This Friday we get to have our 4d ultrasound!!! I can’t wait. I’ve been not able to drink anything besides water for an entire week and 64 oz of it at that! Do you know how many bathroom trips that requires?!!! I will be relieved when I can actually have some juice or perhaps a caffeine free coke… This week I have been working on the crib bumpers. I spent all of Monday evening on 1 of the small bumpers. I really thought I’d be more efficient but apparently I wasn’t gifted with the speed of Martha Stewart. Nevertheless the one I have completed looks good! We also steamed the thermal curtain panels and pinned them for hemming. I have yet to sew them but I will this weekend!
Tuesday, Kelly and I headed to our first childbirth class. It lasted from 7-10pm. Which if you know Kelly and that we get up at 5am you’ll understand why the last 30 minutes were pretty tough to stay awake! So we’ve been behind for the rest of the week on sleep but we’re beginning to catch up! During the class we had to learn how to change a diaper. When it was Kelly’s turn he took off the diaper and looked at it and said quietly to me, “these are tiny”! Apparently he’d never seen a newborn diaper! I said well how do you think 92 fit in that box of diapers we bought? I said they fit up to 8 lbs (and ours will probably be around 6-7lbs. Kelly was a stellar student in class answering a question correctly that apparently no one had ever gotten right! I was pretty proud of my husband! So now that we know how to properly bath our baby, change his diaper, and the appropriate toys we should be ready for parenthood… Well at least we feel a little more prepared! It certainly made it seem more real to us.
Wednesday night after teaching the 3 year old class I once again cleaned up the nursery and the house with Kelly’s help. I still have some work to do but it looks at least presentable! Tonight is a bumper night after we have Mom and Dad over for dinner and fun family time! We’ll see if I can beat my 2.5 hour record for 1 bumper!!! And Friday it’s off to Grandma’s with Mom to work on sewing the bed skirt! I’m so excited to be getting all the pieces together for the bedding. It will be so nice to have it ready to go.

I will have pictures to update after tomorrow!! I will take some of the nursery to that I have been promising! We'll see if I can get Kelly to take one of my ever growing self to post as well! Have a great rest of the week everyone!
