Ben's home!

Ben and his dad went to Vail to visit Tom (his brother) for a long weekend. They left on Thursday and came home yesterday afternoon. They had a great time, other than some bad luck on a mountain bike ride...but Ben said it was beautiful there right now. He also said that it would be extremely boring for a pregnant woman (no biking, horseback riding, climbing, drinking, etc) :)
I'm just glad he's home! We missed him.

Madison and I stayed here and hung out in the rain. It has literally rained here everyday for at least a week...I think even longer. I went and ate sushi with Memrie, Claire & Jill on Friday night and then went to Emily Scott's engagement party Saturday night with Beth, Sarah & Memrie. It was fun and good to see Emily.

Nothing much has been happening...just getting bigger everyday!

More baby room

This is the lamp that was in mine and James' room when we were babies and the cross-stich of the prayer was also in my room.


Teresa brought Ben's baby rocking chair yesterday and is bringing a baby picture of Ben too so we can add it to the room. I will send more pictures later as we add more!

Baby Room Pictures

Finally, some pictures of the baby's room!

Weekend

We had a very productive weekend! Ben finished up painting the baby's room Friday night and then Sunday we got the room all arranged.
My mom and dad came and brought the rocker/glider and took back my old bed. Then Ben and I sucessfully assembled the crib, under Madison's watchful eye of course.
I will post some pictures later this week.

I go to the doctor tomorrow for a checkup. Not excited about stepping on the scale....

Final class!

Last night we had our final childbirth class. They had a little "competition" with the guys to see what team could successfully change their babies diapers the fastest and Ben's team won! It was really funny...this was Ben's first diaper changing experience, and he did good (even if he did hold it by one arm at one point and leave the gown over the babies face for an extended amount of time...) ;)
I didn't take my camera, so I had to steal this picture from another girls blog who was in our class.

Progress

We had a very productive weekend here. Saturday afternoon I taped off the new nursery and went to buy the paint and supplies. Then yesterday after church, Ben got to painting! It looks so good. I can't wait to pull the tape off and get everything in it's place now :) Sounds like a good project for this weekend.
I will try to post some pictures of the new paint later on, but it might be hard to see. The color is a very pale shade of light green...like really, really pale. It's name is "soft reflection". LOL.
Everything else is going great. Baby H is really in motion now and it is so fun to feel heshe moving all around!

Saturday Night at the Chi-O House

Here is a better picture of us in front of the Chi-O house late Saturday night.

It's Natalie, Katie, Jill, Lain & Susan in the back and Sarah, Claire, Beth, Lauren (aka 'the bachelorette') & me in the front.
