Long time no write...

I know, it's been ages since we've updated. We have been so busy but are happy to say that it looks like we can pretty much enjoy the next 6+/- weeks.
Highlights of the past 2+ weeks:
  • I fainted when getting a plaster cast of my torso done. Mark and Janelle caught me, but not before I bruised my tailbone. More on this later.
  • The nursery is painted and painted and painted. Wow. What a task. We went all out and did two colours, three including trim and chair rail. We are really happy with the end result. I took pictures of before, during and after. I'll post them later.
  • I saw the specialist again on April 9th and my fluid levels were normal. Yahoo! The baby weighed 4lbs 8oz, which should make her around 5.5 lbs this week.
  • I saw my family doctor on Wednesday (April 15) and I've gained 7 lbs in the past 2 weeks alone. Yikes. My total so far is now 32 lbs.
  • My fingers are so swollen that I can't get my rings off anymore.
  • My mom came out for the weekend and was a wonderful help. We are ready for this baby! We have everything we need except for a diaper pail, diaper bag and some baby hygiene stuff (you know, things like nail clippers, thermometer etc.)
  • We have started pre-natal classes every Wedneday.

We still aren't any closer to picking a name. Any suggestions? We are stuck!! We promise to post some pictures ASAP. We've got a bunch, but life has been busy. Everyone tells us to get used to it! We are so excited to meet this little one!!
