Ready and waiting....

So the nursesry is DONE!!! Here is another look, though not much different than the last ones other than that we added my grandparents rocking chair. It matches our furniture nearly perfectly.

As we mentioned, Aaron and I spent an entire afternoon registering at Babies'R'Us a couple of weeks ago. It was very overwhelming, yet still so much fun.

Today, I went to see Dr. Suba for a check-up. I also had to drink the disgusting glucose drink to then have my blood drawn and checked for gestational diabetes. No matter what anyone tells you, that red drink is NOT anything like any "fruit punch" I've ever tasted! UGH!!! However, Jackson and I are both doing great, according to Dr. Suba. Jackson's heartbeat was in the 150's, which is just right for a baby boy.

It is hard to believe that we will now start seeing the doctor every 2 weeks! I've been growing and growing, so much so that my belly button has finally flattened out. Here is my "belly picture" from week 28. As you can see, Jackson is sitting VERY high, usually in my ribs (or at least it feels like it), but I'm not complaining, I absolutley LOVE feeling and watching him move!

Jackson is also going to start is "formal" education next week as I start back to school. With budget cuts in progress across the district looks like Jackson and I will be meeting about 170 new friends on Tuesday! Hopefully, Jackson will sleep and I'll be able to stay awake!

More Nursery

Tonight we hung letters spelling out Jackson's name above his crib. We also hung the boat pictures that match the boats from the bedding. Here is what it looks like all together.

Nursery

This weekend has been a lot of fun for us. Aaron finished all the touch-up painting in the nursery and we went and picked up our furniture. Once we got all the furniture together and in the room, we put the new bedding in the crib. We think that Jackson will love it. I have attached pictures of the room with furniture and some close ups of the bedding.

As this is my last "free" week before school starts, we are going to register at Babies R'Us and Target on Wednesday. So look for us on the registries after that.

So much fun stuff is going on and we can't believe that we are only about 3 months from meeting our little man! The count down is on....

Fresh Paint

This week we (when I say we, I mean Aaron) have been painting Jackson's room. The room went from 4 white walls to 2 kaki and 2 red walls in just a week. Thank you to Behr Paint and Primer (we highly reccommend)!

Here are the before pictures from the room.

Now for the after photos, we still have some touch-ups to do this week. Then we are planning to go get the furniture this weekend.

As far as Jackson goes, he has been really moving and grooving the past couple of weeks. We watched him move across my belly for the first time which was fun. He really moves when I lay still, yet has been moving more and more. I went to see the doctor last Thursday, everything was perfect. I will do a glucose test next time to check for gestational diabetes, then I will start going to see the doctor every 2 weeks, time is going by so fast and we are ready to meet our little boy.

More picture of the room to come after the weekend.
