Nick's Nesting!!!

Nick decided two weeks before our due date that all the floors needed to be redone! He didn't want the baby sleeping in the room with old carpet so both bedrooms needed to be replaced. Once the carpet got replaced he decided that tile needed to be put in the bathroom and kitchen upstairs. He's so funny! I can't wait for him to be a dad. We LOVE our new floors!!! :) Thanks Lynne and Bill for helping us!

39 Weeks

Almost there!

So many people have been calling, texting, emailing, facebooking just to check in and let us know that they are thinking of us. So nice!

A group of teacher's at the high school told Nick that they have rallied together to make sure that we have the first 6 nights of homecooked meals covered when the baby comes home from the hospital so that we don't have to worry about cooking. Sometimes I am amazed at how thoughtful people are! :)

Shower #4

We had our final shower at Sarah and Mirek's house. It was great...just girls and the boys went golfing. Sarah arranged for a morning brunch shower because we had a wedding to go to that evening. Just like Sarah, she pulled out all the stops. She had the most yummy breakfast foods, punches (some spiked for those that could drink), she had a watermelon fruit dish that was shaped like a baby carriage. There were also the most delicious cupcakes. We played all the fun baby shower games; guess the smeared chocolate bar in the diaper, guests had to cut a piece of string that they thought was the size of my belly (Louise guess exact). Another game we played, I had to leave the room and the girls had to write down as many details about me that they could remember (nail color, clothes, etc.). We also got to guess baby pictures (that was really fun).
Of course we got spoiled with wonderful gifts, many of them were personalized which meant even more than normal. It was a great, traditional Canadian baby shower!

Week 36 & 37

We had an ultra sound to check on the baby one last time before delivery. The baby is in position and looking great. She guessed at that point that the baby weighed just over 5 lbs.
Nick and I have purchased and received everything we need for the baby's arrival. I think the only thing left is the chair that we have our eyes on and Nick is planning on getting that next week. We have our bedding picked out and paint picked out so when the baby arrives and we find out what it is we are prepared to have the nursery completed while the baby and I are in the hospital. :)
We are getting so anxious to find out if its a boy or girl!
The Dr. told us on Wednesday that we are now considered "full term" and if I go into labor they will do nothing to stop it...we are in the safe and clear zone. I went for a pedi with Lynne and Lindsey yesterday morning and it was the most amazing treat...spending time with them, while getting a massage from the most amazing massage chair and having my feet rubbed and cared for...just awesome! I am now washing all the baby blankets and newborn clothes so that we are ready for the baby to come home. Can't wait!!! I wish the baby would come sooner than later. :)
