I am happy to report that there was a lot of progress made on Olivia's room this weekend. I got to begin Saturday with a pre-natal massage, thanks to Kris who got me one for Mother's Day. I was finally able to use it and it was so worth it. I realized during this massage that my body pillow, which I stole from Kris, was pretty flimsy and the trick to sleeping more comfortably would be buying a new body pillow. What a difference!
Next, we went on a hunt for a dresser for the little one's bedroom. The crib we bought does not have a matching dresser so we decided to try and find one that would serve the purpose we needed but would still look nice with the crib. We believe we have found what we want. We agreed that the damage that a small child will do to a piece of furniture is pretty risky, so we'll go with low cost now and eventually get her a nice bedroom set. The dresser we found is at Target and we'll be buying that soon and putting it togther. I say "we" but we all know who is really putting it together. I just get to point my finger and watch.
After the dresser search we were off to see our little lady during a 3D sonogram. We scheduled it for 1:30. I don't think I was thinking clearly because I know that that is her quiet time. We got to Peek-a-Belly and sure enough our little lady was wrapped up in a tight little ball fast asleep. We tried everything! We ate spicy food and a coke before we went, we drank OJ, ate a cookie, played her Kings of Leon (her favorite music) and poked and prodded. She wouldn't have any of it! We left the place with a CD of about 10 pictures. Luckily we get to go back on Friday and try again. This time we'll be going later in the day. She loves to stretch out in the evening so hopefully that will be better.
On Sunday Kris decided to attempt the crib! I can't wait to post pictures of it! The room looks awesome. We won't be posting pictures until it is completely finished. The crib,bedding and glider/ottoman all look so perfect in the room. Now we just walk into it and look around. We are so amazed that this room will be our daughter's room. We ordered a wall decal that is a beautiful tree that we will be putting up too. I know we still have 10 weeks to go and that that is a lot of time but doesn't feel that long.

10 weeks is nothing! As the day got closer, I started to feel so panicky and wished I had done even more to prepare. So it's a good thing you're getting things done while you have a little energy. I was 30 weeks at your wedding, which make sense since our due dates were/are practically the same and you've been married a year. So...Happy Anniversary! I can't wait to see the nursery! Crazy thinking it's YOUR CHILD'S room, huh?
