After reading my cousin Molly's blog, I am insanely jealous that she is getting the new iPod Nano. It sounds SO cool. I have yet to even get even a regular iPod! I can't wait to hear how amazing it is. But, I do love my tiny off brand Mp3 player too.

We didn't do much this weekend, which was fine with me. Friday we stayed home and hung out, ate some take out from Carbone's and watched TV. Saturday, Madison decided that even though Daddy was already up, she was going to lick me from 7:30-9am until I got up. She eventually won. I spent most of the day cleaning the upstairs, doing laundry, etc. Mike washed the new vehicle (I keep forgetting to take a picture of it) and vacuumed it all.

Later, we went over to Matt and Jill's for the evening. They were childless for the night, so we went out to dinner and then sat in their new hot tub. No worries-the temperature was a lukewarm 97 degrees, so I am allowed to sit in there. It was like bath water and felt really good. I also had to break out the borrowed maternity swimsuit, which was oh so joyful. Thankfully it fit fine, it's just when you look in the mirror and see your belly hanging out that you're like, "gah". I am still gaining weight at a slow, but steady rate, which is fine with me.

The evening was late for us, which is unusual, so I slept in. Madison decided that 6:15am was the time to eat, but thankfully she went back to sleep this time. She is my shadow. On Sunday she stayed with me as I finished the laundry and was putting it all away. She tends to lay right on the bed, in the midst of it all, but she has to be near me. She even follows me into the bathroom lately and sits there. I've been wondering what that is all about? Maybe she is sensing more hormonal changes in me and is overprotective. This morning I was resting before work and reading a couple pages of my book and she put her paw in the middle of the page like, "Excuse me, pay attention to me!"

Mike worked on the basement yesterday and has gotten most of his framing done. The wiring will have to begin shortly, which he needs help on. Otherwise, it's moving along really well. I am very proud of all the work he has done on his own, since he's had no experience before. Although I am sure he enjoyed the beginning of the NFL season this past week, he is more then counting down the days until October 5th when the NHL season begins. (Which is ALSO Mario Lemieux's birthday, Sidney Crosby's debut, and our first Lamaze class, so he has to tape it all anyway!)
