6 Weeks and Counting...down!

This week I will be 34 weeks pregnant. Still feeling pretty good overall ..just feeling more comfortable sitting as opposed to standing a lot :) We toured the hospital a couple of weeks ago and it made everything so much more real! Steve's family came to visit last weekend and it was fun to see them. This weekend my mom is here visiting. My friends here threw a shower for Baby Henry yesterday - it was so much fun! We've been working hard at putting the nursery together and I think it's looking pretty good! Take a peek...check out the awesome fish paintings that our friend Rachel made to match the bedding. Thanks Rachel! We are planning to put his name above his bed once Lil' Buddy (as we call him) arrives - you will just have to wait on that because it's a SURPRISE!

Ten Weeks and Counting...

I know it's been awhile since I've updated the big blog! The past couple of weeks have been pretty busy for us. I went to Michigan for 11 days to be in my childhood friend Heather's wedding - and Steve went to camp in Florida with the high school students from our church. I was bummed that I wasn't able to attend this year, but grateful that I could be there for my friend Heather's wedding festivities! Steve left camp early to fly up to MI to attend the wedding, and then my parents threw us an awesome baby shower in their backyard. It was such a beautiful day, and we had so much fun catching up with about 60 of our family and friends. I even got to see some of my favorite college people :) Loved it.

Steve is such a handyman - so grateful for this! He's been working hard on the nursery these past few weeks. I wanted to post some pics for you all to see. He and our friend Tim started it off by putting up the beadboard. It really turned out great! Next was painting, and then came the furniture! Oh, not to forget that Steve put in a new ceiling fan. The old one was about to fall out of the ceiling. Poor Steve had to climb into the 140 degree temperature in the attic a number of times to try and fix the problem. He was drenched in sweat - it looks good now though! :)










This week I will be 31 weeks. Hard to believe. Feeling pretty good overall - just a bit more tired :) I still love lemonade and any summer fruits. Here's a couple of recent belly pics:
