Date: September 9th
To the tenant in possesion of below described premises:
I am issuing an 14 day notice for eviction. You will have 14 days in which you can either gather your belongings and promtly vacate the premises, or wait until the final day. After which, you will be physically removed from the property.
You are being evicted due to breech of contract and destruction of property. Expansions only to the front of the house, within reasonable limits, were discussed. Not only have these limits been exceeded, but additions to the back of the house were also made.
Remodeling and gutting of the home was never approved, nor changing the initial layout and structure. And due to property damage, there are now leaks in both the upper and lower levels of the home. Ontop of which, the landlord has received numerous complaints about nightly disturbances.
After 14 days from this day that you don't comply with the notice will result in immediate and forceful removal at my discretion.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Sincerely,
Mom

The Survey
Sleep: I'm fully prepared to never experience it again.
Best moment this week: Brian's birthday and spending some quality time together:)
Movement: Mommy's ribs are fun to play with apparently.
Food cravings: Cream cheese.
Belly Button in or out? Evaporating before my very eyes!
What I miss: Oh, there's a long list.
What I am looking forward to: See above.
Weekly Wisdom: Only 3 more weeks... Only 3 more weeks...
Milestones: Today Sidney is full term, so if he wants to come early his little lungs should be fully capable of screaming as loud as he wants!

37 Weeks
It's September and Sidney's full term!!
How your baby's growing:
Congratulations — your baby is full term! This means that if your baby arrives now, his lungs should be fully mature and ready to adjust to life outside the womb, even though your due date is still three weeks away.
Your baby weighs 6 1/3 pounds and measures a bit over 19 inches, head to heel (like a stalk of Swiss chard). Many babies have a full head of hair at birth, with locks from 1/2 inch to 1 1/2 inches long. But don't be surprised if your baby's hair isn't the same color as yours. Dark-haired couples are sometimes thrown for a loop when their children come out as blonds or redheads, and fair-haired couples have been surprised by Elvis look-alikes. And then, of course, some babies sport only peach fuzz.

35 Week Survey
Sleep: I miss it:(
Best moment this week: The one night that I did sleep 8 hours straight, with the help of a glass of wine- don't worry, Dr said it was ok. It's even recommended occasionally.
Movement: Getting few and far between, but he's running out of room in there, so it's expected.
Food cravings: Chocolate ice cream and cottage cheese, but not together.
Belly Button in or out? Still got it!
What I miss: Pants without huge elastic waists that make my stomach itch.
What I am looking forward to: Pants that don't have huge elastic waists that make my stomach itch.
Weekly Wisdom: "It is not physically possible to be pregnant forever."
Milestones: Just getting closer every day!

35 Weeks
Theoretically only 5 weeks to go!
Your baby doesn't have much room to maneuver now that he's over 18 inches long and tips the scales at 5 1/4 pounds (pick up a honeydew melon). Because it's so snug in your womb, he isn't likely to be doing somersaults anymore, but the number of times he kicks should remain about the same. His kidneys are fully developed now, and his liver can process some waste products. Most of his basic physical development is now complete — he'll spend the next few weeks putting on weight.

Home Makeover Post, Take Two
Ok, internet. Please do not eat this entry. I have learned how to outsmart you and will be saving my work periodically this time.
Here is an update to all the work we have been doing on our house lately. If you are on my Facebook, you've seen these already- they're just organized into albums now. But if you (read: my mother) don't have a FB account, then these pictures are brand new to you and I hope you enjoy them.
And furthermore, I'd like to thank my Mom and Dad for all of the hard work they have done to make this a reality. Without their guidance and several weekends of hard work and sacrifice, Brian and I would probably still be at square one. Thank you guys for helping us preparing a home that CPS won't be tempted to take Sidney out of. (just a joke about the CPS thing, funny ha-ha)
AND ON WITH THE PICTURES! Keep in mind, this is still a work in progress- more pictures to follow in the coming days/weeks.

34 Weeks
Your baby now weighs about 4 3/4 pounds (like your average cantaloupe) and is almost 18 inches long. His fat layers — which will help regulate his body temperature once he's born — are filling him out, making him rounder. His skin is also smoother than ever. His central nervous system is maturing and his lungs are continuing to mature as well. If you've been nervous about preterm labor, you'll be happy to know that babies born between 34 and 37 weeks who have no other health problems generally do fine. They may need a short stay in the neonatal nursery and may have a few short-term health issues, but in the long run, they usually do as well as full-term babies.
How far along? 34 weeks
Sleep: Between peeing 9 times a night and killer leg cramps, not a whole lot. Guess I'll be used to it here soon!
Best moment this week: Last night laying on the couch watching Sid dance in my belly while Brian played his mandolin.
Movement: Not as frequent as it used to be, but the jabs and kicks are much stronger.
Food cravings: A milkshake from Hardees. Yum!
Belly Button in or out? Still got it!
What I miss: Vodka.
What I am looking forward to: Vodka.
Weekly Wisdom: "It is not physically possible to be pregnant forever."
Milestones: 34 weeks means that the Dr. will not try to stop labor at this point. Exciting and scary all at the same time!

