Ginger and Bella's Christmas

After many Christmas' of watching my parents dog excitedly open her presents, this year Jason and I thought we would see if our dog's have the same talent!

Bella's obsession for food paid off in this instance, she did pretty well!

Ginger on the other hand tried for a couple of seconds and then waited us to get the bone out for her!With all of the snow we recieved on Christmas, Jason spent a lot of time outside shoveling so we could get in and out of our driveway.

Nursery Update!!

So since Jessica promised pictures, I guess it's up to me to deliver. ;) I was able to get our new baby furniture together over the past couple of days and it looks awesome!! We had to wait a LONG time for it to actually arrive, but now that it's in the room it just makes the reality that our little girl will be here before we know it hit home that much more. We got a dresser/changing table and a 4-in-1 crib (it will convert to other types of beds as she gets older). About 4 hours and roughly 15,000 turns of a screwdriver later - viola! Baby furniture! Check it out...

Here are a couple of "in progress" shots that Jess took of me building the furniture.

You might notice that option #2 from our blog poll on what colors to use in the baby room turned out to be the big winner. Pink better be this girl's favorite color because she's going to be seeing a ton of it as she grows up. :)

We've still got lots of things to do before our little one arrives, but for now we are definitely glad to have the room painted and the furniture put together. Those were huge steps. Now it's just time to take care of the little details...and complete her wardrobe (great...).

Finally, here's the latest baby bump picture that we took this morning. Doesn't Jess look amazing?!

Week 32 and more tests

We are currently in our 32 week and things are going as well as can be. This Monday (and every Monday after this) I will be going to the Doctor for a biophysical profile. With the 2-vessel cord, the biggest concern is that the pregnancy will result in a still-birth and from here until the end is where the risk is the greatest. The biophysical profile will measure a lot of different things with the baby (and me) and if we pass than the risk of still-birth drops to a 2-3% until the next appointment. If we don't pass, then our baby will most likely be delivered early. As uncomfortable as I have been the past couple of weeks, I am not ready for the little one to make her appearance yet. On that note, the nursery is almost finished. The painting is done, we just need to finish putting the furniture together. We promise to have pictures posted by the end of the weekend!

Week 30

I can't believe we are already at week 30. This baby is going to be here before we know it! Time is flying by and it is weird to think that in 2 months it is no longer going to be just Jason and I. We are going to have to change our focus and add a little one into the mix! This past weekend we started painting the nursery and yesterday we picked up our furniture! We should be done painting and the furniture put together by the end of the week (fingers crossed), once we get to that point we will post pictures.

I have another doctors appointment in an hour, it should be a quick one. Next ultrasound is in 2 weeks.
