Well, the picture is a bit blurry (you try balancing that basketball around your waist while holding a camera steady facing a mirror at 7am while doing everything you can to look cute when you are that huge...sorry, I'm a bit defensive) but one thing is clear - the boy is getting bigger!
This was taken just yesterday at 34 weeks, 4 days...we are almost entering our 9th month of pregnancy!
We have kicked it into high gear here at the Spruiell household. Between the belly expanding, the restless nights, the 5 minutes it takes me to squirm up from lying down to sitting up or from sitting to standing, the onset of some early contractions, and kicks we have been receiving from our baby boy, we have certainly started nesting!
First up, the nursery. Even though Amy, Andy, and Grace donated all of their super cute jungle themed nursery gear to us that matched the jungle themed border already up on the baby blue wall in the nursery - I decided I wanted to do a sports theme instead. Mike sighed but decided not to argue with his pregnant wife and began the process of taking down the jungle theme border. Well, that proved VERY difficult after trying almost everything Home Depot offered. Our last resort was to just cover up the border with something more basic. Here he is hard at work:
He just finished the work last weekend and it really looks great! We have all the furniture in place, have started the massive loads of laundry, and have begun putting together the various contraptions that will apparently help our baby sleep and us maintain our sanity (swings, bouncy chairs, etc). Last night, Mike came home with a bassinet and set it up in our room. He also bought some net type things that will protect our baby from the ever curious Toby. I will have to do an entire post about the multitude of things my husband has done to protect our baby from our vicious animals.
This weekend we have our hospital tour on Saturday and our full-day childbirth prep class on Sunday. We also plan on getting the car cleaned, installing the car seat, and hanging pictures up in the baby room. Grandma Lois will be in town to help finish the laundry and "oooh and ahhh" at the nursery and cute baby clothes. Because lets be honest: Mike does all the difficult work while I stand around and comment while folding and refolding baby clothes - because they are so darn cute!
