29 Week Update

We made progress on the baby room! It now has been completely cleaned out, carpet cleaned, stripes painted, closet organizer in place and the crib is set up. Its come a long way but there is still a lot to be done. The dresser has been on back order but should be here by the end of the month and then we can really see how we want to arrange things. I had a picture in my mind of how it would all look but once we got the crib in, the room started looking very small. Who knew something so small would need a bed so big! We are really happy with the choices we have made so far. The paint turned out better than we expected and we are happy we decided against painting everything all one color. Our walls are already a nice cream color which matches the bedding perfectly so we just added two horizontal stripes around the room to match the brown and green colors. Grandpa and Karl set up the crib and we thought about putting Ella in to test it out but she was not interested. As of today, this baby has a place to sleep but that's all! Most of our free time has been spent working on the room but this weekend we are heading home to WI for a family reunion and our first baby shower. I'm so excited to see my family! Unfortunately my dad is out of town and we can only stay for the weekend but some time is better than no time. I'm a lot bigger since the last time I was home which I think was for Easter so I might surprise everyone. We will be spending tomorrow at the lake so I hope the weather cooperates- apparently we are in the middle of a cold front and its only going to be 70.... yuck. Sunday is my baby shower so I will get to see a lot of friends and family.

Here is an update on the belly at 28 weeks from my beautiful friend Sharon's wedding last Saturday. Yes... that's the same dress from the last wedding but its the only one that fits and now it no longer does. It was almost a crisis on Saturday! Sharon and Pat had a very beautiful wedding and you just can't go wrong with all those men in uniform. Pat is a naval aviator, Top Gun style!

More pictures to come on the baby room and the shower after this weekend.
