Baby update!!

For all of you who may want an update on our recent visit to Labor and Delivery. I had a small scare at work on Sunday. I had to call my doctor from work around 8:00am. When she heard my symptoms she sent me down stairs to L&D to have the baby put on a monitor to make sure everything was OK. Luckily I work only 7 floors up from L&D so it was extremely easy for me to check in and comfortable since they are all familiar faces. (Since I work in the neonatal ICU I get to see these nurses quite often.) Jonathan and I only had to spend a few hours there before going home with some surprising news that I had probably passed a kidney stone - most relieving since that meant there was nothing wrong with our sweet baby who never stopped kicking me the entire morning!! I rested for the remainder of Sunday at home and wasn't allowed to lift a finger. Jonathan is already a great dad! He even went to the grocery for me because he knew I would want to go on Monday! We visited the doctor's office Monday and got some clarification and reassurance. The baby weighs 3 pounds and 2 oz. and has lots of hair already!! We won't post any picts. of the sono. because he/she would only look at my spine, not the camera. We are very grateful that God protected our baby and that it is all over! Thanks to all of you who lifted up a prayer. I felt very calm the entire time and never really panicked. God's peace is a wonderful gift. Hope everyone feels updated now. Any guesses to what color this head of hair might be!!??

Green Green and More Green!

Green is the color!! If you don't like green, you won't like our nursery or the wardrobe of our little one for about the 1st 3 months! Since it's my FAVORITE color, it really hasn't bothered me much to not be preparing in either blue or pink for our surprise. Once again we were blessed this past week by my mom's visit. We shopped, sewed, and had a girls day with the luxuries of lunch followed by manicures and pedicures! We (meaning mostly my mom) finished all the bedding for the nursery in ONE day. Although the day lasted 14 hours! We teamed up and made a bed skirt and bumper from fabric I've had for 3 years (I'm not a planner at all!). Even Jonathan joined in on the fun and made the bulletin board with ribbon, fabric, and of course, DUCK TAPE!!!!! Hey, it works! It really was a blessing spending the time with my most precious mom and hearing her birth stories of Heather and me and learning some of her grandparents that I always hear about but never got to know. Our relationships really are precious gifts from God! Here's a few picts to capture the week. Enjoy.
