Ready for Annalee!

We are ready for Annalee on all fronts now! Only about 6 more weeks to go! Her room is done, well minus a few details. (Erin is making a lampshade for her and I am making lampshades for the chandelier, we need a small nightstand, we need to hang the letters and the sheep mobile and buy a mattress!). My dad worked so hard for a week on the room. It was a treat for him to do all the filling, calking, priming and painting as well!!!! I was ready to kneel down with my big belly and paint but I didn't have to this time. I am also proud of myself and I am going to brag on the curtains I made for the room. I have never done a big project like this and it was HARD and I was so frustrated (just ask Jay!) but they look awesome and were worth the effort. Thanks to Shelby for her tips on how to do it the correct way!




Also, at my checkup last week everything looked right on for 32 weeks. I'll be 34 weeks on Monday, so not much longer. The doc said I could have an induction again since I did so well the first time, and it may either be on April 13th or April 20th (the due date). Nothing is set in stone, they'll have to check my cervix and do an ultrasound to make sure the baby is big enough in order to have her early (the 13th). The reason it would be one of these days is because that is when our favorite doc, Dr. Ayres is on call. Also this time I will not have to spend the night in the hospital and do the cervadil, but just go in early AM and start the pitocin. Their goal is for me to have an 8.4 lb baby or under (that is what MK weighed), but of course not too small. None of this is for sure because we'll have to check everything again closer in and I could also go into labor on my own anytime before 39/40 weeks. I guess we should get a mattress for the crib! MK is set to go stay at my parents' house during the arrival of Annalee. We are soooooooooo excited!!!!

ps-I have been "nesting" like no other....I have put up curtains in the living/dining room and our bedroom, organzied various drawers/closets, made an Easter tree, bought the girls matching Easter baskets (for years to come), made MK and Annalee matching dresses (will post when they are "correctly" done) and have washed and ironed all the baby clothes and hung them in order. Crazy lady!
