Nursery

Well the nursery is finally coming along! Thanks to the help of my wonderful parents we now have paint on the walls:) It was quite the tedious task but I love how it turned out. These pictures are just with the first coat of paint on them so they look much better now after just a few coats!


We picked up the crib also! It will be put together this week...hopefully:) Still need to do a lot of cleaning and some other decorative things but we are getting there. Only 14 weeks until he'll be here. I feel like it was just last week I was only 14 weeks!

Time is flying by!!!

Wow time sure is flying by...24 weeks already...into the 6th month! He's finally getting a little more active and Aaron has been able to feel some movement. It's mostly in the evening when i'm "relaxing" (if that's what you call it!) but it sure is fun! The room is slowly getting there. The windows are done and now all we need is the paint job and lots of cleaning and we'll be ready to start moving things in.


Aaron went to his "Dad's Only Class" last week. He was a little apprehensive when we signed him up but he really learned a lot. Actually I think he'll be teaching me things. They were taught about everything from feeding, diaper changing, bath time, and his favorite was how to make a baby "pass gas"! I definitely think he learned more than he thought he would.


My mom and I attended the One Week Boutique "first time mom's" sale the same night Aaron was at class. What a madhouse that was! You had to get a number to get into the building then you were let in by groups. After we shopped we had to wait in line for 1 1/2 hours to check out. Fortunately some good friends were kind enough to let us cut in line with them otherwise we would have been there all night! I'm still not sure why they host a first time mom's sale at 8p.m. though...we didn't get home until midnight! We did get some good purchases though...clothes, a rocking/talking horse, an umbrella stroller's for Grandma Barb's house, etc....



We're off to Nashville for the weekend for a wedding and a pre-anniversary get away. The doctor recommended we vacation now if we'd like to before the baby so since we can't take a "real" vacation we thought we'd see the sights of Nashville while we were there anyways.



Next Tuesday we finally meet our Doctor and go for the 24 week appoitnment.



Here is a 24 week picture...don't mind how awful I look as I was just getting ready for bed!
