Nursery!

Well, we've made a lot of progress in the last couple of weeks! Our room is beginning to look like a nursery!! We got it all painted in 2 days and this past weekend we picked up the furniture and put it together! Well...only the crib needed put together, and Rick came over to help with that much. Heather and I got to hang out which was wonderful! I have to say, the boys did a great job! I haven't gotten to the decorating part. I'm saving that for when Nate is working his outage and I'm home alone...bored out of my mind!!! It's surreal walking by the room now and seeing the crib and changing table...but it's very exciting!!!
I'm 25 weeks and counting (actually will be 26 tomorrow!). Time is really flying by! Had a doctor's appointment and everything was fine. Her heart rate is great, I'm measuring well, and I got my flu shot! I'm getting bigger and bigger...enough to warrent comments from others. I never realized what pregnant women meant when they said "Don't ever tell a pregnant lady she is getting huge!". Haha...soooo true :) Things are going great and we are very excited for the upcoming weeks!!!
I have pictures of the old paint job, new paint job, and the furniture! Enjoy :) I'll put more when I have some decorating done!!!




Old blue paint...perfect for a boy...haha, not this time :)




New paint job!!! Called Arabian Sands....woohoo ;)


Nate & Rick ... having oh so much fun putting together the crib!


I love our crib!!

22 weeks...(& then some!)

Well...I'm behind in my posts...again! I blame the nasty cold I had all last week! I'm mostly over it, but still have a little cough! I think colds are worse when you are pregnant...or else I'm just a bigger wuss! Not much to update on besides my growing belly. My friends and family are convinced (and have no problem telling me!) that I'm going to be 'huge' in a couple of months. Great...looking forward to it ;)
Tomorrow Nate and I are going to register at Babies R Us!! I'm so excited! I have been waiting patiently for this day!! There is so much to choose from though, hopefully it won't be too overwhelming. Beth made me an awesome list of things to definitely get and things to avoid. It's going to be so helpful as we make our way through those aisles!! I'm pretty sure we will do Target too, just not sure when we will get there. Next weekend the tentative plan is to paint the nursery. I think we're just going to go with a beige or tan...and then just accent it with girly things. That way our next one we can go either way :) Nate is being sent to Atlanta in October for a week and then right after starts his dreaded outage, so we (or I, haha) want the nursery semi-done before that. Because before we know it, it will be the end of November!! I would like a place to put all the stuff from the shower!! So, fingers crossed I'll have some nursery progess pictures next week!!

Here's me and my little girl at 22 weeks :)
