Snow and baby things.

Yesterday, we ended up with just around 14 inches of snow.  We have drift in our backyard that even Guinness would disappear into.  It's nice and pretty, and I wouldn't mind running around in the snow with Guinness if it wasn't also negative degrees outside!  Jeremy and I have both been snow in from work (darn!). The dog won't venture across the huge snowdrift to have more room to do his business, so we'll be shoveling and sanitizing the back porch as soon as we can see it again.....Needless to say we haven't gone further than our back or front porch in over 24 hours.
So yesterday, we cleaned up the office, Jeremy played some Everquest, Guinness and I napped and watched tv, Jeremy and I watched Be Cool, and then Jeremy made tomato sauce for spaghetti....mmmmmmmmmm! We also played around with baby Jacob.  He was very busy kicking around most of the day.  Jeremy can just barely feel him when he kicks....it has to be a strong ka-pow though otherwise he doesn't feel it.  I also read that if you put your ear to my tummy you could hear the baby's heartbeat, so of course we had to try it! Jeremy was so cute putting his ear to my tummy, and I held my breathe (just to make it quieter lol) AND Jeremy said he could hear his heartbeat!!!!!! I told him I was jealous of that, but then I quickly said I guess you're jealous I can feel him move, so we're even.  I love seeing his face light up when I say that Jacob is a busy boy, kicking away, so I'm super happy he can start to partake in "hearing" and feeling Jacob. 
On today's agenda we have fold some laundry, clean the bathrooms, sweep the floors (not wet washing them...no point it's all snowy, everywhere!), and finally baking some cookies!  We may also investigate the driveway and see how much shoveling there is to be able to see the world again. We are supposed to host the HOA board mtg at our house tonite, but I think it will only happen if people are willing to trek across the snow in the boots and coats so we'll see. I can't say I would if it were at someone else house....
We are so thankful we kept power and that it seems like the rest of the state did too!  I would have been one cranky preggo without heat!
On a side-note....only 105 days left!!!!!!!!
