30 Weeks!

We've hit 30 weeks! Only 10 more to go....as David would say 'we're in the final quarter!' We're still in the process of picking out names. We've narrowed it down, but final decisions still haven't been made. We're waiting on the furniture to be delivered, which should be here in the next 3-5 weeks. Marissa spent some time today updating registries so that there is more to choose from at Babies R Us. Apparently our registries didn't provide enough choices. What can we say, we're new at this! Marissa passed the 3 hour glucose test with flying colors! She is seeing the doctor every 2 weeks. So far everything is looking good! We're really looking forward to the arrival of this little one, but hoping it doesn't happen anytime before July 24 as we've been placed 2 hours north for our 'summer jobs' for 6 weeks. David worked for this program last year and we've both jumped on board this summer. We're excited for the opportunity and think it'll be a very adventurous summer! No worries though, we've got emergency baby plans in place 'just in case'!

We forgot to take the 28 week picture, but the good news is -- we're now taking pics every 2 weeks!

Paint and Curtains!

Before

After



NEW CURTAINS!

The nursery has been painted a light blue color (It's hard to see in the pictures) and the curtains have been hung! We can't wait to get the furniture in so that we can really start putting this room together. A BIG Thank you goes out to Marissa's parents for all of the labor involved in this project! We are so grateful to have such a wonderful family.

New belly pictures will be posted soon as we come up on week 28. As an update on how the pregnancy is going, we can sum it up in one word -- great! We will start to see the Dr. every 2 weeks starting this week. Marissa is feeling well and has only experienced minor discomfort with heartburn. It's starting to get a little more difficult to get up from laying down. The belly is definitely feeling heavier! She did, unfortunately fail the glucose screen and has to go back for another (and longer) test to make sure she doesn't have gestational diabetes. We are pretty positive we will get a passing grade on this next test!

Our school years are quickly coming to an end and we are looking forward to a rather interesting summer! More on our summer adventures to come soon! :)
