School is done. I feel like I have so much more free time now. Beautiful.
Chris is done with his big extra project (or at least the hard part... they still have to present about it, and depending on how that goes they may have more meetings, but during business hours!!!)
I go to my OB every other week now. And I love her. Still.
I don't have Gestational Diabetes.
We've at least ordered all the big furniture for Baby Girl's room now. My rocking chair got delivered today, and tomorrow the crib will be delivered! Then the big stuff is all here. Well, unless you count a crib mattress as "big" because we definitely haven't picked one of those out yet.
I'm having two baby showers in April, one that a friend in my ward (did you notice I didn't call it my new ward??? that's like a first!) is hosting and one that my friends from my old ward are hosting. I'm super excited for both. They're going to be totally different showers which is kind of really exciting. I love my friends!
I'm trying not to let myself buy anything for Baby Girl until after the first shower. I don't want to purchase a bunch of diapers today if I'm going to end up receiving some then. My second shower is a book shower, so I just have to stop myself from buying books (which is a lot harder than it sounds).
Chris is taking Friday off. He needs a day off to help him rest, relax, and hopefully get his health back under control. He also decided that we needed an extra day to just spend time together, so a long weekend it is! I'll be 31 weeks tomorrow, which means Baby Girl is due in 9, but could come sooner/later. I'm hoping that we spend at least part of Friday assembling either the crib or the rocking chair/footstool. I also hope that as we go out and run a few small errands (Chris wants to go look at Sam's Club to see what types of Contact Lens Solution they sell... and since I don't wear contacts I'm not choosing this for him) I can convince Chris that we should pick out a "coming home" outfit for Baby Girl! I love the clothes we've received for her so far, but I decided I want us to pick her coming home outfit!
I've been checking out pinterest, trying to decide some cute way to either display her name or at least the first letter of it somewhere in her nursery. I was originally going to do something that could go on the wall above the crib, but a friend is designing some super cute canvases to hang above the crib, so now I'm thinking I'll do something that can stand up on the cube organizers. I'm thinking that something like this could be cute (this is not her name, nor will I tell you her name on my blog you creepers), or maybe something like this except that I have only ever seen uppercase cardboard letters, and I'm not sure I want to wrap multiple letters in yarn.... or if they would stand up very well. Something kind of like this is on my mind as well. Find cute buttons and a cute frame, or even just some cheap frame and spray paint it a fun color? The wheels are turning. I browse at Hobby Lobby quite often. Yesterday I was near a Jo-Ann's and I went and browsed in there too. I'll figure something out eventually.
And that's what is on my mind right now. That and that I sure as heck hope I get a decent amount of sleep tonight. I keep waking up in the night with really bad heartburn even though I've been paying attention to what I'm eating and making sure to take heartburn meds every day regardless of what I'm eating. I go to the OB tomorrow, I'll definitely be talking to her about this then.
I'm pretty sure that getting a king sized bed would help me sleep better. Chris is a bed hog, and with my ever growing belly I need more space than I'm getting! After he leaves for work in the morning I end up sleeping a lot better, I think because I can spread out a little. If only a king size bed would fit in our room... maybe when we buy a house :)
A lady at church on Sunday approached me and said "I heard your pregnant! Congrats" I laughed and thanked her, after which she said "you're what, like 20 weeks now?" She just about choked on her water when I told her I was 30 1/2 weeks. Don't know where she's been the last few months, but apparently she didn't hear the news when everyone else here did! Kinda makes me laugh, and feel good because that means that I'm not super huge... but at the same time, I'm already 31 weeks! Start noticing!
The Biggest Loser finale is next week. Chris and I are excited. We placed our votes after watching this weeks episode! I can't wait to see how everyone looks at finale! I'm also excited to see who wins. It's too close to call at this point (in my opinion at least!).

I'm so excited for you! I can't wait to see pictures when you have the crib up and everything. :-D
Sounds like your weekend will be nice. I hope Chris gets better and that your heartburn goes away. I have no thoughts on your decorating problem because I am no good at it. But you will figure something out that will be adorable. I love you!
Wow! That seemed to go by so fast. So glad you didn't have diabetes.

Of the three name/letter options, I choose the BUTTONS! Want me to scour the place and see if I can find buttons for you? Or the next time I head to Burlington or Quincy I can actually go to a store (well, my WalMart might have a few buttons, but not a true fabric store selection). I am getting excited to come and see you!!!
Congrats on finishing school Marci!
So, I like the button craft the best of the three (though they're all cute). Have you thought of getting some wooden letters and spray painting them (maybe need to let Chris do the painting though, not so sure inhaling spray-paint is advisable during pregnancy)?
Joe and I LOVE our king-sized bed. Definitely worth it; having the extra space is such a luxury.
Thinking about you lots!
