Nursery

So, after seeing the pictures I posted of the nursery I decided I needed to get motivated. I found the curtains yesterday and Bj hung them for me tonight (he is working hard for the husband of the year award or as he says he already has it!). He also mailed the cushions for the rocking chair to Polly today so that she can recover them. I am so thankful she was able to do it for us because I am not sure I would made it through it. I think I am officially going to give up sewing! I have finished one door of the chifferobe and now am not happy with it...not sure what I will do now. Like before these pictures help me see what else I need. Next on the list is a rug, bookcase and a lamp. I have also with Bj's help rearranged the furniture in the room just about every way possible and am still not sure what to do. It is such a hard room to arrange just because it is so small and has one almost full wall of windows and another of doors.

I will be 27 weeks tomorrow and can't believe that we have made it this far already! I have been feeling great and am no longer going to sleep at 8:00. I go back to the Doctor next Monday.

26 weeks

Life is wonderful! I had another great check-up this week and my belly is still growing away. I am now 26 weeks! Molly's kicks and punches are getting stronger and stronger every day. I have not been able to tell a punch from a kick but am always trying to. We have started working on the nursery and are making progress at a very slow pace. The bed and changing table are up and ready but the chifferobe and rocking chair still have a ways to go. I have been trying to sew myself but am so messy at it that I get frustrated and put it down for weeks. I will get it finished and will post pictures when I do. In the mean time here are a few of the unfinished projects.

You really can't tell much from this picture except that I really need to get curtains!

Here is the rocking chair but the cushions have to be recovered so I just have the fabric laying on them.

I have mentioned before that we have been given many many clothes, blankets and bibs. It is wonderful and I don't think Molly will have to wear the same thing twice very many times if any at all. We are so thankful! Now I must find a place to put it all. Once I get them organized I will post some pictures.

We are also so happy that Spring is here and have really been enjoying the beautiful weather! Bj has just returned a bit early from a very rainy fly fishing trip in NC. My mom came and spent a few days with me while he BJ was gone. Here are few recent pictures of Caroline, Alen & Bodie one day when they stayed with us for a little while. Bodie loves Caroline and will let her basically do whatever she wants to him as you can see.

23 weeks & I just keep growing!

As you can tell I am growing away (I guess that means Molly is too)! I have been feeling her kicking more and more everyday. I love it! Everything is still going great! This pregnancy has really been a blessing and we are so excited about our growing family. We go back to the doctor on Monday so check back and hopefully we will have new ultrasound pictures.

So, I had to fire the place I normally get things momogrammed. Really it is not as much the mistake you see above but because they have moved and it is now really out of my way. I took a couple of onesies and burp clothes to get monogrammed and as you can see they got the burp clothes right and the onesies wrong. I was so disappointed because they were so cute. Oh well! I am planning on going to see the Lamm in a few weeks and will take her new onesies (plus a few other things) to monogram correctly!
