Tick Tock

I have just realized that time is not slowing down, it's speeding up. We have the nursery done and have started our childbirth classes (only 3 weeks left). *Tick* The salon is coming along nicely and might be done in May sometime. *Tock* Our last big project on our list is selling my house, my brother-in-law will be moved on by May 1st. We have some DEEP cleaning and some minor repairs to make before we put it out there. Now it is deciding between taking an easy route by getting a realitor or selling it ourselves. *Tick Tock*

We had a Dr. appt yesterday and got to do the one hour glucose test. Not bad, just drank a bottle of "orange pop" which tasted pretty good. My glucose came back normal so NO gestational diabeties (yeah!) Went over just a few questions with doc and discussed my last U/S. My placenta is slowly moving up just not out of the woods yet. Next U/S is May 4th, next OB appt is May 14th. *Tick Tock*

Feeling great, a little more tired at the end of my day but hubby has been wonderful! I've also experienced my first couple contractions (braxton-hicks), it seemed odd and at first I was in denial but DH felt my belly and noticed how hard it was too! They didn't last very long, and no pain or any other symtoms with it. Just felt weird, and silly enough to make me smile a bit realizing we are coming into the third trimester! *Tick Tock Tick Tock*

Nursery Pics!

My mom came and helped all weekend with getting this task accomplished and now I love just going in there and wondering how it going to be when our little boy is finally here!!

We had to remove two borders (one that had been painted over, the other on top of that), then sand the edges between paint and where borders were, clean walls, paint walls, touch up and finally freshened up the trim to a lighter beige.

What a relief to have that done. Still have to get the dresser cleaned up, was going to paint it but instead I will just add new handles and knobs. Will add more pics with those updates.










Belly pics to come next time.

Lots of updates . . .

A thoughtful and "loved" gift from Gramy Steph.

He loves it and says "rank ru"



We celebrated our 1st Wedding Anniversary on March 29th! Hubby and I agreed that with my birthday in March, his in April, putting in the salon, and getting ready for baby that we wouldn't do gifts for our anniversary. Well my hubby is sweet, so very smart and obviously knows just enough about women (me-especially) that he had to made some sort of romantic gesture . . .

I'll keep him!!



Had another u/s on Weds and still so exciting to see our little man (yes, reconfirmed 'It's a BOY'). My placents still is touching my cervix and we will know on the 14th weather it has made any progress or not.

Here are the lastest of our greatest!!



Working on the nursery and will have pics soon, I promise!! Went with a jungle theme and painting the walls Celery Sprig green, very light and bright. So far I really like it and will take the pics when we are done with the trim today!!
