32 weeks down...8(ish) to go

32 weeks. It must be time for a hair cut because I haven't worn my hair down in...well...I can't even remember. Getting bigger. I'm not sure where the little man will go after this week. Feels like there isn't any more room!

At my doctor's appointment this week, Dr. Bradley told me that 30% of women go on or before their due date. So, there's a pretty good chance I have more than 8 weeks to go, but that's okay. Everything is still measuring "normal". Also, in the last two weeks Brent and I have gone to a labor and delivery class offered through our hospital. It's held on Tuesday evenings, so that's been a little difficult to get motivated to go to, but overall it's been good for us. 


I told you that I would post something that I had made. I still haven't sewn, but as you can see I have my materials. Curtains are next on the to-do list. The canvas I made is from Jeremiah 29:11 and I just really like the verse and thought it was fitting to have it in the nursery. We plan to hang it over the crib once we get it (this week). Will post updates as things progress.

Material for home made goodness. :)

Speaking of homemade goodness, I made these tonight just because I wanted to. They really do taste like Reeses. The good part is that they're too rich to eat more than one, so it's built-in self-control.

Hope you all enjoy worship in your church tomorrow!

Nursery Update

Brent finished painting the baby room last week. I think it looks great. The grey is a little darker than I imagined and the blue a little brighter, but certainly not enough to make me make him paint it again. Plus, I don't think he would! Ideally I wish the trim/closet door was white, but since we are renting we're not going to tackle that task. Also this weekend, I had a beautiful shower put on by my sister-in-law and best friend. I feel so overwhelmed with gratitude to them and to everyone else who made it so special. Thank you just doesn't seem to cut it, but for now it will have to do. I will post pictures of the shower later, but it really reminds me how close we are coming to getting to meet our baby boy. We are both so excited. 

Beautiful Hemoglobin

Today I had a doctor's appointment and it went really well. The doctor went over my lab work from my previous visit. He said that my glucose results were really good and that my hemoglobin was beautiful. That's right...beautiful. To this ever-getting-bigger-pregnant-hippo-mamma those words were welcomed with open arms. Not literally...I did not hug my doctor...but I'm pretty sure I smiled real big. Pathetic...yes.
