Update=Miss P's Room


We're at 32 weeks but I forgot to Post this photo, mainly because Greg and I have been so busy. He's going to start class on Monday (busy day 10 a.m. till 6 p.m.) Luckily we are walking distance from the university, sadly this means Mondays will be pretty lonely until Miss P gets here. We are less than two months from our due date. Everything looks great. I have to re-do my prenatal blood work because my DC OB office had not sent over my medical records yet as of last week.

Friday I also went to physical therapy for my mid back pain. My new doctor has a physical therapist in house. She was able to almost instantly alleviate my pain with certain stretching exercises. I also joined the local recreation center for the next week so I can use the pool. It helps get the weight off my body (at this point I'm carrying around close to 40 pounds more than I weighed pre-pregnancy).

Here are a few photos of what Miss P's room looks like so far. We got the crib and bedding before my trip to Texas. My mother-in-law, grandmother-in-law and sister-in-law got together for this purchase.
I'm working on a mural in the room based off of a journal I purchased from Urban Outfitters in the spring. I've made a little progress on it but I still have to paint it on another wall. It includes yellow vines and blue birds. I also have blue birds coming for the bird cage in the corner (which remains from our wedding decorations). More updates to come!

Give me MO...

This weekend Greg and I went through what I want to call "New Parent Boot Camp." This consisted of Greg's first visit to meet our new doctor at the Women and Children's Hospital, our all day birth class and hospital tour and putting together Miss P's room and crib. Tonight we round it off with our Infant CPR and healthcare class.

After three weeks of organizing, unpacking and painting Greg and I are finally starting to see the end in sight for our house projects. It has been exhausting, but we have loved it. The only room left to paint is our bedroom which Greg will be working on when I head to Texas later this week. This will also be after his presentation at the Journalism Educator's conference (again so proud of him for getting the student paper award). Below are some photos of our living room, two of our bathrooms, and Miss P's room (where I've started on a mural). Three rooms what we worked on during the past two weeks. Greg has done such a great job painting all these rooms and cleaning up after the painting. I am so grateful to have him to share in this journey with.

Miss P's Room...

Also for those who remember my sorority sister Kara and her baby James Sikes, this week a baby giraffe was born at the Dallas Zoo and they are petitioning to have her named Jamie after James. The form is available on the Dallas Zoo website or click here.
