I really need to make it a point to post here more often....it's been over a month! Oops. The time is just flying by, it's hard to believe it's mid-September already. As October nears I get more excited and nervous at the same time. October is going to be a super busy month for us. I signed up for every baby class available and most are in October. I'm taking the free classes available on base and also classes through the hospital. Birthing class, lamaze, infant CPR, etc, etc. Hubby sometimes laughs at me when I tell him what I'm making him go to next but I figure it'll do nothing but help. Friends and family have given us some great advice but we have a ton to learn.
The one thing that we have gotten accomplished is the nursery. I am not a patient person. A friend graciously volunteered to help pick up the furniture and helped hubby carry it all inside. There was no way I could look at those boxes for more than 24 hours....I wanted to immediately put it all together. It only took us probably 2 weeks and the nursery is done for the most part. The only thing we need is the mattress, sheets/bedding, and maybe a couple pictures/paintings. We have the furniture set up, got a bookcase, shelving for the walls, curtains, and a lamp for above the glider. I LOVE it!
We went to get a 3D ultrasound about 2 weeks ago and I ended up leaving in tears. She was facing towards my back and didn't show us her face at all. All the lady could do was verify that she was indeed a girl. We caught a little of her profile but that was it. I know she's going to do what she wants in there and there's no way to change that but I wanted to see her so bad. I was expecting it to be perfect and was just disappointed that it wasn't. We went back for a re-do session yesterday and it WAS perfect!! Maybe she's trying to teach me patience.... As soon as the lady started we saw her face. We got a lot of face pictures and even saw her arm and leg. It looked like she was holding her little foot up near her head....so cute. Towards the end of the 10-15 minute appointment she decided we'd seen enough and she rolled over. I want to cry every time I look at the pictures we have, and this time it's tears of happiness. It's just so incredible to know that I'm growing a little girl in there. I'm getting so excited to meet her.....the countdown has begun. <3
