Still Pregnant...

Yikes, I can't believe it has been a month! It has been a busy month, many things have been accomplished. The nursery is mostly finished, there are just a few things left to hang on the wall. However most of them have to do with her name so they will not be hung till after she is born. With the help of my step dad the closet is complete until I need to add more rods to hang clothes on. Right now I need the storage to stack things, like diapers.

I want to say a HUGE thank you to all the people that helped with my baby shower, it was amazing! Thank you to Dave and Jen for having it at their house, and my mom, Laura, Erika, Aunt Connie, Alex, Ms. Pat, Courtney, Sarah, and Mrs. Sue for doing everything they did to make it wonderful! As well as everyone else who attended, it was so nice to see everyone! :)

I have posted a few pictures of the nursery once she is here I will do my best to post some more once all the artwork is hung.

Baby Bruce is doing great, we had an appointment last thursday and my blood pressure is still good, and she is very active. I am 38 weeks today, she was considered full term last week so I am ready for her arrival. I am hoping she will come on her due date because Jon and I were both born on our due dates. I think it would be amazing if she were to. However, I will not complain if she would like to grace us with her presence earlier. I am feeling good, still getting around doing things, just uncomfortable at times. The hardest part is after I have been sitting for a long period of time I get stiff, but once I start moving again I am good to go.

Maybe my next post will FINALLY reveal her name because she was born, or it will be just another update ;)

February 6, 2012

We have an update on the nursery, it is painted and has a few pieces of furniture in it! Together Jon and I picked out the color and the way we wanted it painted. It is a soft yellow called Haystack with white chair railing. When we were discussing the nursery I asked him if he wanted to do a theme and he looked at me like I had 3 heads and said what do you mean?! I explained it to him and he didn't like that idea. We decided to just put things up that we like that have pops of color. I have found a lot of different pieces of art  for the walls and can't wait to hang them. I plan to put her name on the wall in wooden letters but that will have to wait till after she is born… ;)

A couple of weekends ago I put the crib and the dresser together with the help of my sister Erika, and my mom helped a little when she wasn't busy washing Baby Bruce's stylish outfits that we have already received. Once we had the dresser put together mom went right to work filling it up with all the freshly washed baby clothes…Yes we used Dreft not to worry. For now the nursery is still not ready to be revealed but once I have it the way I want it set up I promise to post a picture.

As for me, I am tired and a little sore but overall I can't complain. My appointments are all going well and they have no concerns. This week and here on out I will be seen every week! Yikes…She is coming! :)
