This video fills my heart with so much happiness I feel like it's going to burst.

July seems to be FLYING by, and each week brings us closer to "baby watch" as Ander puts it. Being pregnant is really weird, because some days you feel like you're going to be pregnant forever, and some days you look back and realized it's not that long at all! This week is one of the weeks where I feel like it's never going to end, I'll be pregnant forever.

No, I KNOW this baby will come in September, but these days I feel like I've been pregnant all my life.

I apologize for the somewhat poor picture quality. This is 32 weeks, believe it or not!!

But July has definitely had it's perks. A client of mine who lives right behind the Lash Lounge asked Ander and me to housesit for her family while they were out of town the entire month of July. Ander and I had never housesat before, (we would be dogsitting too, their little Yorkie/Maltese mix Otis) but I knew she lived in a nice area so we agreed. It would cut down on our power bill for the month if we didn't stay in the apartment!

Needless to say, we got a little more than we bargained for! This is a view of the house from the backyard, the front yard has too many trees to get a good view, but this is our vacation home for the entire month of July!

I will admit, I am going to miss some things about this house. For one thing I feel almost no sense of responsibility except keeping the kitchen clean and sometimes doing laundry. Most days that I'm not working I lay around on the couch and play iPhone games, or play my video game on the Wii upstairs. Of course I have to get some pool time in, along with May-May and Otis. May-May LOVES the pool, and it feels so good to get the weight of this baby off of my body.

In the evenings Ander and I cook in a cavernous kitchen and then watch our favorite shows on Netflix in the movie theater room with reclining seats.

But I think the thing I will miss the most about this house is just having a yard. I don't have to walk May-May around our apartment building just go get her to go potty. I can open the door and both dogs go out and do their business without any supervision. It's wonderful.

Although the other night we did find a SCORPION. That changed things just a little bit. I don't really walk around barefoot anymore. We found him outside, (whew!) but still. That was the first scorpion I have ever seen since moving to Texas. He was running straight for Ander's bare feet, too.

But so far we have enjoyed our time here immensely. It's given us both time off of the stresses of the tiny Meine, and all the things we worry about at our apartment. It's like a "staycation"!

But because I'm in the last two months of my pregnancy, there are not-so-awesome moments I'm beginning to have in this awesome house:

I have to go to the bathroom ALL the time. Usually in the middle of the night.

I can't get comfortable very easily while trying to sleep

The tile flooring throughout the entire kitchen KILLS my feet

I am hot, all the time

and last but not least:

Last night I was informed by a hospital doctor that I have a kidney stone.

Darn darn darn DARNITY darn!!!!

I'm so mad at myself for not drinking enough water. I was trying to cut down on water intake because I was always in the bathroom so much!! I always had to choose between quenching my thirst or spending all night in and out of the bathroom.

So this morning after sitting in the hospital until 1am this morning, I feel better, but sad. I feel like I brought this on myself and it could have been avoided completely if I would have just drank enough water. Unfortunately we're learning to hate the hospital. Each time we've had to go we've been there for HOURS, and it just wastes so much time.

But on a happier note, and for a happy ending to this post, baby Charlotte gave me some good video footage this morning.
