Yes sireee... I am nesting. I have been on a cleaning spree all weekend. It started on Friday with putting all of the Christmas gifts away. When Owen got home from work on Friday he had NO idea what kind of a weekend he was in for! He's been such a great husband (as always)... just standing there while I rummaged through piles in the basement saying things like, "what is this? We haven't used it since we moved here! Get rid of that!" As the pile for Goodwill grew he just smiled and carried things upstairs and downstairs. Smart man, he is.... he didn't question a thing!
Today we finished off the nursery. While I completely emptied the closet in the baby's room he just smiled and busied himself with putting the mobile together, added batteries to the baby monitors, and endlessly moved things for me. Tomorrow Carla and Ashlie are coming over to add the border to the wall. When all is complete I will post pictures to the blog! Stay tuned! And if you are wondering.... Owen has retreated to his man room, where I PROMISED I would not bother him for the rest of the night! :)

Career Options
I came up with a list of possible careers for Baby Spaite in the middle of the night since I was not sleeping...
1. Soccer player and/or a Rockette (depending on gender): The kicks from this baby certainly could rival any Rockette in past, present, or future Rockefeller Christmas shows. Also, the headbutts against my rib cage certainly indicate a potential soccer player.
2. Olympic Swimmer: Move over Michael Phelps... you've got NOTHING on this tyke with the amount of laps it does around Mom's belly each hour.
3. Cage Fighter: The little bambino certainly enjoys the confines of my rib cage and it definitely fights will all it's might. Though it's not a mother's dream career for their child, at this point I think it is a possibility.
4. Kicker for Grandpa Spaite's Columbiana Clippers: The team will be state playoff bound for sure!
Needless to say, Baby and I are not on the best of terms at the moment. So much for loving your unborn baby unconditionally! If I could put into words the pain my poor ribcage endures for a large majority of the day and night I would.
Apparently I did this to my own mother while I was in the womb. So now my mom just smiles at me with that twinkle of revenge in her eye that she only waited 30 years for! What goes around comes around.....

Butterball Turkey
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Owen and I went to both sides and had a great day. My Bambino that used to be basketball sized seems to have blown up into the butterball turkey!
I am growing by the day, and let me tell you, Baby is certainly active! It kicks, somersaults, and stretches out multiples times throughout the day. Random parts are now sticking out. Owen and I felt a foot jabbing out in the milk aisle of Giant Eagle this weekend. On Sunday a large lump stuck up on one side of my belly. Whether it was the head or it's rump, I'm not so sure. It was definitely round and something only a mother would find "cute!"
Tomorrow I go back to work - only 14 school days until Christmas break, and a few weeks in January and then.... maternity leave! Which let me tell you, could not come soon enough this year. I actually had a student tell me last Wednesday that I looked like a "big fat pig with my big stomach." Sigh.... the "darlings" I am surrounded by each day.
