norsegirlFinished assembling the furniture. One of the seat cushions is stained and the table top is a bit of a mess (neon yellow wood-glue showing through the urethane in one spot and the hardware installed wonky so it closes with a gap) so we'll have to go back and exchange those bits, but it's mostly done. I can live with it for the week my parents are here anyway.
When I'd mostly finished putting the table together and hit that 2-person step that all the larger Ikea furniture has (where you just need a second set of hands to support the weight of some long piece that's only held up by one end for like 5 minutes) I crawled back into bed to wake Jason. We had a few quiet moments, which of course meant the baby woke up, and he got to feel it kick! Finally it co-operates. Usually the second his hand goes to my belly it calms right down. We think it likes the heat. But this morning there was no stopping. All kinds of thumps and bumps.
Stinks to high heaven here. Apparently there's a massive 90,000 acre brush fire that has eaten up two towns up near Dallas. I'm amazed we can smell it from this far away.
I think I might go have a shower and finish off the last few things that need to be done in my parents' room. Then maybe tidy my room and the game room up a bit. And of course the kitchen is still half-done from earlier this week, so that has to get done too. That should keep me busy for most of the day until Jason gets home so I can go buy the step ladder and hang the downstairs curtains. I'm thinking I should reward myself with sushi tonight (vegetarian sushi with no raw fish, I know the stupid rules *sigh*).
All in all, I'm not going to get the entire to-do list done (I never really planned to) but I'm on target to have the place looking decent at least. Off to work...

On the down-side, there's the whole baby moving around ALL THE TIME thing. It feels odd and I can't sleep. It's a bit like that bubbly feeling you get when you have gas, but minus the pressure/pain and plus some heartburn. On one hand, knowing it's baby is cool, but on the other hand I kind of miss my body being mine.
