Making Room!

We're about to enter week 21! Which means we are more than half-way! In just over 4 months, the little one will be here, and my nesting instincts have started to kick in. Well, I will pretend that it was nesting, and not procrastination for a final exam. Which is in about 4 hours....

So new babies need space, and while Chris and I still are not sure what the future holds I can still pretend that this room right next to ours will be hers, and give it to the time and attention that she deserves! Of course, her bedroom was once the spare room. Which means her closet.....was a disaster as many spare room closets are full of things that are rarely touched and mostly forgotten. It is times like these where I truly miss having a basement! These are also times when I wonder....we could do some damage if we went shopping...in New Zealand. And we could have one hell of a poker tournament with our three different sets of poker chips. Oh, and if anyone likes cigars, can you give some to us, because an empty humidor is pointless!

After many hours of work, and frequent requests that Chris lift something heavy...she has her own space! Her closet is pretty bare except for some books, a few outfits, her mommy and daddy's stuffed bear and monkey (the bear was my grandpa's and the monkey was his grandma's). And of course the intimidating emotionless lamb from Uncle Erik and Aunt Heather (which by the way, I'm not sure if your brother has sent you the message, but thank you so much for our package!)

You can also see that Nana took me to IKEA and we got a very spiffy door organizer! Right now it is full of little toys, but if you look closely, you can get a glimpse of the bump in the mirror! It also has a detachable hamper and so many pockets which will come in handy as it will be right next to the changing table :)

Oh and just so you have a close-up of the lovely frame that was sent by Uncle Erik and Aunt Heather.....
And if you do not get the skeletor or alien reference, you have no been paying attention to the blog. Question though...which one of us is big foot?...I wear a size 6 and so does Chris....I think.

The baby is doing well. She's been kicking and dancing and I'm constantly hungry! In the next week or two she should hit the 1 pound mark, if you can believe it! She'll just be packing on the pounds for the next couples months. Right now she's the size of a cantaloupe. And now I want cantaloupe....yup, I'm hungry again. Grazing on fruit is one of my favorite past times. Ask Chris. Really, constant watermelon and grapes. Thank goodness this is summer-time!

Oh, and I will leave you with one final image...a warning to Uncle Erik. Apparently just the scent of you on the box was enough to send Caden into a violent rage. I caught the box's destruction on video. Warning: All materials were actually harmed during the making of this video.
