New stuff in Luke's room

Each time I looked in Luke's room I kept feeling like something was missing and I knew it wasn't finished. Mom and Rachael stayed busy in there on Friday trying to get things organized and purchasing last minute items. One thing they came home with was a book shelf; something we really needed for the books Thomas and I have been collecting for Luke. Thomas and I found a lamp to finish it off. The bookself and lamp make the biggest difference! It looks and feels so much better!

Bed Rest

Bed Rest is so hard! :) Here is my company.

Last Day of Work

Its official, tomorrow is my last day of work. At our doctor appointment today my blood pressure was still high and I am still retaining too much fluid. We are 2 weeks and 6 days away from delivery. Now, I will just sit and wait for our little boy to join our family. Anything that it takes!

These fat feet and a raised blood pressure have me in the bed and on the couch after work every day this week. If things don't improve by Monday at my next check-up, I will be on bed rest for good. Keeping our fingers crossed! Still 3 1/2 weeks to go until due date.

Luke's room

I found the bedding for Luke's room after a long online search. Pottery Barn had just what I was looking for-whales. Here are some pictures of his room so far but the pictures don't do it justice. It is much cuter in person . . . so come visit!

pregnancy stages

I am trying to play catch up as I create this blog in my 8th month. Here are some pictures of how my belly has developed over the past few months.

4 1/2 months pregnant-not much to look at but there is definately a baby bump.

5 1/2 months pregnant-a little more round

6 1/2 months pregnant-no doubt about it. . . definately pregnant

7 1/2 months pregnant-wow, and we still have time to grow! Looks like I need to visit the tanning bed also!

8 1/2 months pregnant-can I really get any bigger? still 6 weeks to go!

9 1/2 months pregnant! only 13 days to go until our due date. I wonder if we will make it!

Pregnancy Photos

Here are some pictures we took in our front yard. I was around 31 weeks pregnant.

October

October was a busy month for us... we had our first, second, and third baby shower for Luke. Our first shower was at my sister Rachael's house; the shower was given to us by Rachael, Chris, Christian, Jenny, Patrick and Natalie. We had a blast and so did everyone else there. Here are some pictures from the couples baby shower.
