Pictures, Pictures, Pictures

Matt got the closet done tonight and the nursery cleaned of big boy toys!!  Funny it takes him so long to build it and only takes me 30 minutes to fill it!?!?!?!?!  A baby could ALMOST live here :o)  Enjoy...



30 weeks!!  I am now 31, 9 more to go!!

Waiting, waiting, waiting

Sorry for the delay in posts. I was planning on posting last Sunday, but then we started making big progress in the nursery so I thought I would wait and post pictures....Well it is a week later and still no pictures, but it is because we/Matt are/is making such progress every day that the pictures are old. I am being told that the closet will be done tomorrow and therefore the tools will be out of the room and pictures will look good!!! This past week the nursery got a changing table, dresser, ceiling fan, curtain rods, curtains, clock, and glider rocker!!! Items are slowly making their way out of totes in my office and into the nursery.

Today I am 31 weeks, we are officially in the single week countdown. I start having doctors appointments every 2 weeks. We also started our prenatal classes this past week. Pretty informational, but all we really got this week is that it hurts like crazy, but there is no going back and only one way out....good thing they have Great drugs now ;o).

I have also had a VERY active baby the past couple weeks. Sleeping has become a challenge, not because I can't get comfortable, but because every time I do baby H likes to have a little dance party. I was woke up a couple times last week between 5 and 5:30 due to a party in my tummy I didn't know I was invited to.

I think that is all for now...hopefully the closet will be done and pictures will be posted tomorrow!!!

Boy or Girl???

Today I am officially 29 weeks!!  Only 11 more weeks to go!  The nursery has started looking more and more like a nursery and not a room under construction.  The crown molding is up and today we bought a ceiling fan and the stuff to put in a closet organizer.  I am going to start decorating in there yet!! 

Matt and I also had a lot of fun shopping at Target for our "take home outfit."  Since we don't know what we are having we bought a little girl and a little boy outfit.  What outfit do you think baby H will be coming home in?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

                                       Baby Boy Hospital Outfit...who doesn't love a sweater vest!!

                                           Baby Girl Hospital outfit...ruffles and a tutu!

That's about all for now, hopefully with my next posting I will have pictures of a nursery with furniture!!!

Favorite color will be....RED

So tonight Matt is tackling the project of crown molding.  With the joys of a house built in the 70's we have all popcorn ceilings.  Those of you who have these awesome popcorn ceilings understand the horridness of trying to paint a straight edge on the top of the wall.  So while painting our 4 coats of red paint Matt finally got frustrated and said screw it, we're putting up crown molding so go ahead and paint the ceiling...and we did!!  So now, as he is putting up the great looking crown molding I get informed that we are never, ever changing anything in this nursery and our child's favorite color will be red.  He doesn't care if they say blue, pink, purple or green.  Nope, it is red, for eternity. 

Good thing they will be raised a cyclone fan...CY anyone???  Maybe some lady bugs or Spiderman in our future??
