32 weeks down, 8 to go!

32 weeks

Letting Baby get some sun while watching the puppies :)

Belly looks so funny from this point of view, almost coney! LoL

Oh my goodness, how has time flown by! Baby Girl will be here soon and there is so much left to do. Her room still needs a lot of work, but at least we have all her furniture now. So once the painting is done, and the carpet is either cleaned or replaced by wood flooring (haven't decided what we will do yet), then we just need to move in all her stuff, wash her clothes, and get everything organized. Not that she will be sleeping in there for a few months anyway, but I'd like to have everything ready. We found something to put her bassinet on, which is great! My baby has tons of outfits, but needs onesies and jammies. I also need to go shopping for bath stuff, first aid kit, nail clippers and all that good stuff. Oh, and really need to get my breast pump. I have a few wipees, need to order more diapers, have newborn diapers :), play pen, bathtub, stroller, and carseat. I bought a few jammies for labor day and that I can use to make breastfeeding easier. I just need to get myself organized. Breastfeeding and birthing classes in April, down to one job so I can have more time to get ready, need to clean house from top to bottom, and get Black Dog used to sleeping outside. Whew!!! Thank goodness my Mom will be here in May to help out for a little bit. The plan is to show up a week before my due date, but we will see when my Little Monkey decides to come out. She has been so active and I love it! There are days that I wonder what the heck she's doing in there because I feel kicks and punches in every direction! But those are my favorite moments, when Chris and I just lay there watching her and feeling her :) Soon I'll get to hold her in my arms!

* My Little Pumpkin! I love you so much and can't wait! I'm getting very excited and nervous as we get closer and closer to meeting you! Daddy has been working really hard and long hours lately at the new store, so progress in your room has been slow, but you and I are helping Daddy by painting while he is gone. Here is a little sneak peek to what's been done:

As you can see, we still have the other 3 walls to go, plus finish this one. Everyone says this is for a boy, but Daddy really liked this theme and he thought you would really like it, too. I can promise you that you will have plenty of bright colors to look at :) This last month was Mommy's birthday and Daddy picked out a card and presents from you and him:

You and Daddy bought Mommy a beautiful plant and a funny birthday card with wienies on it! You also convinced Daddy to buy Mommy a Reeses Cup and Ferrero Rocher chocolates! They didn't last long enough for the picture :) Thank you Daddy and Baby Girl!

Here are just some more pictures that were taken this March:
