We have been trying to get some things done around the house in preparation for the new addition that is to come. :) A few weeks ago, Brian's parents came for the weekend and helped us paint the nursery and recover the glider I got from my Dad! Here are a few pictures to commemorate the events of the weekend!
They got the room all painted and it looks great! It is Dinner Mint Green. We plan to do white furniture and pink/white accents. I will take a picture of the glider when it is all finished up. Janet had to finish the top cushion at home. Thank you Roger and Janet for all your help on these tasks!!
The following weekend Brian and I went shopping for a crib! We found this one at Target and decided it was what we wanted! Brian and I put it together that night. Marlon I think is starting to realize something is about to change and he was getting pretty nervous this night. He kept wanting me to hold him!
I am pretty pleased with our purchase. Now to get a changing table and a dresser or some type of organizer I could maybe put in the closet with drawers. Annnnd of course bedding for the crib which is the challenge right now. I just can't find a bedding set that I like. I may end up making it instead. I could just pick out fabrics I like and go from there. We will see.
Sorry I do not have a belly picture right now. But I assure you it is growing everyday! I will take one next week when I am 27 weeks. Can you believe it? 27 weeks already! Time is going by so fast...
We started Prepared Childbirth classes last week. It will be pretty interesting. I have learned quite a bit already. Let me share one interesting fact with you: you dilate to 10cm before you are ready to bring the child into the world. Here is the instructors analogy. 1cm = a cheerio & 10cm = a bagel. Imagine that one! Anyway, we still have 4 more classes - I am really looking forward to them and learning more about what I am about to experience in 3 short months.
On another note: My parents got to come visit a couple weeks ago! Brian and I shared the amazing food of Tarahumaras mexican restaurant here in Norman with them. They loved it! My Dad is a HUGE mexican food eater and he said it was probably the best food he had. He would probably drive all the way down here just to eat there again - it's that good! We also took a nice long stroll around the OU campus just for fun. It was a good day. I miss my parents so much and enjoy the time I have to spend with them.
I also tried a new recipe last night that my Grandma had found on Pintrest. It was so yummy! I made spaghetti with Meatball Biscuit Bubbles (pictures below) and a veggie. And then I made a yummy peach cobbler (compliments to Clarissa!) Anyway, these meatball bubbles are delicious and super easy to make! I recommend you try them out. Here is the website where you can find the recipe (http://kathiecooks.blogspot.com/2010/08/meatball-bubble-biscuits.html).
I am sure there are many other things for me to update on since it has been so long, but this will do for now. Hopefully I can keep up with this blog more often now!
