Nursery is ready but are we?

The much anticipated nursery photos are here. We got it all set up this week and other than having to wash a lot of really tiny clothes I think it is all ready to go! Can't you just tell by the look on Eric's face...


From Sandy and Lauren we got these really cute wall decals of the animals in the theme to go with all the bedding from Grammie. Now if I wasn't so honest I would tell people "Didn't you know that I was such a great painter? As long as you pick a mural from a Babies R Us Nursery theme and leave your house for 2 hours I will go to work for you. Give you a friend rate while I am at it.... "

We are looking forward to having our first house guests this weekend. Lucky for them we have furniture now. Still no kitchen so I will not be showing off my culinary skills, but I think we will survive.

Also on a side note, We were at Lamaze last night and the instructor informed us that we are having a really large boy. I looked at her in my puzzled yet slightly annoyed look, and said thanks a lot. If you been reading you will remember the phase where I was having total strangers tell me that I was having a big boy and I took it as " You are huge!!! What are you eating?" She went on to say "20 years as a labor and delivery nurse I know you are having a big kid trust me" Great..... Any chance I just look this way because I have a small torso?

I'm Back!

It has been a while since I have been posting and for that I apologize to all my loyal readers. 

We have been very busy getting ready for  Davis to arrive.  Now that I am a  commuter, (I would say bridge and tunnel as New Yorker's like to call it, but since I take the boat and use neither of those and refused to call myself that) it has been difficult finding energy to do this when I get home.  

To keep you updated on the development of Davis, he is moving a ton constantly 

stretching into my ribs and punching my bladder all at the same time.  Today I think I got a kidney punch!  It hurt like crazy.  I am pretty sure he was just hungry because the minute I had my mid afternoon sugar break he stopped.  According to the websites he is 18 inches long and weighs 4.5 pounds.  Also making me look like I s

wallowed a beach ball more and more everyday which also makes it that much more difficult to move around.  These last weeks are going to be just wonderful!

In other news we have the nursery furniture together and going to hang the themed decorations this weekend.  They have starting painting the house and the colors look great very calm and soothing which is what I need right now since the house has seemed like a diaster zone since we moved in with all the constructions and what not going on.  Living out of two rooms 

has not been easy.  We also got Davis' tree planted and are doing everything we can to keep it alive and get it to take to its new grounds during this heat wave.  Mid next week we should have a lot more of the house done and will be sending an email around with some before and after photos for you all to enjoy.  

*Remember even with my sledge hammer like swollen feet we love to have visitors so feel free to come by anytime!

Fish in a Fish Bowl

Sorry for the lack of updates but with the recent move it has been difficult to find spare time. I will be posting updated photos of the hows and how the reno is going shortly as well. As for mom and baby we are doing all right. Getting a bit uncomfortable at night but I can deal. What is the strangest part is the new types of movements I am feeling. Maybe it is the new commute on a boat but it really feels like a fish swimming around in my stomach. no real strong kicks or punches more of somersaults and pushes against the ribs. yesterday he must have been doing back flips because I could feel him slide down all my ribs thru the underside of my belly! It scared the heck out of me let me tell you. I was not a big fan of that feeling at all. It is all pretty cool though!

Those Clothes Are So Tiny!

This past weekend was my baby shower with Eric's family.  It was very nicely, some good food and Cake and lots of tiny clothes! We had  a bit of a s.n.a.f.u. getting up there which in case you haven't heard about involved being re-ended  and a 4 hour trip to the hospital.  Thankfully mom and baby are fine and it was just a precautionary trip, though I can't say the same thing for our new car.  We are going to be needing a new bumper already jeez.  Here is a tip you may or may not have learned in driving school (obviously the man that hit us skipped this part) don't bend down looking for a tissue while in stop and go traffic on I-95 because you will hit the car in front of you especially if you are moving and they are stopped.  We made it up there Friday night in plenty of time for the shower on Saturday were I am pleased to say I knew what all the gifts were for even if someone is going to have to show me how to use them.  Thanks to everyone that came and for all the wonderful gifts and books!  Davis is going to have a great library.
