28 weeks and 2 days....12 more weeks to go!
Nursery is painted, decorated and now filled with stuff. We're very pleased with the color and are very much enjoying the Dr. Seuss/Cat In The Hat theme. The cat in the hat items are much higher quality than I'd expected when I saw them online. Our book sling is filled with books- that makes me happy. Doctors say everything is on track. Little one is kicking and rolling all the time. I've learned that myself, my brother and my sister were all over 10 pounds, Kris was 9.2 and my dad was 12.12...so this should be fun to do naturally, but I'm going to try my best. I've only gained 11 pounds according to the nurses but because I was so up and down anyway, it might be 15. Still not bad. Bananas, Cheerios and chicken have consumed my diet for the most part....and chocolate.
We had our shower Sunday. I'm not one to be the center of attention, so I'm sure I looked like a huge dork opening everything, and some stuff from people I didn't even know. We received a good variety of things on and off the registry. Ducks seemed to be the chosen theme (girls like elephants and frogs too;) ) but I was able to exchange a few for gift cards so once we know who's here we can buy the appropriate clothes. We were also able to buy a few things we still needed off the registry- a second car seat base so both of our cars can be ready to go whenever. This baby is lucky to have so much stuff already. Thanks to Mrs. W. and my mom for putting this all on and my sister for coming into town for it. THANK YOU to everyone who was able to come and help us celebrate and to everyone else who sent the little one a gift. Packages at my door everyday was absolutly awesome.
So, Christmas is around the corner and with the lack of days I'm working this month (yay Ford), I'm sure December will fly by...then I'm sure days will drag on haha. Happy Holidays!
