The Nursery!!

What a busy two weeks!! However, we do have something to show for it...the nursery!! After a lot of hard work painting, stenciling, carpeting, and putting together furniture, we now are closer to being ready to bring our new arrival home and have a place of his or her own! We absolutely love how it is turning out and can't wait to continue to add "finishing touches" on it over the next weeks. Here are some pictures for you!

This is what it looked like when we first moved in...

well, minus the rocking horse, since that was there as a staging tactic when we bought the house.

Gotta love the lavender walls and purple carpet....

It was definitely in need of a change before our baby arrives!
We started with yellow walls....

Then added some stars....

Then put in the new carpet and furniture and wallah!!! NURSERY!!!

Besides keeping busy with the nursery, we are now half way though grad school for the summer, and are looking forward to three weeks from now! It will be a great day when we drive away from St. Thomas on July 17th! Tutoring is going well for me and Phil is also enjoying being a roofing inspector again this summer, especially on the cool days!

I had another doctor's appointment this past Friday and everything went well as far as my health and the baby's. I measured right on for size again, so that was great. However, I did fail my glucose test, so I now get to take part in the three hour test on Wednesday morning. No food from Tuesday night on will not be fun, but it is important that we figure out if I have gestational diabetes. If so, I should be able to control it through my diet, since my numbers of the initial test were not far off. My doctor didn't seem to be worried though, as many fail the first test and don't actually have gestational diabetes. Whatever will be, will be! I now start my two week visits for the month of July and then we're on to every week for the month of Aug. Time will fly until this little one arrives!

Enjoy your long weekend over the 4th!! We will update again soon!
