Ready.... well at least the room is!

Well, decorating the nursery was success! We got it done all in one weekend and it is exactly what I had in mind. I am very excited that we got it done. I've been able to get things that I already had put up in the nursery and now all we need is a baby! And of course a few other things like diapers and stuff :-)
The nursery walls are green and one wall has brown polka dots. We got our nursery furniture off of Craigslist back in January and it looks absolutely wonderful in the room. Josh did a great job not killing me as I had lots of little projects for him to work on in there. He put up new blinds and a new ceiling fan in addition to re-routing cable to the next room so Austin and Kaleb could still have their TV to watch. The nursery bedding is the Jungle Babies theme by NoJo and we have lots of it in there! The glider/ottoman is the same finish as the furniture and has light yellow cushions. It's perfect! Sometimes I just go sit in there now and rock.
The baby and I are doing great. Last appointment everything looked fine. I was measuring just a little bigger than I should have been. His heartrate looked good and so did my weight (5.5 pounds total gain) and my blood pressure. We have the c-section scheduled for Monday, June 21st at 11:30am at Women's Hospital. I'm very excited, and to be honest, I hope we are there before then! Next appointment is next Thursday.
Next Friday I will go down to my mom and grandma's for a shower on the Saturday before mother's day. Then the next weekend we are having a shower here at our house. After that, he can come any time!

30 weeks!!

Well, we have made it to 30 weeks! It seems like this is taking forever :-) Peanut is is a mover and a fighter. I think he is training for some kind of kickboxing competition. Last check at the doctor said he was good. I was measuring about 31 weeks which was 2 weeks bigger than I should be. But the doctor says nothing to worry about. We both looked great, other than the fact that I was SUPER stressed out! So far, I have only gained about 4.5 pounds! This is very hard for me to believe, considering I feel like the size of a house! I think this going to be a big baby. It's been a rough few weeks. My doctor filled out the paperwork and I am officially on medical leave for the rest of the year. It's been a big relief. I can stay at home and rest and take care of both of us and get ready for his arrival! We will have baby showers in a couple of weeks and I hope we get everything that we don't already have. We already have most of our big stuff and will be decorating the nursery this weekend. I will post pictures when we are done. I can't wait! Next appointment is on Friday and I am hoping we will schedule the c-section. I will try and update on Friday after the appointment. We should have about 8-9 weeks to go!!!
