Valentine's Day Weekend

Adam and I decided to take advantage of the long weekend and head down to
DuBois to spend the weekend with his parents. We figured with the baby on the way, it may be our last chance to get down there. His parents live in the middle of nowhere and it's really peaceful to be out there and see all the animals. The turkey and the deer were out all weekend long.
Of course just because we went south doesn't mean the snow stopped. Chloe enjoyed playing outside, watching the animals, and laying out the feed with grandpa.





After a healthy and HUGE dinner, Fred and I decided to compare who had the bigger belly. I think I win. :)
With less than 2 months to go, things are starting to become "real." I've been blessed with such a great pregnancy. Hopefully I'm not speaking too soon. I only hope the birth and the days at home are equally as easy. I have a Dr.'s appointment today. They are just checking the heartbeat. The heartbeat has been so varied I still have no guess as to what we're having. Adam and I are still leaning towards girl. And, if this is a girl, it will be the first girl in his family in over 60 years. PLUS, I know my step-mom Kathy is wishing and hoping for a girl. With all those boys, who can blame her. We'll know soon enough.

The Crib and Rocker




So Adam and I got particularly motivated and decided to put the crib together. Luckily, when I got home, he and his brother Rich had already picked up our items. (I was afraid we would have to battle the 5 o'clock traffic.) They not only picked up the crib, but got our rocking chair as well. We were in need of the truck and with all the snow, this is really the first chance we had to go pick it up without ruining the fabric. So, we got them both up and running in what is going to be the nursery but with the large bed that is in there (in anticipation of our families visiting when the baby gets here) there isn't a whole lot of room for anything else. In all honesty, it's making me a little crazy, AND if we knew what it was we could paint, but I really am excited for the surprise.

The crib assembly was made even more fun by the fact that daddy has no use of his right arm as he did something to his shoulder playing football on Sunday. Better now than in 3 months when the baby gets here I say.
