Jude's Room In Progress

Here's a couple of pictures of the nursery. The top of the wall is going to be blue and white stripes with two gray pen stripes on the white part- probably hard to imagine! But I think it's going to turn out really cute. We're also going to put up chair rail molding up. Hopefully it won't take us too long to get everything done! I'm ready to start moving the furniture in and getting everything set up for our little boy!

No More Work!

I have officially been off work for a week now. It's been so nice staying at home. I've definitely kept really busy. I've got half of the baby's room painted and a lot of other stuff done around the house. We've had a lot of people in and out of the house fixing things! Last week we had a guy here fixing our fireplace and another man doing measurements for our new carpet. Today a plumber is here fixing our toilet and garbage disposal. These are all things that have needed to be done for a while- but when working full time it's hard to schedule it all. It's a relief to have it all done and things working properly again!
Kyle and I have been rushing around trying to get the house organized and in order before Jude comes. We have just about 3 months left. I know these next few months are just going to fly by. I don't think I'm going to regret taking this time off work in order to get these things done.

Let The Birthing Begin!

Kyle and I went to our first birthing class tonight! It was actually really fun. We mainly went in with the idea that we were going for the "experience", but I think this class is going to be so helpful. Just knowing that I have done everything to prepare for labor will help set my mind at ease. I think this class will also help Kyle feel more included in all of this. He even learned some good breathing techniques tonight- although, I think we both felt a little silly. The greatest part tonight was just doing this with Kyle. He can make anything fun. I felt like a little kid at times- trying to hold in my laughs... Especially when we had to close our eyes and concentrate on breathing. It was hard to be serious when all I could think about was Kyle exhaling on the back of my neck! All in all, we had such a fun night.
