Here is his crib and Snoopy poster.
Here is his room - all painted!
And here I am, 28 weeks pregnant!
Mike and I have been working like busy bees around the house. I am happy to say we've actually made some real progress! The baby's room is painted and his crib is up. It's so strange to walk past the room and see all of the baby things. It's hard to believe there will be a little baby to enjoy them before we know it. We are now working on decorating his room and we've made some real progress there too. I painted the name letters and Mike and I made some little Snoopy figures out of clay. We are both very proud of the outcome! Tonight some more of the decor came in the mail and I can't wait to put it up!
After lots and lots of research and debate we finally settled on carseat and stroller. That is a big relief!! Of course we've already tested it out. The good news is that the carseat actually fits in the Civic (I was shocked!).
Thanks to a lot of help from our good friend, Becky, we are completing a bathroom remodel this weekend. I am very excited for the finished project. We will have a whole new linen closet/pantry when it's done! The closer we get to having the baby the more I realize these little people take up a lot of space! I will post some pictures once we have it done.
I think most of you know but we settled on a name. We actually picked it out before the anatomy ultrasound. His name will be Brendan Michael! We both love it!
I am officially in my 3rd trimester. I can't believe this is the last stretch. I have felt this way all along but the pregnancy continues to feel as if it's flying by and dragging on. I am so excited to meet our little guy but we have so much to do before he's here. I suppose that contributes to the mixed feelings in that aspect. I find it really hard to imagine how it will be to have a baby in the house. I am both excited and anxious for what's to come. I also worry about our "fur babies" and how they'll take it. I hope that everyone can peacefully coexist. I also hope the baby is used to all the noise they make! Overall, I feel good! I am very tired but I am growing a baby. I guess it's to be expected. I had a little scare about a week ago. I failed my glucose screening. I had to take a 3 hour test (which was horrible!) to see if I have gestational diabetes. Mike went with me to the long test which made it much better (he's been so amazing). Thankfully, I do not have gestational diabetes. That was a big relief! While it's a manageable condition it was overwhelming and scary to think about. I am very, very thankful that I don't have to deal with that! The baby is quite active throughout the day. I love feeling him move. It really is one of the best parts of being pregnant. He's getting big enough now that I can feel him roll and push against me. While I couldn't tell you what body part it is, it is really cool to feel his little body! He likes to kick at the doppler when we listen to his heartbeat at prenatal checkups. He also likes to kick at Mike's arm when we're in bed. I feel he is going to have a strong personality!! I can't wait to meet him!
