106 days remaining!!! Can't hardly wait!!

Here is the latest photo of the baby belly! I must be getting bigger cause people at work who didn't know are asking what happened to me!



This weekend Kelly and I picked up the nursery dresser! It looks cute in the room. Last night I made a runner for the top of it out of my bedding fabric. I think it is a good alternative to stripping and staining the top to get the dark coloring. I will take a photo and post it later! On my list for this weekend is refinishing the changing table, steaming the curtains, cutting out patterns and material for the bedding, and cleaning and organizing the closet! Just a few things I'd like to get completed; we'll see how far I get! Kelly's going to work on installing a closet light for me! I can't wait to have it. Not sure why we didn't put one in when we built the house! Oh the things forgotten when building!! I hope everyone has a great rest of the week! Enjoy the sunshine. We are certainly enjoying it here!!!

Work this week...

Well this week Kelly and I worked on getting the vinyl cut for my argyle wall border vision! The cutting went super smoothly! It only took about 20 minutes to get all the diamonds cut out. Thinking wow this is really easy I began the process of attaching the diamonds to the transfer paper (used to put them on the wall). Ha was a wrong. It is taking a while to get all the diamonds prepare for wall installation. It takes about 5-10 minutes per item at least. So I got 9 done last night and after Nana and Papa Bear dropped off the laser level we installed all 9! They look great! I'm so excited about it. I love doing things a little different and special! I will take pictures after we finish tonight to post on here. So check back to see the progress!
Kelly and I also went to our 23rd week dr appointment yesterday. It's actually our 24th week but since they changed my due date to August 6 from July 30 it put us a week behind! They game me the wonderful Glucola (meant to sound like cola but not taste as good) Apparently sometime between 24 weeks and 28weeks I am supposed to take this "cola" and have my blood drawn. I love glucose tests. Since I am hypoglycemic I have already been through one of these and they are terrible!!! At least it's only an hour, the last was 3 or 4 hours. Hopefully everything comes back good! My doctor also informed me that some of her other patients call her the "Weight Nazi"!!! I would tend to agree. She doesn't let 5lbs slip by her without telling you to start watching your eating and exercise!!! She didn't say anything to me this time and I'm hoping I do ok with weight and avoid the lecture! She is a good doctor even if she is straight forward.
Jackson has decided to start kicking all the time now. He has his favorite times but currently he must be kicking 50yard or more field goals! My insides don't appreciate it, but it makes me laugh. He is definitely Kelly's son!!!
Well I'll have more of an update for you later as well as a 23rd week picture of my larger belly!
