What a difference a few of weeks makes!

Hi, everyone. Haven't updated in awhile...not much exciting going on. It seems we're to the part of pregnancy where we settle in to wait. There's still lots to do, but none of it is too exciting to write about. But I will anyway....


We finally got the nursery cleaned out, and the crib and changing table set up. I ordered a couple of new pieces of furniture to go in there. My big splurge will be a glider and ottoman - I imagine I'll be in it quite a bit! Here's what we've got to work with. It's a lot of pictures, because the room is pretty oddly shaped. But you get a good idea. I'm still toying with where to put all the furniture, but I guess I'll get it figured out when everything gets here....








Doug and our friend, Joe, have gotten a good start on the floors downstairs. We're putting in hardwood in the hallway, and (hopefully) the dining room, too. I can't wait. Here's what we're living with until they're done....

We're not replacing the stairs; we're going to stain them to match. (Notice the tubs of stuff behind the ShopVac - that's ALL baby stuff from my fabulous sisters-in-law!!!)


We are lucky enough to have wonderful friends and family who want to welcome Sprout. To that end, we're having three (3!) baby showers. Sprout is loved already! She's moving around a lot these days. Doug is feeling it more and more often, but lots of times she plays tricks on her daddy and stops moving whenever he tries to feel it.


And for those of you who care to take a peek, I took more belly shots this week (also in my dreary office, just in a different dreary spot). Exactly 20 days after the last ones...quite a change!! I'm dreading getting on the scale at my doctor appointment this Thursday..... I've had more than one person ask me if I'm sure there's only one in there....



Hope you all are well. I'll try to update after my visit on Thursday.
