Easton's Nursery




We still have 8 weeks left but we are about as ready as we can be for baby Easton to arrive. It sounds wierd to be calling him by name but that is the name we are set on. Lets just hope that he comes out looking like and Easton. Otherwise we are in trouble!!!
The room came together just how I wanted. Larry was so patient with me doing his favorite job in the world....painting. Instead of putting permanent chair rail around the middle Karol (artistic genius who did the designs and threw my shower for me) suggested we use ribbon. The blue around the middle is actually grosgrain ribbon! Just a few more touches.

His name will be in wooden letters above the crib. Leave it to me that he has an entire closet full of clothes already but not to worry I don't think I paid full price for anything! Thank god for Ross, TJ Maxx and Marshalls. I think they know me by name now (Larry won't think that's funny)

he.....he....who...........


We finished week 2 of childbirth class. It brought me back to any movie I have ever seen with a woman in labor. I had a hard time keeping a straight face while practicing the relaxing breathing. The massage is nice though. Went to the doctor today and spent about 5 minutes in the office. Listened to the heartbeat, measured the belly, everything on the chart was normal (except according to me the weight gain.....Yikes) and I was out. Everything checked out good!

10 Weeks and Counting!

We are getting down to the wire. My how time flies! We went to the doctor the other day and everything checked out well. The yummy glucose test I took a few weeks back came out negative for diabetes and anemia. I won't tell you how much weight I gained in the past month....lets just say it was a shocker to me but the doctor said it was normal. Thanks to everyone that says "Oh, you are all stomach"! We had a very relaxed weekend watching the Olympics and hanging in the pool. Larry took a long bike ride on Sunday morning while I slept. I've made it 7 and a half months without being sick and for some reason my stomach is getting sensative.......I fear it may be the start of heartburn! Until next time..........

An Alien in My Stomach

I swear it looks like there is an alien in my stomach! The baby has been super active the past few days and being able to see him move from the outside is a strange feeling! Yesterday right after lunch we could see him rolling around and then he started to kick. He stuck his foot on the right side and I could feel it pressing on my stomach! I pushed back and he moved it but then kicked it again. It's sort of a little game. I had my glucose testing done on Friday. We will be starting our childbirth classes on Wednesday this week then go to see the doctor on Thursday for our monthly checkup. Only about 12 weeks to go........... Karol came over on Thursday and we finished paining the baby's room. Just a few more details and it will be ready to go. I'll post a picture soon!
