Big Baby

So I was just reading this story about a woman who gave birth to a 19.2lb baby - thankfully it was through Cesarean.

The baby did not even break the world record - that still stands at a 23lber!

I meet with the dr yesterday and he said the baby is doing well and I should plan on him being in there full term. Needless to say I was not happy and wanted to kick the dr in the shin! He said just because he takes the stitches out at 37 weeks does not mean he will come right away! Not the news I was hoping for!

The baby's head is down and resting on some muscle/nerve in my leg and it hurts to walk sometimes. It is not fun.

Pictures

So here are the pictures of the rearranged living room and the nursery. (FINALLY!)

Family visiting. . .

So my sister and parents have been here for the last week. They have been laboring hard all week getting my house organized and the nursery all ready.

My sister is a great organizer and she organized my kitchen for me! Which is fabulous and looks great. I did have a hard time finding my salad spinner the other day but alas it was found. She also painted the nursery and hung some things on the walls. She got the nursery all put together and it looks so cute.

My dad and Chad got the crib set up, fixed the roof and cleaned out the rain gutters.

My mom spent the whole time sewing. She sewed the curtains, skirt for the crib, crib pads, quilt topper and a pillow for the rocker. She also order a book with all kinds of patterns for other baby stuff. Like a liner for the car seat, cover for the car seat and who knows what else she will sew.

Yesterday Chad got the chair rail for the walls in the nursery - he cut them to size and painted them. Hopefully they will get hung today and the nursery will be complete. Then I will be able to take some pictures.

It is weird walking by the nursery and seeing it all done and ready for a baby. I guess this is going to happen - ready or not! I feel like my belly has doubled in size over night. So I guess I better come to terms with it all and get ready because we are down to 9 weeks till the stitches come out.

It must be nesting. . .

Saturday was our 2yr anniversary and I spent the entire day in bed. Sounds relaxing and fun right - WRONG! Friday I got a horrible head cold and was so sick all weekend long. Not so much fun. I had planned on getting the house cleaned and organized, but instead I barely had the energy to get out of bed to go to the bathroom. Not a fun weekend.

Monday I had a dentist appt at 7am and then a dr's appt at 8am. I was still feeling pretty crappy but figured I might as well go to work and get stuff done since I was already up and around. When I got home all I wanted to do was take a nap and stop being sick. Instead all I could do was clean and get organized even though I was way past my burnt out stage.

My sister flew in yesterday from Alabama and luckily she made us a wonderful dinner. While she was in the kitchen cooking away, I should have been relaxing and trying to get over this cold. Instead I was in the bathroom scrubbing the floor and the baseboards. Then when my sister was done making dinner, I washed all the dishes, scrubbed the kitchen sink and sanitized all the kitchen counters.

After dinner I got the notion to rearrange the living room. I have wanted to do it for a while but being pregnant and not being allowed to lift anything has put a damper on that desire. So I sent Chad off to the store since he is opposed to most change and would not agree with the changes. Then I put my sister to work in moving furniture for me. As she lifted and pushed furniture around, I followed her around dusting, vacuuming and wiping down baseboards.

I love how the living room turned out I will have to take a picture to show you the change. When Chad got home (he knew why I was kicking him out) I asked him what he thought of the rearragnement and he had no comment. It will have to grow on him.

The joys of nesting. Tonight we are tackling the office again to see if we can get some sort of organization down there. I might as well take advantage of this nesting stage because I am sure it is going to be short lived.
