Ok, well a lot has been going on. No baby yet though :(

I'll just kind of go over the last week. Last Tuesday, 9/7, I had my 37 week appointment. I felt so AWFUL the next day - so bad that I went into Labor and Delivery to be checked/monitored. Well of course there was nothing worth keeping me there for so they sent me home. I was literally on the couch through Friday. Good thing I have a laptop to work on!! I was just in a lot of pain and running a fever and had constant headaches. I was completely miserable! I finally started feeling better on Saturday - well enough to walk around Peach Days in Brigham City. I had to go S-L-O-W and it was H-O-T, but it was good to get out.

Shane has been great - work has been slow this week so he has helped me out a lot. He cleaned the house a couple of weeks ago while I was gone and then cleaned the upstairs for me on Friday. Then he left to go to his brother's house for a "surprise." He wouldn't tell me what he was going for but this is what he brought home:

 

Obviously it wasn't painted at all when he brought it home and my swollen, un-pedicured foot is just there to show size (it's HUGE), but when he was cleaning, he decided that Chloe has too many toys and not enough places to put them, so he built a toy chest. He's stenciling little pictures all over it and it's just adorable. I'm very excited to get it in her room and fill it with STUFF. 

Let's see.... I got the baby's room "done" - as done as it's going to get I guess. We don't do themes or specific decor so it's just basic and homey.

 

This is the blanket that Shane's mom crocheted for the baby and the little outfit we will bring him home in. Next is the diaper bag I got (Chloe's was pink and brown...)

 

Shane made the little nightstand next to the crib           I need to find a better cover for the chair, but it's a very comfy rocker!

 

The cabinet he made :) It's also HUGE so we decided to make the top a changing table.

Finally, the bathroom. I begged Shane for weeks to let me paint it and I finally got most of it masked off and he just came in and took over because he knew I would totally screw it up! And I am OK with that!  He wouldn't let me paint this color in the baby's room so it's in the bathroom instead and I love it. It just made the bathroom so clean and crisp. There just seemed to be irreparable damage from the renters so this was perfect.

  

And this, my friends, is the best you will get for a 38 week picture!

Oh, and I can't forget the internet. Shane wanted to make sure I could work anywhere in the house if need be so he hard-wired the internet upstairs and added lines downstairs too. This is the new "docking station" in our utility closet. It works AMAZINGLY!! 

Anyway, sorry for the overload, but that's what's been going on. We should hopefully have a baby in the next two weeks and then Shane's little sister is getting married right after that so I'll be nice and fat in the pictures :)
