Baby's Room

So it has taken Alex and I way longer to get the baby's room set up then we thought it would. And actually the crib isn't quite complete yet because we are missing a few pieces of hardware still. But I really wanted to get some pictures up, so we just set it up with what we have for now and we should get the rest of the hardware from Home Depot this week, hopefully. Painting was crazy. First we put on a primer and then we applied 2 coats of paint, which took forever since you have to wait so many hours between each coat. Then when we tried to pull the tape off, it took a lot of paint off with it. So I had to go back around all of the edges and touch them up very carefully so as not to get paint everywhere. It was ridiculous. Neither of us is ever really wanting to paint again after that experience. Applying the wallpaper strip was another interesting feat. We finally figured out how to put it up and then we ran out with less than 6 feet to go, so I had to order another whole roll. We should be getting the rest of it in the mail tomorrow, so we can finish the cute border soon. Despite all of these things that have held us up, I finally have some pictures to post. I want to thank my Aunt Pam, my Aunt Darcy, and my Nana for contributing to some of the cute things in the baby's room such as the lamp, the mobile, and the hamper. Thank you so much! I love the matching stuff and the room looks so cute and complete with all of those things in it. We just need to get a changing table and then we will be set. So if Delson decides to come early, I will be ready for him. Oh....it feels really good to be prepared.

27 Weeks, Our Home, and Other News

So I am really sorry I have not posted anything on the blog in awhile. Alex and I still do not have internet at our house and so I can only post from work. And we have been super busy getting settled into our new place. We did get moved in over Labor Day weekend with the help of my mom and dad and Del and Daneen. I am so glad that they were able to come and help us because it made the moving in much quicker. The house is great! We love it! I have really enjoyed being able to cook dinner again and I always feel like cooking because my kitchen is so much fun. I will try to post some pictures of the house after this weekend because it is still kind of messy and Alex and I are going to get the baby's room set up tomorrow. I am really excited to get that room done. Then I will feel more prepared for when he is born.

As of 2 days ago, I am officially 27 weeks along. I can't believe how fast the time is going by now. I have less than 3 months until the baby is born! Yikes! And I don't think I have announced it on the blog yet, but Alex and I are pretty sure we are going to name the baby Delson Alexander. So if I use the name Delson, you will know who I am talking about. I had a doctor's appointment on Wednesday, and the doctor said that everything is looking great and I am measuring where I should be. He said that I was hardly showing even though I feel like I am huge. You can decide for yourselves from the picture. Sleeping is getting more uncomfortable, and Delson is constantly moving! But I'm glad to know that everything is going well in there for him. Oh also....I passed my glucose test with flying colors. My blood sugar measured 95 and it is not supposed to be above 140, so I am glad that I have good insulin. And the drink really wasn't that bad. I had the lime drink, so it really just tasted like extra sugary Sprite. I'm relieved to know that I do not have to go back in for the long 4 hour glucose test. :)
