Painting baby's room

Even though Jason was sick this weekend, he wanted to make sure that one of our "to do" list items got done -- painting the baby's room. I taped and he painted. This picture was taken right afterward, so we haven't cleaned up, done anything else to decorate, or put the furniture in, but I wanted to share the color. We love it! We took one of the polka dot sheets for the crib to the store and matched it. The rest of the bedding are shades of this color and blues, with stripes and polka dots. Also, we bought a glider for the baby's room this weekend!

Thanksgiving

Jason and I spent Thanksgiving in Houston. Jason was fighting a bad cold, so the weekend included a lot of eating, reading, sleeping, and watching movies, which is JUST FINE! We cooked a big dinner for Thanksgiving and pretty much lived on the leftovers all weekend. Isn't that what Thanksgiving is all about??

End of Second Trimester Pic

Wow -things have changed! At this point, I'm 27 weeks along. I've put on about 15 pounds, and switched from running to walking a couple months ago. The baby moves A LOT. And, this is the absolute last time I wore that sports bra, as it was quite a commotion trying to get in and out of it. I was trying to be consistent for the sake of pictures, but no more. (ugh!)

Baby Shower in STL

On Sunday, some great family members and friends (Aunt Therese, Theresa, Aunt Leslie, Lindsay and Gail)threw me/us a baby shower. It was a beautiful event! My parents were able to come to town, too, and it was their first time seeing me being pregnant (Dad seeing me the day we told him doesn't count, since I wasn't showing). Jason's grandparents were able to come in from Pittsburgh, too. Every chance I got to let a family member feel the baby kicking, I tried! And it was great to see some friends I haven't seen in a while (Rebecca, Sue, Beth).
