Two more months

My official due date was two months from yesterday! We finished everything in the nursery for now. Aunt Joan made the valance and crib skirt and it looks great! We'll deal with the rest of the stuff next month:) We do have to add some wall art! Betsy said she's willing to help me decorate large wooden letters to spell baby girl's name. We also found some wall stickers to add on the crib wall. We don't have a nursery theme or specific colors, basically everything goes...

This is the view from the doorway (now just imagine that Jeff's bike is somewhere in the room).


Here's a shot taken from the window.

Baby Girl's room

Yesterday we got our NEW CARPET installed in Baby Girl's room. Yay! Finally some progress was made. Jeff moved all the furniture into the room by himself (what a man!) while I cleaned the walls, baseboards, and every thing else in my sight. After a late lunch Jeff went into the attic to get the hand-me-down baby items we got from Wendy's girls. I did some more cleaning and read a few of the new board books while Jeff assembled the crib. If I told you he got it right on the first try would you believe me? HOORAY! Finally we put down the rug (which is upside down in the picture so it will flatten out). Amy is coming over today to bring me the all the baby clothes she washed for us:) and we'll have a few bags of hand-me-downs from Val's boss to clean. I am soooo glad to be getting this stuff done early. My back is killing from yesterday's seven hour work day.

(Jeff just realized I was posted a pic of the un-finished nursery so again, I have to mention that this is a work in progress:) Not that he's ever read this blog anyways!)

Our rug is what inspired our color choices for the room...bright, bold, cheerful:

10 weeks to go!

Everyone says, "It goes by so fast. Enjoy it!". I have been enjoying it...I feel good, I get to eat ice cream, and I can practically wear pajamas in public! Life is good (I sound like my mom). But I was thinking the other day about how I got pregnant in 2009 and it is 2010 already! Ummmm that's a year folks;) (That's a long time, right? Think about all you've done this year.) Alright, so not really, but my 2010 has been all about this pregnancy and I am ready for it to be all about an "outside baby"! I cannot believe I only have 10 weeks to go.

Here's my 40 inch non-waist at 30 weeks pregnant:

Yes my belly still slants downward, kind of like a ski slope.