Newsflash!
The handy dandy ticker down at the bottom of this page has informed me that I only have 50 days to go. Guess I should get some bags packed, huh?
33 Week Survey
I almost forgot the best part- the part where I get to be sarcastic!
How far along? 33 weeks into my 40 sentence. (I kid, I kid)
Total weight gain/loss: A lot.
Stretch marks? Still got them, even though they seem to be fading a little.
Sleep: Averaging 4 hours a week now. You read that correctly.
Best moment this week: Our baby shower. It was awesome!
Movement: Lots of punches and kicks when I finally get settled in the bed.
Food cravings: Nothing in particular, just lots of it.
Belly Button in or out? Still in, amazingly.
What I miss: Getting out of bed/off the couch/in and out of the car with ease.
What I am looking forward to: Finally getting the nursery set up.
Weekly Wisdom: Patience, Prudence.
Milestones: Getting closer to full term, where I will not disagree with Sidney if he feels he's just had enough of my uterus and wants out!

33 Weeks
EEK! That means only 7 to go! And I double checked the calendar and I'm on the right week this time, even if I'm jumping the gun a day early;)
This week your baby weighs a little over 4 pounds (heft a pineapple) and has passed the 17-inch mark. He's rapidly losing that wrinkled, alien look and his skeleton is hardening. The bones in his skull aren't fused together, which allows them to move and slightly overlap, thus making it easier for him to fit through the birth canal. (The pressure on the head during birth is so intense that many babies are born with a conehead-like appearance.) These bones don't entirely fuse until early adulthood, so they can grow as his brain and other tissue expands during infancy and childhood.

Baby Shower!!
This past Saturday was my baby shower, and I had so much fun! My sister in law Erin and mother in law Lynn were in charge of the festivities, and they did such a good job:) The food was great, the games were fun, and all in all, everyone had a wonderful time- I know I did! And a special thanks to Stephanie for writing up our very own personalized Baby Mad Lib- it was hilarious! (Will be posting it here soon for all to read) And of course, Sidney was literally showered with presents- he is so lucky to have so many people that love him!
Here's is a picture of what I could fit on his changing table we received- there's tons more, and I can't wait to get it all set up in his room!

What's been going on at the Dawson's
We've been hard at work, with the help of my mom and dad, on finishing the downstairs gameroom/family room, and now our first project is done! Here's some pictures- we're still in the decoration process, so it's not totally done just yet:)
Before
And after
And since that project is getting wrapped up, we've been hard at work on Sidney's room. We're about 50% done in there, and hope to have it done by next weekend- here's some progress pics.
The floors in Sid's room need to be sanded and refinished, so we're gonna bring in the belt sander next weekend and get that taken care of. Then all that will be left is the fun stuff- decorating!

32 Weeks
Oopsie! Where'd 30 and 31 weeks go?!
By now, your baby weighs 3.75 pounds (pick up a large jicama) and is about 16.7 inches long, taking up a lot of space in your uterus. You're gaining about a pound a week and roughly half of that goes right to your baby. In fact, he'll gain a third to half of his birth weight during the next 7 weeks as he fattens up for survival outside the womb. He now has toenails, fingernails, and real hair (or at least respectable peach fuzz). His skin is becoming soft and smooth as he plumps up in preparation for birth.
How far along? 32 Weeks and I'm over it.
Total weight gain/loss: Over it.
Stretch marks? Over them.
Sleep: So over it I don't even do it anymore.
Best moment this week: Staying home from work on Monday because I'm so OVER IT.
Movement: The only thing that I am not over.
Food cravings: Whatever doesn't run away when I try to eat it.
Belly Button in or out? Ugh.
What I miss: Walking, not waddling.
What I am looking forward to: September.
Weekly Wisdom: I'm SO over it.
Milestones: I've finally reached the point that I'M OVER IT!!!

29 Weeks!
Your baby now weighs about 2 1/2 pounds (like a butternut squash) and is a tad over 15 inches long from head to heel. His muscles and lungs are continuing to mature, and his head is growing bigger to make room for his developing brain. To meet his increasing nutritional demands, you'll need plenty of protein, vitamins C, folic acid, and iron. And because his bones are soaking up lots of calcium, be sure to drink your milk (or find another good source of calcium, such as cheese, yogurt, or enriched orange juice). This trimester, about 250 milligrams of calcium are deposited in your baby's hardening skeleton each day.
How far along? 29 weeks- and I feel like I've got 29 to go:/
Total weight gain/loss: I don't even know anymore. Enough.
Stretch marks? Still there.
Sleep: Thank the Jesus for Snoogles! Now if I can just pry it away from Brian...
Best moment this week: Getting the crib together without having any leftover screws and whatnot;) AND this was a big accomplishment, since we didn't have any instructions- but what do you expect when the crib is older than you!
Movement: Kicking the crap out of me riiiight now. I think I actually felt a foot the other day when I pushed back where he was kicking!
Food cravings: Orange juice.
Belly Button in or out? Losing a little more everyday...
What I miss: Shoes that fit.
What I am looking forward to: Getting a mattress for the crib and getting all the bedding put together.
Weekly Wisdom: Drink lots of water and go swimming as much as possible.
Milestones: I think I had the first serious Braxton Hicks contraction last night- it hurt like crazy!

