The Nursery is Done! (almost)

We've been working on the house non-stop the past month and have a lot to show for it. Not only is the kitchen completely redone, we've also semi-finished the basement, added a pantry and ripped out trees from our front yard that we've been meaning to do for years. On top of doing all that, we've nearly finished the nursery. The only thing left to do is put her crib together and finish decorating which we should be able to do today :)

Here are some pics of the room - when it was our guest room it was pretty plain and painted a lilac color. Mike was able to paint the ceiling, install a new ceiling fan and paint the walls (antiguan sky and lambskin if you're wondering). :) He also painted both of her doors, put new hardware on them and put up a chair rail. He's quite the handyman!

What do you think?

Getting bigger...

I'm definitely getting a lot bigger! I'll have to post a belly pic soon.

I'm 27 weeks now and I'm getting kicked constantly. She sure does like to move! She also has a very strong love of orange juice (I drink a carton every 5 days or so and crave it ALL the time). According to the averages - she's 2lbs. and about 15 inches long, has hair (including eyelashes) and can open and close her eyes. She can also hear everything a lot better, but I'm pretty sure she's been able to hear Mike and I for several weeks now (apparently we're sort of a 'loud' couple) :)

Everything has been going fairly well - A few bumps but nothing major.

My next dr. appointment is on the 14th where I'll have to do the dreaded glucose test. I'll need to drink some gross liquid and then they will test me for gestational diabetes. If all goes well, I won't have to do the more intensive testing (fingers crossed).

We're hoping to use April to get her room done. The bedding and bedroom set is teal/aqua blue and chocolate brown and I LOVE it! It was hard to find blue and brown nursery items that were still girly but I finally found what I wanted. Her crib was delivered last week too so we're almost ready to start. We have to pick out some paint colors first though...

13 weeks to go!!

Luciana has the Best Daddy Ever (and I have the Best Husband)!
