Waiting for Baby

It has been a few weeks since my last entry, not much new has happened. We are patiently letting time pass waiting for baby. We had a doctor's appointment scheduled for last Wednesday, but when we arrived, the office was closed. We had ice storms in Dallas last week and apparently they thought it was bad enough to close the office that day. A 40 minute drive into Dallas for nothing, oh well. We're headed back tomorrow, which will put me at almost 34 weeks. I have no idea where the time has gone.

I'm still feeling pretty good aside from the common side affects, backpain, leg cramps, restless nights. It's a little more difficult to bend over and tie my shoes, put on socks, pick up Chad's clothes, you name it. (J/K Chad, you'd never do that to your pregnant wife ;) Oh, and I no longer have ankles, well, the ankles I used to have anyway, ha! Overall, I really can't complain.

One development from this weekend was the purchase of our crib for the nursery. The crib we orginally ordered is on backorder and we decided we'd better just go out and get one rather than risk waiting. Even though the baby will sleep in the bassinett for the first couple of months, it's most likely our "nesting" instincts kicking in that make us feel more comfortable having the nursery ready to go. The salesman at Babies R Us predicted it would take Chad just 20 minutes to assemble the crib. That turned out to be a bit of a stretch, it was more like an hour and a half. Thank you Chad, it looks beautiful and is much more sturdy than those cribs at the store that the 20-minute salesman assembled! This weekend we also finished painting the nursery. We still have a few finishing touches to work on over the next couple of weeks. Stay tuned!!!!
