Third Trimester Begins

Wow, I can't believe we are in the third trimester already! Even though it feels like we are never going to meet our baby girl, it is definitely flying by!

Here is a snapshot of what has been going on in our world.
-I failed the gestational diabetes test and had to take the three hour miserable test, which I passed!
-We've decided to not name the baby until we see her. We have a few names that are our favorites but will not make the final decision until we see her little face!
-I've entered the uncomfortable phase - achy hips wake me up in the night and my sciatica flares up after days when I'm at my computer all day.
-No, we don't have the nursery ready. The only thing we have set up is the crib and bedding. We are waiting to see what we get from both baby showers and will go from there. Can you believe I've been so good and only bought one baby outfit?!

Getting Ready for Baby P

We are lucky enough to have two baby showers: one in Las Vegas and one in San Diego. Both will be held in June and have made me realize we need to start getting things in order. Trying to figure out what to add to a baby registry is hard! We live in a 2 bedroom apartment with hardly any storage space so we don't want too much crap but we know there are some larger items that we need. The registries are stressful to say the least! I think we've finally narrowed down the lists but then again I'm very indecisive these days.

The nursery will eventually be where Paul's office/man-cave is now. It is currently filled with a large desk and computer, a keyboard and guitar, a bed, and signed Star Wars autographs and a light saber (all of which must come down!). A lot of work has to be done - and yes, I realize we do have 3 months until she arrives.

All of you know my favorite color has always been purple. So it should come as no surprise that Little Missy's room will decorated in purples (and some green for daddy). I had a breakdown over bedding because all of the bedding we both liked and agreed on was out of stock or unavailable. Finally, we found a set and just got the email that it has shipped! WHEW!
