Today marks 30 weeks, which means I'm 3/4's of the way done with this pregnancy journey!  This is my last week in month 7 as well and I'm finally starting to feel a little pressure to get things going in her nursery.

 

Her quilt came in last week and a couple of pictures I ordered came in yesterday.  I had every intention of posting pictures of the decor as we get them in, but perhaps I'll just do one big post once we get the room completely done.  We've also decided on a name and I even ordered letters for above her crib this morning.  They'll probably take a couple weeks to come in, then I plan to paint them.  Graham and I are taking Friday off to with our long Memorial Day weekend and I'm hoping to at least get the accent wall in her room painted so I can get stuff hung up as it comes in.  I also sold Graham's beloved futon last week.  Watching him haul it outside made me a little sad... he loved that thing, but it was time for it to go!

 

I haven't felt like cooking much lately, so Graham has helped out a bunch with grilling most nights of the week.  I cook probably twice a week now, but I still keep busy mowing the yard and chasing water sprinklers in the front and back.  Next year we are definitely getting a sprinkler system put in.  I swear I spend most of my time after work making sure the little tractor isn't running down the street!

 

Same ol', same ol' in the annoying symptoms department.  I wake up 4-6 times a night to go pee, but luckily I very seldom have a hard time getting back to sleep.  My feet haven't been swelling as bad, but I've been drinking more water too - hence the numerous bathroom trips!  We've had the nasty habit of sitting on the couch (instead of at the table) while we eat dinner, and having this little girl wedged up into my ribs is making it impossible to continue to eat there.  It'll be good for us to get used to eating at the table again when she comes anyways. 

 

It's getting hella hot outside and it's hard for me to stay outside like I normally would want to.  This little girl makes it hard enough to breathe right nowadays, much less fighting the heat - it just zaps me!

 

Continue to keep us in your prayers.  We're getting closer!
