Hello again..well we're almost 33 weeks along..just 3 more weeks of progesterone shots, A MEN! They really haven't been too bad..kinda painful, but we women are no strangers to pain, right?! Definitely a small price to pay for the peace of mind...
I'm feeling pretty good now that we have most of the baby essentials, but haven't set up the nursery yet as we had a housemate occupying that space.. :-/ He just left yesterday (yay!) so I will now be focused on that (aka "nesting" my little heart out :).. We plan to keep baby in our room for the first several months so there is no huge rush...not to mention that not knowing the sex makes it really hard to decorate a nursery...right...
So, YES, since the Dr. has ordered limited activites and I've been out of work, I've definitely been going a little stir crazy...I do spend as much time possible in the bed resting, but can't imagine having been on strict bedrest this whole time...I did for a week with the last pregnancy and that was really hard..I'm so grateful that wasn't necessary and am praying the rest of the pregnancy continues to go as smoothly..
I just finished a Beth Moore ladies' bible study on the book of Esther...it was AMAZING! I highly recommend doing one if you haven't already. This was the second bible study I've done (the first Beth Moore one) and WOW I'm already looking forward to the next..
I've also started a picture collage project of our travels. I've used all types of picture frames that we had and bought some more from Garden Ridge (has THE best selection :) I plan to hang them along the hallway and staircase walls. I will also be adding family pics especially once we get some of the new baby!
ALSO (drum roll please :) Here is a picture of the baby afghan that I just finished crocheting today! Since we don't know the sex I picked yarn with blue, pink and yellow in it.. I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out...especially considering it is the first piece I've ever done (patting myself on the back :) Who'd ever thought I would end up crocheting?? LOL!
Here is a belly shot I took today..eat your heart out! ;-D 'Til next time...Happy Thanksgiving everyone! XOXO
