Some Progress!!

Over the past month Jeremy has been working really hard to get some projects done before the baby gets here.  Things are actually coming together and I'm so excited!!  The main focus has been in our laundry room/bathroom and the baby's room.  The laundry room/bathroom was gutted to the studs and is now full-functioning:-) though there still are things to be done.  The baby's room has a new window and fresh paint.   I don't have pictures of the bathroom yet, I want a few more things to get done before I post pictures of that but here are a few of the baby's room.  Mom and I worked today on the tree decal and mom washed and ironed the bedding and we made up the crib.  Thanks for all your help mom!  

32 Weeks!!

Wow, I’m 32 weeks pregnant and only have 8 weeks left to go!  Crazy.  My doctor appointments have been going well and everything seems to be on track.   A few weeks ago, I had my one hour glucose test and failed.   They want the result to be under 130 and I was at 158.  So I had to go in for a three hour test.  During the three hours, I had blood drawn 4 times.  My biggest concern was that I was going to faint while have blood taken since I’ve done that in the past.  But I made it through without passing out…thank goodness!!  During the three hours, my mom was there to keep me company and made the time go by pretty fast.  I also brought Hunter’s baby book and started filling it out.  Yesterday the nurse called to say my results were normal, yea!

Jeremy and I will start birthing classes this week, don’t know about Jeremy but I’m pretty excitedJ  I’ve been feeling pretty good except for my allergies that kicked in over the weekend.  I keep myself entertained by watching Hunter move around.  At night, he really puts on a good showJ  Cole was able to see my tummy moving the other day and thought it was pretty cool.

Bow and his new toy

Last week I came home from work to find Jeremy and Bow in the backyard with a “new” toy.  A huge Frisbee that was probably a neighbor kids and it ended up in our backyard.  Now it’s Bow’s and he loves it!  Since it was an overcast day, no shadows were being cast when the Frisbee was in flight, forcing Bow to pay attention to the Frisbee.  For those that don’ t know, Bow is obsessed with shadows and glares and could play with them all day.  But that day he was focused on the Frisbee and was trying to catch it in the air.  His hard work paid off and he started to catch it in the air!  Jeremy and I were very proud of himJ  The sad thing, is the Frisbee is so big, he has trouble picking it up and bringing it back.  Here is a video of Bow in action.

Easter

Here are some photos from our Easter Celebration.  My camera died halfway through the day and I didn't get any pictures at Jeremy's parents house:-(  It also died before I could get any pictures of Andy, Jeremy Graber and Grandma.

Bow loves his Towels

I have four towels that have become "Bow's Towels".  I use them to dry him off and clean his paws on raining days and after showers.  He knows that they are his and will carry them around the house and lay on them.  A few weeks ago I washed the towels and placed them in the kitchen, next to the door to be used on the next raining day.  They sat there for about week without being touched.  One day I was on the computer and Bow comes up to the front room with one of the towels, walked past me and jumped in his chair with it.  It cracked me up and I wished I would have seen him get the towel off the counter.  About 10 minutes later, he leaves the room and comes back with another towel from the stack!  He did the same thing, walked by me and laid down with the towel.  I knew there were a few more towels so the next time he left the room, I grabbed my phone to record him getting the towel.  Below is Bow "caught in the act".  He was so gentle getting the towel off the counter.  Cracked me up!!

Sorry it's so blurry.  Notice at the end of the video how "smiley" Bow is about his capture.

I had the back door open b/c it was a nice day and Bow can go in and out of the house.  When I went to shut the door, I found one of his towels had made its outside.  

Full Closet and Visit with Wes

Over the past few weeks, I've been adding to Hunters baby stash with the help of my mom, Malinda, grandma, my friend Kimberly and Diane.  His closet is getting pretty full!  We don't have a dresser yet, but when we do, a lot of the clothes hanging in the closet will be put in drawers.  Take a look:-)

Today Malinda and Wes came in town.  I haven't seen them since February so I was happy spend a few hours with them.  Also, Bow got to meet his newest baby cousin for the first time.  Bow didn't seem phased by Wes.  Bow just smelled around and then kept to himself by playing with his toys.  Though when Wes "tooted", Bow did hear him and stared at him for a minute trying to figure out what the noise was.  Made me and Mom laugh!  It will probably take Wes another month to recognize Bow.  But before we know it, they will be buds:-)

Bedding

It didn't take too long to choose the bedding for Hunter's room. I spent a night searching the internet for puppy and nature themes. I found one puppy theme and a few nature themes and then had Jeremy narrow them down and we were left with Kidsline Willow Organic.

I love it and can't wait to start working on getting the room together.  The only store around town that I can find who carries Willow in stock is Burlington Coat Factory but they don't have all the fun matching items, so I'll have to find those online.  I have found a few vendors on Etsy that make super cute items to match, so I'll hit them up too:-)

Proud big brother Bow and the bedding 

Last Friday I took Bow to get groomed for the Spring.  He was starting to look like a homeless dog but the ladies at Empire Pets work wonders on him and make him look like a big puppy!
