Our niece Kaelyn Ruth

Dave and I went to visit our new niece on Wednesday. She is beautiful and such a good baby! Dave and I couldn't get enough of her and she made us even more excited to have our little Moira here. We are also very excited for Kaelyn and Moira to meet each other and hopefully become good friends!! Nathan has been such a good big brother and loves helping his mom and his little sister!! We can't wait to see her again soon!!

Bedding and nursery decor!!

On Monday while I was in Michigan, my mom and I went to IKEA and I finally decided on the bedding and decor for Moira's room! YAY!! I was so excited and happy to finally get it done!!

This is the bedding only in pink.

We got the gingham pillow and it matches a heart on the bedding

We got this towel because it matches too!!:)

We got these fitted sheets in light green, light blue, and pink.

I liked that the fitted sheets came in packs of two, so we got six fitted crib sheets! That way we will have enough to start with in case she wets the bed or whatever. I will probably get a few more packs of them too!!
We got a few other things too!! We got so much more for our money going to IKEA instead of Target or BRU.
I love the bedding and everything else. It's whimsical!! I like that it matches, but it doesn't. It isn't too much pink, just in the bedding and the rest of it has greens, blues, reds, etc. I think we are going to paint the walls pale green and the trim a cream color. I can't wait to get it all. My mom still has to send it all out to me.

update....

So, Moira's room is pretty much cleared out. There are a few things left in there that we just need to move down to the basement. We have our electrician friend coming over in about a week and a half to give us an estimate. We need to have that done, then work on redoing the crappy walls. Once those two things are done, we can redo the closet, get a rug, paint the walls, and then hopefully start putting it together! YAY! I am so excited!

Feeling her kick lots at certain times of the day, but not all day long. Sometimes I get a little nervous, but then she moves or kicks and I feel all better!!
That's about it for now. I am going to help Dave correct some papers for school!

Glucose test

I had my glucose test yesterday. Dave took the day off and came with me. I had no idea if it would be bad or whatever. It wasn't too bad. I did start to feel lightheaded and started getting a headache because I was so hungry! I hadn't eaten anything yet.
I got the results this afternoon and my numbers were good and I passed!! Yay!! No 3 hour test or gestational diabetes to worry about! She did say my iron was a little low, so more red meat and leafy greens. I have no problem with that!:)
That's about it from here!!
