Check, check and check

I feel like we've made great progress on our "To Do" list. We've picked a day care, set up the nursery, made all of our "big" purchases (that I know of) and are almost done with our birthing classes. We still have a newborn care class to take, need to install the carseat, meet with our peditrician and a couple of miscellaneous things, but I have to say that I actually feel prepared. I didn't think I'd feel this calm with six weeks to go, but I'm just so excited to meet this little girl.
Here are some pictures of the nursery...the glider has already become one of my favorite places!

2 months to go!

Here I am at 31.5 weeks...by the looks of me, we're having a very, very healthy baby!




After a week on bedrest, I was back at the doctor on Monday for a check up. The baby sounded great! They did tell me that I am still having contractions - these were about 2 minutes apart. But I'm still not dialated, so the doctor approved me to go back to work full time, as long as I pay attention to anything that may change and that I take care of myself. This week has been pretty good so far, and I hope that the next 8 weeks are uneventful!

I'm looking forward to a relaxing 3-day weekend. Despite feeling better, I'm still not sleeping well, so I hope to catch up on some sleep and use the weekend to finish up the nursery. Pictures coming soon!
