Wow… I’m 8 months along.  It’s a weird thought.  Sometimes it seems like this pregnancy is taking forever and other times it feels like this journey just began.  I am now at 32 weeks and we had a busy day.  We got our crib and our shelving unit in…so today is the day that we are going to put it together.  We started with the shelving unit and got that put together pretty quickly.  It looks awesome!  I am so excited that we have an IKEA in Cincinnati.  I love IKEA.  They have such fun and trendy stuff at a fairly inexpensive price.  Thanks to Michelle Reynolds…because she spent the day with me and agreed to drive her van so that I could bring the shelving unit home.  It barely fit in her van and definitely would not have fit in our cars.  Plus…I got to spend a wonderful day with a wonderful woman of God.  We left at about 10am and headed out to Cincinnati.  Then we stopped and ate at Applebees and headed to IKEA.  After we explore the amazing store and picked up several things to improve our homes. We began our journey home with a stop off at Starbucks.  Yummy!  (Again…you can see where the 19lbs has come from. )

Well..on Saturday, February 27th Micah and I set-up the shelving unit and the crib.  The crib took about 3 hours to put together.  We of course ran into some problems.  One of the pieces wasn’t cut correctly so Micah had to be Mr. Fixit.  He took a box cutter and shaved down the piece that was too big and we made it work.  You can’t tell unless you take it apart.  He did a fabulous job!  We also got along fairly well.  We only had one little tiff and it was easily resolved.  So we did really well for being highly hormonal and doing a home improvement project at the same time.

After we finished we just enjoyed the fruit of our labor.  Putting these things together definitely helped me feel better about her coming.  I was starting to get nervous about her coming and us not being ready.  I think they call this the beginning stages of “nesting.” So here are some pics to enjoy.  We have the Before and After of the crib, and shelving unit. We haven’t done much more with the room because we may not be in this house for very long.  We are searching for a house to buy, and hope that it won’t be too long before we move.  I’ll have to post more of her room once we get a house. Also…I have also included my 8 month (32 week) belly pic.  We are definitely growing.
