Mike's shining moment........

After months of complaining, Mike has finally done something blog-worthy. He put the crib together this weekend!! It looks fantastic. A picture of the finished product can be seen below. In all reality, Mike has been amazing and is very blog-worthy. He cooks, cleans, helps me organize baby stuff, massages my feet/legs/back, comes baby shopping with me (without complaining).....etc. I am so lucky to have him by my side during this journey because there is no way I could do it without him, and no better person that I would rather do this with. I think I fall in love with him more and more each day and am looking forward to seeing him hold our baby girl. If he is half the father that he is husband, then Baby J is one lucky lady........



The nursery is coming together. The crib, dresser/changer, and bookshelf are all up and starting to get filled with baby stuff. While Mike was putting together the crib, I did 8 loads of laundry......yes 8 and I see that as being a trend once the little one joins our life. I organized all the stuff that was laying around and had a mini-freak out at the lack of clothes we had, so I went shopping today. I spent far too much on very few items. Mike seems to think that I want her to dress better than me..........that's partly true. I would like her to be dressed on par with me :-) We bought her "coming home" outfit. It is now the most expensive piece of clothing that she owns. Here it is:



Pregnancy wise I am feeling pretty good. I am still a bit tired and Baby J likes to kick my ribs, but other than that everything is going really well. I am still walking or making it to the gym, and am still fitting into a size 2 (do you hate me yet???). The only issue I am having is that my allergies have been horrible the past couple of weeks. I have tried everything and it seems like NOTHING WORKS (I've tried Allegra, Benadryl, the Neti Pot, Claritin...etc) I am not sleeping much at all during the night and Mike loves that I sneeze on him and sniffle in his ear. I am miserable and ready for the first frost to make all the yuck in the air go away.

Off to finish watching the "Press Your Luck" marathon on Game Show Network. Mike laughs at my love of game shows, but I come from a long line of game show watchers (thanks grandma/grandpa/mom). I hope I can pass it down to Baby J.............Mike is scared.
