hot, we spent most of our time inside, and she was restless.  We went on lots of walks to try to wear her out, and it worked pretty well, but we're not real sure when we'll bring her back.

This is a picture of Kevin talking to our realtor.  We signed our portion of the closing stuff last Monday, and the buyers were supposed to finish up on Wednesday.  Well, there were some minor issues (which I won't explain because it will only make me mad again) so they rescheduled for Friday afternoon.  To make our mini vacation even better we were told that they signed and we got our money!  YAY, it is over!  One less thing to think about.

And lastly, here I am at 36 weeks.  Is that better for all of you who said I wasn't big in the last picture?  I wanted to post this, but also give a small explanation of a slight change of plans.  I won't go into all the details, but my delivery date has been moved up.  Our baby will now be delivered, via c-section, on September 12.  It is about 1 week sooner than we had thought, I will be 38 weeks at that point.  I am fine and the baby is fine, it is really a complicated story, but were all fine.

So, September 12th at 3pm we will have a baby (unless, of course, it decides to come earlier, but we are really trying to avoid that).  Please pray that this baby continues to grow.  Because it will be here two weeks early, it could be on the small side.  We just want a healthy baby, but this mom would feel better if this baby was a little chunky!
