1-Year Anniversary

Steve and I celebrated our first anniversary this past Sunday (January 20th). We had such a great day with each other. We spent a lot time reflecting on all the exciting and monumental things that have occurred in our lives since we said "I DO". We even followed tradition by taking a ceremonial bite of the top of our wedding cake, which had been wrapped up in our freezer for the past year. I must admit that it was all we could do to swallow one piece, it was pretty terrible! Nevertheless, I feel very lucky to have met and married the man of my dreams and cant wait to celebrate another 75 anniversaries with him!

He is going to be a big one!

Steve and I had our 32 week visit yesterday and everything is progressing wonderfully. My belly is measuring at 34 weeks so my doctor is predicting that Parker will be a big boy or that I may go earlier than my scheduled c section date. At 36 weeks we will get another sonogram to get a more accurate idea of Parker's true size. From there, we may have to make some contingency plans if I go into labor early. The good news is that we are almost out of the "danger zone". The doctor said if Parker made it to 34 weeks than the coast should be pretty clear. Most babies born this early have minor problems. We also got our appointment schedule all the way through post-op which illustrates just how close we are to the big day. I cant wait! I am getting some maternity pictures taken next week despite feeling large and unattractive and I may or may not share them on the blog. We will see. Hope all is well with everyone and until next time...

Parker's Room

My dad came into town this past weekend to help us with Parker's room. Let me start off by noting that there was NO WAY Steve and I could have tackled this job by ourselves. We painted the top half of the room last weekend, which was enough of a challange. The wainscoting is a completely different story. With my dad's expertise and hard work we were able to get everything installed on Saturday and spent Sunday sanding, caulking, and painting. The final coat of paint went on Monday night when we were able to move the furniture into the room, hooray. We are still waiting for our chair and window treatments and plan to add shelving and pictures. It is a pretty blank slate right now, but we are very relieved to have this task behind us. A big THANK YOU goes out to my dad for all he did to make this room possible, we are very lucky to have him!!!

Here are a few pictures of our work in progress......
