Nursery...Check!



Well the Nursery is FINALLY done! After all last weekend and then off and on through the week the nursery is finally painted and the shelves are hung. There is still a lot of little touches Kate is going to make, but the BIG stuff is all done! (Painting, Trimming, setting up shelves, curtain's, etc...)


The time is getting closer and closer. We are at 59 days and counting now... only 4 more weeks before she is full term. And 8 more weeks till we are 40 weeks :) Time is flying, and soon our little girl will be here :) It's hard to believe its almost been 9 months. It seems like just yesterday Kate was waking me up to tell me we were pregnant and going to have a baby. It's been hard at times, ESPECIALLY for poor Kate. She is a real trooper. I know she hurts and is uncomfortable, but she just push's through. Her excitement always shines through. 


We are getting ready, and the countdown is on! :)

Labor and Delivery Again....

Well today we had another false labor scare... Kate started having contractions all last night, and then during church we had to leave because they got so bad. We called the Midwife and they said to relax and drink lots of water (we are sitting here thinking duh...) so Kate just relaxed and I took care of her. They eased off but didn't stop. By 6:30pm we finally were told to go to Labor and Delivery... After an hour and the nurse getting personal with Kate they sent us home and said everything is fine and to rest. The amazing thing was that next to us a husband and wife around our age came in... She was due in two days, but was contracting and dialted 2 cm, they were getting ready to bring their little one into the world.

It made me think that our time for that moment was coming and will be here soon. Sooner than we realize. It's right around the corner and before we know it our little girl will be here. While I'm scared for Kate and that day and what she will have to go through, on the same thought I can't wait for that day. I am so excited to be in that moment knowing our little girl is on her way.

Down to Every Two Weeks

So we are at the point of visiting the Doctor every two weeks now. Time seemed to drag before, because of the distance between each Dr. Visit, but now... Every two weeks is making it feel even closer. Mom and Dad are starting to get things for the Nursery and its really coming along. Mommy’s Baby Shower is next Sunday and she is so excited. She can’t wait to see all her friends and celebrate me with them! I am 29 weeks and 3 days today. In less than 90 Days I will be here! :)
