Update!!

My mom left on Monday afternoon and we had a really nice visit. Friday we went to the Eric Carle Museum and shopping at Home Depot to spend our gift card on closet shelves, etc. for Moira's room. Saturday was my shower at my in-law's house. It was very nice, relaxing, and laid back. We got some good stuff!! Dave's Aunt, who is also his godmother, really hooked us up. She got us the high chair, a bouncy seat, some blankets, a sleep sack, a diaper pail, and some wipes. We also got the swing we wanted from Dave's sister and brother and families. It is so cute!! Dave's sister had bought it for their daughter and I fell in love with it when I saw it. So, I immediatley changed our swing on our registry!!:o)

Sunday we spent the day working on the baby's room, finishing up some painting, hanging the curtains, and Dave put together the dresser/changing table. There is still some more to do to put the room together, but it is nice to be taking a break from it these past few days.
I am currently sitting on my new birth ball that I just bought at Wal-mart. It is really comfy to just sit on while I am sitting at the computer. I bought a bunch of trial size toiletry stuff to pack for our hospital bag. That feels good to have that ready to go. I want to start getting my bag packed in the next week, just in case. I went to Old Navy too and they are have a big $5 baby sale and I got 6 outfits for Moira for $40. I bought all 3-6 month sizes in case she does come out a little bigger. If she doesn't, the outfits will just be a little big on her!! I also bought some tennis balls that our birth class nurse suggested for massage and to put two of them in a sock.
Last night was our last class and she showed us different massagers and techniques to use during labor, including using our partners for support, and the birth ball. It was a good class.
Last week we had our tour of the L & D floor which was really nice and made it all feel much more real! I do have to get my pictures from the shower on the computer. My plan is to do that tonight.

This weekend, on Saturday, is my last shower with my friends at our neighbor's house. I am looking forward to it!
Hope you all are doing well!

Packages!!

We got home from work today and there were TWO packages from my mom sitting on our porch!! YAY!!! My mommy finally sent the bedding and nursery stuff that we bought at IKEA when I was home a few weeks ago. YAY!!! I told her she had to send it right away because we needed to start thinking about paint and I have to try and match a color for the walls. I am so excited to have it all here with me now. I think this weekend we are going to go and order the crib and changing table/dresser. I can't set them up yet, but having them ordered will make me feel better. I bet by the time we get them, we should be able to set them up. Next weekend our friend is coming to fix the walls with us and then it's painting and getting the closet ready. Then we need to buy a rug for the room and then set it up!! AHHHH!!! It is all becoming so real now!

Ultrasound, etc.

Well, I had my ultrasound on Friday to guesstimate Moira's weight so far. They are measuring me at 32 weeks and I am 30 weeks and guessing her weight to be about 4 lbs 11 oz. Yikes!! My doctor said she could be anywhere from 8-10 pounds at birth depending on when she decides to come.
We'll see, maybe she won't be and I will be OK. Those are just guesstimates, not for sure.
I'll post some pictures of my ultrasound later when I get them scanned.
In 2 weeks our friend is coming to help us fix the walls in the nursery and so hopefully our friend who is an electrician, will be able to come before that to get the light fixtures, etc. in. Today we are running to Lowe's with our gift cards to get a new ceiling fan and a light fixture for the closet. I also want to pick out some light switch plates for the room too.
After the walls are done, then we need to start painting and hopefully we'll be ordering the furniture soon too. Ahhh!!!! So much to do!!

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.
