Building a Nest

This past Tuesday I went for another doctor's appointment at 31 weeks. (Did I mention I go every 2 weeks now?) After what I wrote about in my last post, I was expecting to have gained at least 2-3 lbs in 2 weeks time, if not more. Amazingly, during the 2 weeks when I slacked a bit on my healthy eating, I didn't gain a thing! Figure that one out.

I've been working over the last week or two on getting Baby C's bedroom ready (and the rest of the house, for that matter). I guess you could say the "nesting" instincts have kicked in.  :)  The crib is set up and drawers in the dresser and storage cubes are all cleared out, ready for his things. He actually has quite a few clothes already - plenty to last him through the newborn size and into 3 months, thanks to Breanna for all of Carter's hand-me-downs and the little outfits that Grandma Cindy and Great Aunt Laura already bought for him. I still have a few things to do before the room is finished, but when it is I'll post a picture. Oh, and I also assembled a bookshelf in our bedroom for all of the books that used to be in the storage cubes. It looks good. I'm rather proud of how much I've been able to organize and fit into our apartment.

Tomorrow Matt's sister, Laura, is throwing me a baby shower over at their dad's house. I gave her about 10 names of people I wanted to invite, and she invited a few of their family friends. I don't know who can make it or not, or who all was even invited for that matter, so it will be a surprise. My mom and my friend Courtney are coming up tomorrow morning from HHI to come to the shower and spend the night. It should be a fun weekend... I'm excited.  :)  I'll be sure to post some pictures next week...
