We're Winding Down!

We are about to cross the finish line! Here is an update of where we are now.

The nursery is up and in working order. I think it looks awesome. Sadly the whole 'decorating' aspect of anything is totally lost on me. So its still a little bare and will probably stay that way. But at least it's not pink anymore!

Incase you forgot... here is the before picture:

Nice, right?

And now to present the after pictures:

My mom came up and did all of the wallpaper. So THANK YOU MOM! Daniel did the paint and helped me rearrange the furniture like 10 times in order to satisfy my nutty 'fung-shwey' obsession, that apparently only shows up in nurseries.

I'm really happy with it. Kid won't even care or notice, but still- I like it :-)

Pregnancy update:

- He dropped about 2 weeks ago. So I am carrying super low now. I love it though because I can breathe! I swear I hadn't had a decent yawn in 8 months! Then all of a sudden I could yawn! Oh it was a glorious day!

- At my 34 week apt. he measured 36-37 weeks. Resulting in the mention of the terrible 'c' word. Yes, my doctor basically told me to prepare for a c-section because of his size. This is something Daniel and I want to avoid at ALL costs. However, we still think that we'll be able to do this as naturally as possible.

- I can't sit to save my life. He doesn't like to be squished :-)

- I have been dang sick going on 5 days. It's like I am regressing. It's like my morning sickness is back but sadly enough my true friend has let me down . We've been through a lot together in the past 10 or so years. Never has she led me to believe she wouldn't be there, helping me. It was always a comfort when I had her bottle with me 24-7. I felt safe just knowing she was there. Yes, I took 2 zofran and it did nothing to alleviate my sickness. It was a sad day. So I've been trying to force things down. Yucky, I just feel so yucky.

- However, in other- better news, I think because of my sickness my swelling has gone down! I kind of have a shape in my legs and feet. It's not all the way gone, not even close. But at least when I walk it doesn't giggle and I can move my toes!

- Daniel and I have basically put me on bed rest because we have pretty crappy insurance right now and come May 14th we'll have awesome insurance through the air force. So I am really taking it easy. He's just gotta last until the 14th.

- I don't know much. I've never been pregnant before. I never knew what it would feel like. I've asked as many questions as I know how. But in the end I will have a different experience than everyone else. And I think he is coming in May. None of this June 2nd crap. I personally think that he isn't HUGE, they just got my due date wrong. So right now I believe I am 39 weeks, not 37. But we'll see. I may be wrong. Who knows.

I think that's about it as far as updates go. This is what's going on in our world!

My visiting teacher recently threw me a small baby shower. I was too sick to stay long at all, but a lady in the ward made me the cutest jungle cake. So I wanted to show off her talent.

It was a banana cake and the monkeys were tootsie-rolls! SO YUMMY! Sometimes I get a little obsessed with cakes and decorating them. But mainly I think cake decorating should be left to Duff from Ace of Cakes. It's nice to see that anyone can do it!

Look how cute it is?!

Daniel couldn't wait to eat it :-) Do you see the torn leaf and the big finger print in it? Hehehe, and people think I don't have any kids!
