Making Progress

Our OB appointment (33 weeks) went really well. My bp was 110/57 and baby's heartbeat was about 144. Doctor says I'm measuring right on track (fundal height was 34cm), so I guess that's good too.

I'm making so much progress around the house. Mom asked the other day if I was nesting. I responded, "I'm trying to get shit done. If you call that nesting, there ya go!" We've run into some issues with the electrical in our house-- it's a brand new house, so it's not the wiring in the house that's been problematic. We're trying to replace some of the standard fixtures that were in the house package, but running into problems there. Our builder came out and got me hooked up with an electrician, and that makes me SO much calmer.

Mark and I spent the last few days ironing curtains (my job) and hanging curtain rods (his job). He, of course, doesn't understand the need for curtains, but they make me feel so much homier. The nursery is coming along too. We just need to clean it up, address the lighting issue and then assemble furniture and load it up. Our formal dining room is baby central these days-- I'm looking forward to that stuff having a better home.

We got the bed set up in the guest room, and I'm going to make the bed Friday. My bestest friend is coming over Friday night to help me hang photos and decorate and such. She might also get cornered into helping us assemble the crib. (As you may know, my husband works for AT&T, so he's working a 14 hour day Friday due to the release of the new iPhone.)

The new arm chairs for the living room come in Saturday and the recliner/rocker for the nursery will be here next week. It's amazing how quickly things can come together when you have the time (even though not the energy) to focus on the projects. We've lived here since January, and we're still unpacking boxes-- wild!

Alright, I'm off to bed. Mom and I are going shopping in the morning for items needed for the hospital and my niece and nephew are coming over in the afternoon to swim. We moved the pack-n-play (bassinet) into our bedroom tonight. Let's pray I don't injure myself in the middle of the night by running into it.
