Almost into the Home Stretch

Wow! So it's been a slight while since I've posted. I have to say I've been pretty busy not to mention by the time I get home I'm exhausted and so I just chill...I finally decided I'd try and give some updates:


I went to the doctor today (I've begun the 2 week appointments) and so far the due date is the same-September 14. My weight is good (about 32 lbs) and my iron and all the other good things they test are all normal. Little Lincoln Jagger (that's what we're calling him these days, although we're still trying out other names as well) is moving a ton. He's a bit of a roller and doesn't kick a ton...I feel like he's a bowling ball sometimes, so I can already tell there's lots of Kalvin (or at least Grandpa) in him:) He's most active in the morning around 5-6AM and then in the afternoons around 4-5, especially during the drive home, and then again later at night when I'm chilling with Tim...


I have taken 2 classes so far...A whirlwind as Tim and I opted for a Fri/Sat Childbirth class instead of the 5 week option and one evening class (which I took last night) for breastfeeding. It was a lot of info. in a short period of time but we're glad we took them. I feel at least a little more prepared!!


The nursery is coming along...We've been blessed by having two families pretty much supply the majority of our swings and furniture. We went with a neon green and a teal blue. So far it's all coming together and this week I'm hoping that the nursery will actually take some shape. We are going to try and put the furniture together and do touch up painting this weekend.


I had a shower last Friday at work and again I've been totally floored by the awesome things my friends gave us. We have lots of clothes, diapers, and baby trinkets as well as the cool baby swing like thing that allows him to feel like he's roaming, but stay in one place...Babies R Us calls it the Exersaucer...so needless to say the nursery is getting full and coming together...On a fun note, Tim wanted to place some rock posters on one of the walls. I was skeptical and wanted to at least view the posters before we started putting them up. One of my girlfriends found a Metallica poster that matched the colors of our room...So at least one wall will have some rock on it:)


Okay for the part you guys are probably going to skip to: Pictures! These were taken over the last few weeks. I will post more as I get batteries for my camera! Much thanks to my mom for capturing these with her phone!
