6 weeks or less!

I have no idea where the time has gone! We had contemplated one last trip to Chicago before baby, but decided that we had items that needed finished at home. Important and fun stuff like planning/getting supplies for a double birthday party, putting together a crib, setting up the nursery and moving the girl's toys elsewhere, and just general things around the house. Many of these things are little things that I can't do alone (putting crib together and mowing). So, with Josh home we can get it done!

I can't believe it getting so close! It is 6 weeks or less unless I go over which hasn't happened before. We are very excited with how the nursery turned out (see Facebook for photos). There are a few things to tie it all together that we still need to get/find. I have a pretty good idea of the rug that will make the room complete and we still have to get the mattress. It may need a few items to hang on the wall, but I just don't know what yet...

She (baby girl) is jumping around quite often. The name is picked, and I can't wait to see what everyone thinks. We keep it a secret until the birth day. I guess we just think it is fun to keep that a secret and then there is less hassle once baby is born regarding opinion on what you should/shouldn't name them. As usual, we have gone with non-ordinary, but I must say this one is probably the most non-ordinary for both first and middle that we have picked thus far. It is not a name of anyone we know (true to tradition for us), not on any top ten list, not easily guessed, and follows our protocol of endings or at least ending sounds being the same for first and middle. I'm not worried that you have figured it out because yeah...it's different.

We have had a most enjoyable evening together daddy and all of his girls. We enjoyed dinner at none other than Chili's where I got my craving for chips n salsa and buffalo wings satisfied. Yes, spicy is my thing...all of the time! We shopped for party favors and gift ideas, and then we returned home for the crib/nursery work. Actually, it doesn't matter what we do as long as we are all together! I love them!!!!

If weather allows, we have plans for a dip in the pool as well as some fun outside. The humidity has diminished allowing us to breathe easier once more. I can tolerate heat, humidity NOT!
Well, I am tired and have been tired this week so I need some sleep! Not much longer before I won't be getting much of that for awhile.

The Nursery has turned out gorgeous . . . although I had NO doubts about that!

You are right about opinions . . . everyone has them and tend to voice them too easily!

I am quite certain your little jumping bean will definitely be blessed with the names you have chosen!

Hugs and Much Love!
