Crib Finished

The crib is finally finished!

Jon and I finally got all the painting done and have put it together! The crib even has a brand new mattress thanks to my parents! It looks great in the "nursery" and it turned out really good actually.

My mom and I went shopping yesterday and bought material to make a bumper pad. It's going to be SUPER cute! I can't wait to get started on it. I'm so ready to put the bed together, but just in case baby ends up being a boy we aren't opening any sheets just yet. Plus, we don't want it to collect dust. However, when it's all said and done it will be really cute!

I'll put pictures up once we get the crib more together.

Only 9 more weeks until baby is due!!! I can't believe I am finally in single digits! Some of my nerves are starting to creep in once in a while, but over all I'm just excited to meet the little one that kicks me on a continual basis! :)

In other news.....come to think of it, there really isn't other news to report. Jon has about a month left of school before he has a few weeks off. Then Jon starts his summer courses. We finally laid out all his classes on the calendar and it looks like, while he will have a busy summer, his schedule isn't all that bad. My parents are going to have to babysit for the whole month of July and once a week in June, but it will all work out. He is looking forward to new classes.

That's about all the updates for now.

MUCH LOVE!

Plus Or Minus 10 Weeks!!

Hello!

I apologize for taking so long to update again. I can't believe how fast March has flown by! I'm not complaining tho because it puts Jon and I closer to meeting our daughter. As the title implies, we have plus or minus 10 weeks left until the big event! I'm really really excited! My fears of giving birth have sort of left and anticipation and excitement have settled in. Jon seems to be excited in his own way too.

This past month has been full of different things. Jon's mom and sister along with our nephew came to visit us. We had a blast shopping and enjoying each other's company. Jon's mom also brought us a TON of adorable baby clothes and accessories! I can't not wait to be able to use all the wonderful things!

My parents went to Israel and had a fabulous trip! They came home with some great pictures and Jon and I enjoyed the alone time even though we were busy.

The crib is coming along. It's given us more trouble then we would have liked, but it's going to turn out all right after all. We ended up painting it antique white because staining did not work out. I'll put pictures up once we get it back together.

This past weekend my best friend Sarah and her mom came for a surprise visit. We had a great time going to Ikea and hanging out. Sarah and her mom brought me adorable gifts for the baby. Sarah's mom made these absolutely adorable blankets for the baby along with matching burp clothes. Sarah bought me some adorable 3-6months outfits! I love them and can not wait for the baby to wear them!

I had my blood glucose test earlier in the month. I don't have gestational diabetes but I am anemic now which I guess is normal in your third trimester. I'm not complaining tho because that is solved by a pill instead of totally changing my diet.

I think that is all the updates for now.

Enjoy the nice weather!!

MUCH LOVE!!!

This and That

The weather in Pittsburgh has been beautiful lately! Sure it's been freezing on some of those sunny days, but the sun makes things seem so much nicer! Yesterday the temperature reached 58 I believe and it only dropped to 52 over night! It feels like Spring and yet I know we will probably get more cold weather and possibly snow before it offically becomes Spring and the nice weather is here to stay!

Luckily the weather is nice today because my brother and Kelly are packing up their apartment and moving to Georgia. My parents are headed up to Indiana to help them load the truck and get the last of the stuff packed. Jon and I are unable to go because of work and school. They were originally supposed to move this past weekend, but things got changed around due to Dave's schedule which stunk for Jon and I because we could have helped last weekend, but it works out better for Dave and Kelly this weekend, so that's all that matters.

Today I'm going to try and get my PA driver's license. I was going to do it yesterday but I spent the morning stressing out that I couldn't find my social security card, which I did eventually find, and then once I got to the DMV I realized I didn't have my check book! I decided that it wasn't meant to happen yesterday! I need to get my PA driver's license before I can transfer my title, register my car for a new plate, and get my car inspected. It's such a process and I seem to do this process every year! Jon and I have to stop moving! LOL!

My parents are leaving for an eight day trip to Israel this Sunday with a group from their church. Jon and I are very much excited for them to go on this trip. We are looking forward to having the house to ourselves, but we also know they are going to LOVE the trip and we can't wait for them to return with their pictures and stories. While they are away, Jon's mom and sister are coming to visit for a day and a half.

As Jon's spring break begins at 2:00 this afternoon, he has big plans to finish up the crib this coming week. Hopefully all goes smoothly for him and it turns out the way he was hoping. I'm glad he knows what he is doing because I'm sure lost! The crib should look great once it's finished!

Well that's about all that is occurring in this neck of the woods. I begin working Monday thru Friday this Monday, which means I only have one day off this week instead of two, but that's okay I'm looking forward to having a REAL weekend and starting an hour later. Baby and I are doing well. Well that's all!

MUCH LOVE!
