So the nursery is coming along quite nicely, and I am really excited to see how it will turn out!  We have almost everything drawn on the wall and will start painting tomorrow.  I have a couple of friends coming over later in the week to help, so hopefully we will be able to get it all done by the end of the week!  I think it is going to look AWESOME!!!  I love that we own our house and can do whatever we want with it.  And I am quite proud of the work that we have done ourselves ... now we can add painting murals to the list of things we can do.  All I can say is that this kid better love animals, and even if he doesn't he will have to live with them until he moves out on his own. :)  Not really, because we don't plan to live here more than a few more years ..... but I am already thinking about how sad it would be for the next owners to paint over all of our hard work!  I can't wait to post pictures when we are done so you all can see what I am talking about!

I shopped until I dropped today.  I have been trying to get the last things I need for my hospital bag and am having no luck!  So frustrating.  I was also trying to find clothes for the pictures we are having taken on Thursday - I totally scored on shirts for Rudy at Old Navy!  Great sales, plus 10% off for using my credit card today.  Sweet!  I found a couple things for myself at the Gap ... so I think we are all good for pictures.  I hope they turn out good!  Rudy is very photogenic and I .... am not.  Especially when it comes to "posing" for pictures.  The photographer is awesome though, so hopefully he will work some magic.

I am going to the doctor Thursday morning and can't wait to see if I have started dilating yet!  I can't believe we are due in 3 weeks .... that seems nuts.  We still need to shop for a few things that we will need right away, but I don't want to bring anymore stuff into this house until the nursery is put back together.  We get one day of 10% off our registry so I want to make sure we get everything all in one day too.  10% isn't much, but every little bit helps!

Well that's about all ..... I have to work in the morning.  Only 2 more weeks of work!  And I am hardly working the next 2 weeks.  I am so ready for a break from it.  If the baby hasn't come, I am going to try to work a couple hours that last week so that it won't count toward my maternity leave.  I want as much time with the baby as possible.  I can't believe all the holidays are coming so quickly!  Thanksgiving is my favorite!  I am so glad I won't be pregnant anymore so there will be plenty of room in my stomach and I can have a glass of wine!
