Avery has a bed!

Just a quick little note to say that we now have a fully-assembled crib for our daughter! Yay! The parts were sitting on the doorstep when I got home yesterday and we put it together last night. So now all we have left to do on the nursery is hang things on the walls. We'll try to remember to take some pictures and include them with a new (and scary!) belly pic next week.

Icy weekend

Well, we are feeling better this week-- alhtough Scott is trying hard not to get my cold now. so far the enormous amounts of fluid and Vitamin C appear to be working for him. We had a nice weekend despite the bad weather and I got a lot of stuff taken care of off the "To do Before Avery comes" list. My weekend was really nice since I had both Friday and today off-- like a mini-vacation. Scott and I even braved the icy weather Saturday night to attend the wedding of one of his dental school classmates. It was a lot of fun to visit with people from dental school and to enjoy a "night on the town" at the Petrolem Club. We keep saying that in the next couple of weeks we have to use of movie gift card and go to Hornets basketball game too. Avery probably weighs close to 6 lbs now and is 20+ inches long. I go back to the doctor next week and after that I start going every week to get checked. It will definately be interesting to see how things unfold over the next few weeks!

"Ralph" and "Sniffles"

These are mine and Scott's new nicknames as we try to recover from food poisoning/stomach virus (Scott) and a cold (me). We both got sick over the weekend, which of course happened to be the weekend that both our parents were in town becasue we had our baby shower at church. The shower was wonderful though and we got tons of stuff for Avery. Now that I'm in my 35th week, she should be around 5 1/2 pounds and maybe 20 inches long or so. Things are getting crowded in there! It seems like everthing is becomming more challenging now and people are looking at me with pity. I can't imagine what they'll be thinking in another few weeks! Oh well, I'm just trying to remember and look forward to the end result!
