Christmas is over! Happy New Year!

Well, Christmas is over and was pretty uneventful this year. I ate a lot of food and Christmas cookies so hopefully I haven't gained too much weight for the my doctor's appt next week. I can't believe that next year we will have a 10 month old crawling or walking around.

I've posted a picture of the cousin's on Christmas Eve. Kind of creepy, huh? I think they're just excited about the baby. I've also posted my 33 week pic by the X Mas tree. The tree will be coming down this weekend so I thought I'd get one more picture with the tree in it.

The nursery is making progress. Jamisen assembled the dresser but had a little trouble with the crib. He had to take it apart again and start over. He's working on it right now (and swearing) so I figured I'd stay out of his way because I'm not really much help. I'm hoping to paint the tree mural on the wall this week and also get a closet organizer installed. I'm still on vacation so I should do something productive.

I'm getting excited for the baby to be here, plus I'm just getting really uncomfortable. I can't wear my wedding ring anymore because my fingers are swollen. Even my fake larger wedding band doesn't fit.

Almost Christmas....

Jamisen and I went to an "ugly sweater" Christmas party on Saturday. It was a lot of fun and there were some hideous sweaters there. As usual, I was the DD so Jamisen got to drink with his friends. I think his friend Clint should have won---check out his Avon sweater in the pic. He didn't win.

We're both home on vacation now so my goal is to get the nursery done. All of the furniture is currently in our garage, in boxes. Hopefully we can get it assembled and ready in the next couple weeks.

I went to the doctor on Monday and the baby is measuring right on track for 32 weeks. The heartbeat is strong and the head is down. Now I'll be going every 2 weeks to the doctor. The end is getting closer!

Time to post

As promised, I wore a nicer outfit in my picture for my 31 week pic. Immediately following this picture I put on my pajamas. It's just sooooo cold out lately and it gets dark so early. I still haven't sent our Christmas cards but I haven't gotten many yet either so I guess everyone is behind this year.

As you can see, I'm progressively getting bigger. Every week I can't imagine growing any more but I've still got 8.5 weeks to go.

Bathroom almost done!

Wow, after 7.5 weeks the bathroom is almost done. Everything is functional as of today and I really love everything. There are just a few more items that need to be done --putting the doors on the cabinets, adding the drawer pulls, towel bars, toilet paper holder, and robe hooks. I've attached some pics even though it's not completely finished.

Almost Christmas....

Wow, I can't believe it's almost Christmas. My pictures are starting to look less flattering, I'm going to have to take a picture when I'm actually dressed better instead of after I put on pajamas after work. The baby is still growing as you can tell by my belly. I was measured at the doctor last week and I'm exactly average--29.5 cm at 29.5 weeks. I will now be starting my appointments every 2 weeks although my doctor cut my a break and is letting me go almost 3 weeks until the next one. My next appointment is right before Christmas and I'll be 32 weeks by then. I have to start going every week at 36 w.

I'm anxious for the baby to be here but I'm also nervous about the labor and delivery. Jamisen and I have gone to 2 of our 4 birthing classes and the videos are pretty scary. I'm sure it will all be worth it when the baby is here and we can't wait to see if it's a boy or girl. I'm guessing girl but Jamisen is betting on a boy. Well, I guess one of us will be right....

Will the bathroom ever be finished?

I think the answer is no. We're going on 7 weeks of bathroom construction with no predictable end in sight. I really want to take a hot relaxing bath but my bathtub is not yet hooked up to plumbing and the tile is not sealed. Oh, and there isn't a toilet. Since I pee about 4 times a night I'm really looking forward to not having to walk to the other bathroom.

I really hope the bathroom is done before Christmas....

Whoa!

I'm posting because many people have told me they read the blog and like to see pictures. I'm getting pretty big and I still have 10.5 weeks to go. I'm starting to be uncomfortable and have trouble sleeping.

Jamisen and I attended our first birthing class this week. Hopefully it will help prepare us for when the baby comes. I've also posted a picture of the nursery walls. So far the nursery is painted and I've framed some photographs I've taken. We're planning on doing furniture assembly over the Christmas holiday.

I'll try to post more soon!
