We are exactly a month away from Nico being considered "full term" at 37 weeks! Yesterday our countdown until August 10th hit the big 5-0! I know these last 7 weeks will fly by!
Work continues to be a challenge each week with more fatigue and physical aches and pains. I've become very whiney to David at home but try to keep my complaining to a minimum otherwise! I have woken up a few mornings this week and seriously questioned how I was going to make it through another day, much less possibly 6-7 more weeks! The ankles are still looking attractive, as you can see!
We went to a Baby Care class last Wednesday which was very informative! There were a lot of helpful tips and all of the basics were covered- bathing and umbilical cord/circumcision care, diapering, feeding, swaddling, when to call your doctor, etc etc. It was nice to touch on the necessary expectations and tasks since neither of us have been around babies and are clueless!
We made a couple fun additions to his room: the baseball rug, bookshelf, clock, and photo frame! I'm in love with his room!
We are close to having the room officially complete! There are just a few more details that are left!
Today was a special day because it was my work shower! It was actually supposed to be a dual shower, but my coworker's wife went into labor this morning!
We had a lot of food! Taco salad/nacho type food, veggies, fruit, and the cutest cupcakes!
It was so thoughtful of my work to throw a shower for us! We got a couple hooded towels, books, clothes, blankets, bath stuff, a shopping cart cover, and a bottle warmer that plugs into the car. Very nice stuff!
I love Nico's room -- it's so cute. I can't wait to come over and see it.
ReplyDeleteThe cupcakes at your shower look yummy!!!!!

What a great idea this blog is! I feel like I had my kiddos in the dark ages compared to this cool technology.
ReplyDeleteJessica, you look GREAT, I have seen many a huge baby bump in my day and yours, my girl, is not even close. Continue to perservere, the prize at the end is soooo worth the journey.
David, since I am sure that it was you who designed and decorated the adorable nursery, you did a FABULOUS job! The HGTV is really paying off! In all seriousness, the nursery could not be cuter. Keep treating that wife like a queen, she deserves it! Great seeing you last night, it was just what I needed to keep me from losing it!
