Weeks 28, 29, 30, & 31

Let's see what we have been up to the past few weeks!

28 Weeks:

It was really nice this week; Jeff was on vacation and we were able to get started on the nursery! We moved all of my craft room stuff into what used to be the spare bedroom, and decided the bigger bedroom would be better for the baby to have. We went to Lowe's and chose our paint color. I knew I wanted White and Grey on the walls, so we decided to do the bottom half of the wall in grey, and the top half in white, with a white chair rail in between. Once we got all the supplies, I went and taped all of the base boards and door jams with the painters tape. The next day, Jeff got started painting the white portion. I helped paint the edges (yes, the windows were open and the fan was on!). Once that was dry, we taped off were we wanted the chair rail to go (pain in the BUTT because we didn't have a level, but it turned out perfect). Then Jeff painted the grey. It made such a difference! We love the colors!!

I did a lot of sewing this week and made a set of burp cloths for a customer in North Carolina! I also made my very first diaper cover/bloomer with an "h" for Hudson! :) I was proud. It didn't come out perfect, but it is still very cute!

Jeff was so excited to set up the crib, even though the chair rail wasn't up yet, so he went ahead and put it all together. It is BEAUTIFUL and looks PERFECT with the colors we chose.

Updates on the baby- he is definitely growing and doing great at his NSTs and AFIs! We are so blessed!



29 Weeks:

This week Jeff was also off on vacation, which was sooo nice. We got a new slab of cement poured in the back yard and we went and picked up a bunch of flowers to plant. We also went to the nursery and picked out a Japanese Maple to plant in memory of Hayden <3 It looks amazing. I can't wait to watch it grow each year.

My Aunt Trish came out from New Mexico this week for a visit and it was so great to see her! She left before the shower, but I got to go to coffee and dinner with her, moms, and Nana, and that was really fun! It was so nice to be able to visit.

Jeff and I went to Lowe's this week and bought all of the materials for the chair rail. I was really nervous that he planed to do it all himself, but I was so shocked on how perfect it turned out!!! The dresser also came in, so the room is really starting to come together. I know putting all of this together has made him more excited about the baby because he gets really excited when he talks about it :)

I bought all of the detergent to start washing my cloth diapers and baby cloths I currently have this week...LOTS of laundry and the shower hasn't even happened!


30 Weeks:

Current craving-- Chicken Salad sandwiches!!!! YUM!

Baby boy is doing terrific! He has passed all of the NSTs and AFIs, even though they may take longer than they should because he moves around like an acrobat CONSTANTLY! But I love it. Feeling him move is so reassuring and I am absolutely in love with it!

This week and a little bit last week I have started getting some really bad pelvic pain when I go from standing to sitting or laying to standing or sitting....like....really bad. Hooray for the home stretch lol!

This week we had an ultrasound at Dr. Helm. Nana was able to go with us, which was really special! I was so happy, the tech was nice enough to switch to 3-D for a little bit!! He is so cute! I think he looks like me! :)

This Saturday is the Baby Shower! My mom comes into town Thursday and I am soooo excited! Nana and I picked up some Duck Dynasty shirts for us to wear while we run our errands since we are all huge Duck Dynasty fans, and I bought us some Mason Jar cups and made Sweet Tea! It was really fun!

I ordered special necklaces from Origami Owl for my mom and Nana for their thank you gifts. they LOVED them.

The shower was...how do I put this....AMAZING. This little boy is so loved....it was such a special day. I can't thank everyone enough for being there.

31 Weeks:

This week I am feeling reeeealllly like I am running out of room and we still have about 6 weeks left lol.

This little boy is trying to get comfortable in there and so am I, especially at night! I am on Spring Break this week, so my project is putting the billions of gifts away, finishing his laundry, and packing our bags for the hospital! I can't believe how quickly this pregnancy is going!!

I have an NST and AFI today, so we will see how our little one is doing :)

Last night I washed and put together the carseat cover :) And I attempted to start organizing the loot lol...

Overall, I have just been tired for the most part, but other than that and the pelvic pain, I am doing really good :)

My last day of work is April 17th, so that will be really nice to just be able to focus on getting the baby here!

Until Next Time!!
