Best Moment This Week: Getting to hear his heartbeat again

We had our 2 week appointment on Friday. We go back in 2 weeks and then it will be every week. WOW! I can't believe we are that close to the end! The appointment went really and she said things were looking really good. She did tell me that I need to be drinking more water - to the tune of 5 bottles a day! That's a lot of water! I've already been drinking 2 1/2 to 3 and have to go to the bathroom just about once an hour. I can only imagine how frequently I'll need to go if I drink 5 bottles. I'm not sure I'd make it through a flight if I do that. So, I'm going to drink as much as I can while I'm on the ground and limit my intake a little before flights. I think I had about 4 to 4 1/2 bottles on Friday and I had to go all.the.time! She also told me that I should probably fit in another meal during the day, possibly even 2. I've still been eating about the same portion size for meals, but my snacks in between have gotten a little bigger. I'll have to make sure and start packing 2 lunches I guess, lol!
 
There's not much else to report on. We've just been doing our normal day to day stuff - work, sleep, & eat. I do have to go in the nursery and just look at it at least once a day, lol. I absolutely love the way it turned out and it is definitely my favorite room in the house!
 
Here's my mid-week/ 33 1/2 week photo:
 

 
We've had a busy weekend - our Sunday school class went on an overnight trip Friday evening through Saturday afternoon - so I'm going to keep this post short. I do have pictures to post from my showers and also this past weekend. Hopefully I'll be able to get those posts done in the next couple of days. I hope everyone had a great weekend and Happy Father's Day to all the dad's out there!

~Before (Office) & After (Nursery)~

Ok, what you've all been waiting for...... pictures of the mostly finished nursery!!! We don't have anything on the walls yet and I'm still working on the bookshelf & finishing touches on the table, but this is what we have so far. A huge thank you to my wonderful mother who made the bedding and my awesome hubby for the hard work he did on painting the walls!

Here is the office before:

 ~Please ignore the clutteredness (is that a word?!?) of the bookshelf & closet

~And yes, that is a golfing Santa on the top shelf (he's been there for a couple of years...)




And the nursery after pictures:

 I feel so much better now that it is mostly done. I absolutely LOVE the way it turned out and can't wait to put little Wyndon in there!

Best Moment This Week: Getting the nursery done! (still have a little organizing to go, but it's pretty much finished, yay!)

There isn't really much new to report on this week, except that I feel like my belly gets bigger each day. I look in the mirror and think, "I'm pretty sure I (actually Wyndon) grew overnight!" lol! I also saw a new second digit on the scale that I've never seen before... I know with this whole pregnancy thing it is normal to gain weight, but it is so weird to look at the scale and see such a large number. It almost doesn't really feel like I've gained that much, other than the increasing difficulty in reaching my feet or getting out of breath so much easier, lol.  

This week we (technically Wyatt) have just been trying to get the painting in the nursery finished because my mom was bringing over the crib and changing table Thursday. I am so happy with how it turned out! I just going in there and look at it and feel how smooth the walls are. I am going to do a separate post on the before (office) and after (nursery) once we take some pictures of the nursery (hopefully in the next couple of days). In the meantime, here is a picture I took of the finished walls:

I must say, my husband did an excellent job, especially since this was his first time!

I had my first shower Thursday evening and my second today. That will also be a separate post (I have to get the pictures first). We are so thankful for all the wonderful gifts we have gotten!

Oh, I almost forgot my mid-week/ 32 1/2 week pic:

I hope everyone has a good weekend and don't forget to check back for the finished nursery post!

Best Moment This Week: The first coat of 'paint' in the nursery is done and second coat is started! Can't wait to see it finished!!!

We had our 32 week appointment on Wednesday. The nurse said I didn't gain any weight, but I know I did! I told her my scales at home said I had and I noticed when we were there 2 weeks ago that their scale was off (it wasn't on zero with nothing on it) so I'm sure that skewed my weight from that visit. We got to hear his heartbeat again :) and she said everything sounded just perfect. We go back in 2 weeks and then it will be every week! Where has the time gone?!? I keep thinking, "This is June and I'm due in July.... oh-my-goodness!" Lol!

The doctor did think I might have or be getting a bladder infection, so she went ahead and wrote me a prescription and send me down to the lab to give a sample. I had already squeezed out what I could to give my doctor's office a sample, so I was thinking there's no way I can give another right now! I told Wyatt he could go ahead and go to work 'cause I was going to have to drink some water before I could pee again. It's a good thing he didn't wait on me because I think it was like 30-45 minutes until I felt like I could go! While I was waiting & drinking the bottle of water the lab lady gave me, she actually called thinking I had left my insurance card. I told her that I was still there... lol! When I finally felt like I could go, I went back and of course missed the cup with part of it. It was pretty sad how little was in the cup, but my doctor had told me they didn't need much of a sample. So, I put it in the little door thing and hoped it was enough!

I worked on Saturday (one of the last for a while!) and Wyatt got started taking everything out of the office so we can turn it into the nursery. He got the primer done and then we went to Lowe's to get the 'paint' Saturday evening. We were both so excited to see how it was going to look that he went ahead and started the first coat when we got home. He was only able to get one of the small walls done, but I was already happy with our decision on the 'paint'. Over the next few days, he got the rest of the first coat done. Thursday evening he got that same little wall's second coat on and I CAN'T wait to see how it looks when it's completely finished!!! 

For Memorial Day, we went over to our friend's house. There were 3 other couples there as well and everyone brought their own meat to grill. We had a fun time visiting and hanging out. It was kinda funny because each couple had a baby - there were actually 2 of us pregnant too! I think everyone was not looking forward to having to go to work on Tuesday though.

Here's my mid-week/31 1/2 week picture:

Other than having a short, busy week, nothing else is really new. Oh, I think we might be getting a little 'parenting' preparation.... Wyatt came home from work about a week ago to find one of our dogs was sick and had left a very smelly mess (#2) all over the kitchen floor. He got it cleaned up before I got home (thank goodness) and he took the dog we thought was sick (Chase) to the vet on Saturday. We thought it was Chase because he had some of it stuck in his hair on his rear-endy. We had to put him in the bathtub and wash his back half to get it all out. The vet gave us some stuff to give him and special canned food to feed him. Then yesterday morning, we found another such mess (much smaller) on the rug in the living room. Also when I went to pack up the dog's kennels to go to AR this weekend, I found another such mess in Chloe's kennel. So, we gave her a bath last night and noticed Chase had more stuck in his rear-endy hair. So back to the bathtub with him. What was so funny was Wyatt pulled out the latex gloves he uses for painting to clean the dog! Then again this morning when he had to clean up another small mess. He said something about using the gloves when he has to change Wyndon's diapers. I thought that was so funny! I will definitely have to be sure and get a picture of it if that is the case (& make sure we are stocked up on latex gloves)!

Hope everyone has a great rest of the weekend!
