Congratulations to my SIL (Sister in Law) MC who gave birth to a beautiful baby girl yesterday. Mommy and baby are both doing wonderfully! The baby is precious and SIL did a wonderful job. The nurses were all saying what a trooper she was and I hope I can do the same in a few months. This baby thing gets a little more real everyday but yesterday seeing the little one laying on MC's chest was like a reality slap across the face! RC and I are in hypermode now.

Must finish nursery! Must start buying diapers! Must do everything!

Wonderful Weekend :)

This weekend was so great! RC and I spent a lot of time together and got a lot done around the house. We taped off the whole basement so he can paint, did some general clean-up around the house, bought some patio furniture and a stand up freezer for our garage.

We are on our way for sure but we still have a bit to do. After we move his desk down to the basement he will paint the nursery. Then we can start putting the little girl's room together :)

Work until I go into labor?

I was always planning on working right up untill my due date, but recently I am wondering if that is going to work out. I have been so tired and uncomfortable already that i am scared I will be downright miserable come July. I am thinking that even a couple days would be nice to just relax.

So, as of right now I am going to plan on just going as long as I can... I am hoping to at least make it to the end of July (unless the little girl comes early). Maybe baby will be nice and come when I am 38 weeks. I say this because that is 2 less hot summer weeks of being pregnant. We will see!
