Our lovely baby bumps! Check um out!

Here's a picture of my friend, Meghan, and me at her wedding. I've decided to call this one "Lovely Baby Bumps" because she found out she is expecting too!!!!!!
It was honeymoon magic ; ) I can't wait for our kids to be able to go on playdates.

3D ultrasound

I am so glad I had a 3D ultrasound done yesterday. I debated doing one and finally bit the bullet. It was completely worth it. I can't believe how perfect he looks. I have a hard time doing anything but stare at his pictures. Here are a few...

The bumpy waves on his head are hair!!

It feels impossible to love anything this much, but I continue to fall more deeply in love with him each day.

Nursery progress

Brian and I put together the nursery furniture the other night. We have a complete bedroom set that includes: a lifetime crib, a changing table with hutch, and a dresser. I still need to get myself a rocker for feedings. The decorating is slowly happening. I still need to order some big letters so I can spell his name above his bed. Here are some of the progress pictures...

Baby furniture comes today

I can hardly wait! It's been tough to be confined to the bedroom during the remodel, and as it is I can't unpack anything. I need SOMETHING to do at this house. The baby's furniture is exciting because not only will it give me something to do, I will be able to set up his room. I'm going to wash his clothes today and get them prepared for the drawers and maybe I'll get some curtains. Since we are replacing all the windows, which will come in a few weeks, I'm not sure if I can put up curtains yet.....

Okay, so the electricians shut off our power so I didn't get to finish writing this this morning. The plumber is here now and has informed me that he will need to shut off the water for the rest of the day. This means I can't wash the baby's clothes and bedding : ( The new plan will be putting all the clothes away just so I have something to do and then undo all my hard work and wash it when the water gets turned back on again. It'll be fun!

Childbirth classes and other stuff

I just finished registering for our 3 session childbirth class! I can't believe preparation time is already upon us. He's scheduled to be here in only 96 days!!! I feel like there is still so much to do in terms of getting his room ready but the nursery furniture won't be delivered until the 12th of this month. I can't really get anything done in his room until after that. Now that we're at the new house, I guess I can at least start washing all his bedding and clothes and get them all hung up, but I'll probably unhang most of the clothes and stick them in drawers once the furniture gets here. Let the nesting begin!

In terms of other stuff, we are finally moved over. I have to make one last trip to our old house to drop off the keys and do a last minute walk-through. Everything with the house happened so fast (the prep., selling, moving, etc.) We will no longer own the house after 5pm today. It makes me sad because I love that house. Everything about it is perfect except the size. Unfortunately size is a big deal when you have an expanding family. The new house will be great once it's finished. It just feels like such a long road ahead with this remodel. I hope it's all done before the baby gets here. I hope the "remodel smell" is gone in time too. We spent our first night at the new house last night and all the prolonged exposure to the new materials smells set off a migraine. It's almost gone today.

Noted last but not least, my grandfather passed away last night. It was only a couple of weeks ago that we had my grandmother's services. I always thought he wold go fairly quickly after her, but I expected he would be around for at least a couple more months. I guess God intended for it to only be weeks. I feel like I should be more emotional about it, but to be honest, I think I'm just so exhausted physically and emotionally from everything that has happened this past month that his passing hasn't really sunk in. Or maybe I'm just happy he didn't have to be apart from my grandmother for very long. That's the way I would want it to be.

When it rains, it pours

I need a break. From everything. I am physically and emotionally exhausted. In addition to all the house stuff (we need to be out by Wednesday) and my grandmother passing, I just got a call that my grandfather is in the hospital for septic poisoning in his intestines and groin. He underwent the surgery, but they have to keep him sedated for several days because they can't sew up his body. Apparently he has to heal from the inside out. The survival rate is 50% for a healthy young person. Keeping my fingers crossed that an 80+ year old man has a chance. Why did it happen this month?! I know that sounds really selfish, but I just feel like I'm completely depleted. Selling, moving, remodeling, death, and pregnancy should not all be a part of a month time span.
