We are accumulating more & more stuff... lots of clothes from this baby's first cousins, Eden and Peyton (who are also summer babies) and tons of clothes, blankets, etc. from the baby's second cousins (once removed) Charlotte & Isabelle... plus all of the awesome gifts from the shower at my parents'. Now that Shaun's done with school (finally!) we are starting to get things moved out of the spare room and officially turn it into the baby's room. For paint, we picked a very pale blue. Here's a picture of Shaun hard at work with the paint job last night:
There of course is much work to be done, but with less than 8 weeks till the due date we no longer feel like we have all the time in the world to get ready.
This weekend, I had my first two random women stop me (one at Home Depot, one at Whole Foods) to ask me when I'm due. When I replied "late July" the response from both was "Wow, you look like you're ready to pop!" "I thought you'd say next week, not 2 months from now!" Way to make me feel good, huh?
Baby is squirming around as always. I am still subjected to the random Hillary Clinton cankle (always on my right side - as per Dr. Harrison, it's because my uterus is tilted to the right, plus the baby likes to hang out on the right side anyway, hence compressed vena cava). Last week at my appointment I got to tour the Labor & Delivery facilities at Boston Medical Center which was helpful because I just wanted to have an idea in my head of what it would all look like.
Otherwise, we're just trucking along- hoping to get some furniture moved around this week so we're better prepared for baby arrival. This all seemed so far off when I took that pregnancy test back in November. Suddenly, it's June and we're having a baby next month!
