35 Weeks...and Barca is a honeydew melon?

Well, the internet tells us that Barca is now the weight of a honeydew melon. She is definitely a strong kicker and wiggler. Her hiccups even move my belly and Nick has felt them. She has a tendency to wiggle her bottom and push it out so I'll end up with a little buldge at the top of my belly. She really likes to do this during project and construction meetings and I'm really self-conscious about the fact that my belly is wiggling and moving.

As Nick previously reported, I'm feeling great. I don't think anyone really believes me when I tell them that though. Although putting on my boots is an ordeal in the morning, but I can still do it. We'll see how much longer that lasts!
I'm still hard at work (see the photo), yes it is Fenway, although its hard to recognize now. I do have to take precautions, including a respirator due to all the dust and really watching where I'm walking, its amazing the number of tripping hazards. I'm pretty much on the construction site everyday and have become quite the novelty. At least Barca will have a story to tell that her mom was in steel-toed boots and a hardhat everyday during her last trimester as the project/field engineer at Fenway Park! Hey, my mom was doing underground nuclear testing while she was pregnant with me! The apple really doesn't fall far from the tree.

Barca's room is coming along. The crib is put together. My parents shipped out some artwork that they purchased for me when I was younger and we'll put it up in the room, eventually. Its some animation cells from the best show ever made, Animaniacs and a nice piece of artwork of the Disney princesses.

We have started having doctor appointments every week now. And our due date is rapidly approaching. Guess I better go to laundry, huh?

Are you going to bury a Yankee's jersey at Fenway?

My job is to make sure that nobody else buries a Yankee's jersey at Fenway! Although we did have a mountain dew bottle and a duck that I found in the concrete. That was an exciting morning...