The Third Trimester
By this week, your baby weighs two and a quarter pounds (like a Chinese cabbage) and measures 14.8 inches from the top of his head to his heels. He can blink his eyes, which now sport lashes. With his eyesight developing, he may be able to see the light that filters in through your womb. He's also developing billions of neurons in his brain and adding more body fat in preparation for life in the outside world.
How far along? 28 weeks- the home stretch!
Total weight gain/loss: Holding at 20 lbs.
Favorite flavor Tic-Tac? Orange
Stretch marks? Nothing new to speak of.
Sleep: Once again, I am able to sleep. The cats are doing their best to keep this from happening.
Best moment this week: Getting a bunch of work done on the house.
Movement: moves.
Food cravings: A Magical Mystery Tour from Mellow Mushroom.
Belly Button in or out? Still in. YAY!
What I miss: My hips not hurting...
What I am looking forward to: Ridding myself of my sciatic vein much like one would de-vein a shrimp.
Weekly Wisdom: Don't give up.
Milestones: I think the nesting bug is back, and here to stay.

27 Weeks
This week, your baby weighs almost 2 pounds (like a head of cauliflower) and is about 14 1/2 inches long with his legs extended. He's sleeping and waking at regular intervals, opening and closing his eyes, and perhaps even sucking his fingers. With more brain tissue developing, your baby's brain is very active now. While his lungs are still immature, they would be capable of functioning — with a lot of medical help — if he were to be born now. Chalk up any tiny rhythmic movements you may be feeling to a case of baby hiccups, which may be common from now on. Each episode usually lasts only a few moments, and they don't bother him, so just relax and enjoy the tickle.
AND the 27 Weeks Survey! (I edited the boring questions with some new ones)
How far along? 27 down, 13-10 to go! (sometimes babies come early, and I like to be dramatic)
Total weight gain/loss: Found those two I lost last week.
If you could be on any television show, past or present, what would it be? You Can't Do That On Television or Wipeout.
Stretch marks? No new ones! Woohoo!
Sleep: After a week of getting 4 hours of fitful sleep, I have finally slept two nights in a row for 8 hours, without getting up to pee even once! Don't hate.
Best moment this week: Floating in the lake. Man, did that feel good on my hips!
Movement: is slow.
Food cravings: I have no appetite this week, oddly enough.
Astrology Signs: Virgo, unless I can keep my legs crossed 2 extra days.
Belly Button in or out? Running out of bellybutton.
What I miss: Winter.
What I am looking forward to: Setting up the crib!
Weekly Wisdom: Pregnancy hormones can make you a crazy person. Before you say something out loud, pratice saying it three times over in your head. If it still sounds ok to say, go for it.
Milestones: Going to do my GD test this Thursday.

26 Weeks Pic
And boy, is it hot outside! My ankles are paying dearly! This picture was taken this morning, and for some reason after seeing this, it's hit me really hard that I will be a mom soon. And I'm freaking out.
Mooo!
Mooo!
Baby Supplies
Most of my time lately has been taken up by a never ending crochet project, so I took a breather from that and made a few side projects over the past two days. The top pic is of some burp cloths I fancied up with some Amy Butler fabric I've been hoarding, and the other is a changing mat. It's canvas/Amy Butler fabric, and it matches my canvas/green diaper bag. I recycled an old towel as the batting, so it has plenty of extra cushion (however I learned that sewing machine needles aren't crazy about sewing through two layers of canvas plus a bath towel, and they will show their displeasure with you in the final 4 inches of your project by breaking in two and jamming up your sewing machine.)
And the bottom picture (please excuse the blur) is another burp cloth made from some more material I've been stingy with and a Peepee Teepee. I've seen them in Uncommon Goods, but I'm cheap and I hate to buy something I know I can make.

Do's and Don't of Infant Care
(borrowed from another site)
Becoming a good parent means much more than knowing a lot about babies. Ask pediatric doctors or nurses what it was like for them to be new parents. They will tell you that all their knowledge about babies was not enough to keep them from being overwhelmed by their own babies.
All new parents feel the same way. All new parents work at knowing, understanding, and loving their babies. If you want to learn all about your newborn baby, and be able to respond to his/her needs appropriately - it is going to take a lot of your time.
In case you’re a young mother or father, having difficulties in putting the baby to sleep or feeding him, these instructions are the clearest you can get.
Here are some dos and don’ts when it comes to caring for the baby!
