The Nursery

Here are some pictures of Chase's long-fought and well-ended struggle against my incessant and emotional urgings for him assemble the future lodgings of our son and his belongings...

Home Stretch!

I'm 28 weeks now, and turning into more of a creature everyday. Every night as I rub lotion on my belly, Chase stares in awe as if I'm sporting a cancerous tumor, and neither of us can get over the fact that every day I seem like I've doubled in size
I'm leaving in just over a week for my California baby shower, and I absolutely can't wait! It'll be so good to see my friends and family down there. And then, in a few weeks, my shower in Portland will happen, with my mom and sister coming down for a few days to visit and help me plan and prepare for Aiden!
He moves so much now, and you can watch my belly move as he twists and squirms. Sometimes I think the surface of my belly looks like water boiling. That's the best description I can think of!
And - the most exciting update is that we have some of our baby furniture, and began setting it up this last weekend! Thanks to our very kind family on Chase's side, we are finally getting that nursery ready! It's been slow going so far, as I first had to move my office out, and then my sister was in town visiting for the weekend, so we didn't get too far. It's impossible to describe the nesting instincts that kick in for a mother when she has unopened boxes of furniture representing the future of her baby sitting in the living room for days!
The pictures are on Chase's camera, so I'll post the assembly pics in the next couple of days for you all to enjoy. In the meantime, enjoy my 28 week pics!
