It's not as painful as it looks :) ... just heavy. My body feels so heavy! Just 5 1/2 weeks to go. I've gained almost 24# which is more than I gained with Will for the whole pregnancy.
Over the weekend, Craig & I did a tour of the hospital maternity floor with Casey and Wes. Most of labor day and my stay in the hospital with Will is a haze in my memory now and I just remember we couldn't figure out where to check in when we arrived in labor. So I wanted to go again just to get a mental image of what lies ahead and feel a little more confident. I'm really glad we did. We walked past the nursery and saw some brand new babies all swaddled in their bassinets and it just makes me so excited to meet our daughter. But being there also reinforces in mind that I want to labor at home as long as possible to avoid being put through "the system" of standard hospital labor & delivery. (More on that another time.)
Also this weekend, my nesting project was to thoroughly clean my refrigerator. I'm VERY particular about keeping an organized fridge - it is my pet peeve to see a sloppy fridge where things get "lost" and forgotten and there's no place to set anything. My fridge is only "overflowing" if I'm planning a party. Otherwise, everything has its place. But every so often I like to wash the shelves and drawers and wipe out the inside. So I got that done and reorganized too.
Craig & I also got out on Saturday night for a "date night" just the two of us, which was really nice. We went out to dinner and a movie. We're trying to squeeze in a couple more dates before Sophia's born, because I'm sure it will be a bit more difficult then.
I realized (a little late now) that I never posted pictures of our finished bathroom. Craig tiled around the tub and we added some storage and accessory pieces. Craig said it was "too much purple" and that it "looked like Easter threw up in there" so I added a distressed black shelf stand and some gray towels to mute the purple a bit and make it look more "masculine".
Also, here are the new Roman blinds I ordered for Will's room to darken it for sleeping.
And here's a few new pictures of our little buddy.
For the last few weeks, he's been eating with us at the table like a big boy! He's doing really well.
Craig took this one just before Will & I went out for a walk.
He has a new love for "bubble" baths.
And I'm so sad to confess that Will took ANOTHER tumble down some stairs on Sunday. I don't think he fell very far this time, but he got a nasty war wound to show for it and it just makes us feel awful. We're really working with him at getting more efficient at stair climbing and NOT trying to carry toys with him. But sometimes he gets sneaky on his own and this is his 2nd tumble now. :(
This Saturday is Casey's baby shower so we're focused on that right now and hoping for good weather!
