This past Sunday officially marked the start of my 3rd trimester. Ryleigh will be here before we know it! It's evident that she's preparing because she's moving constantly! Big movements that I can see too... Just last week at Jade's birthday dinner, she had an opportunity to feel Ryleigh move and she was amazed. It was the first baby kick she experienced - ever!
Last Thursday, my co-workers through me a surprise baby shower. It was so much fun! They had pink balloons, a chocolate cake with bavarian cream and fresh strawberry filling and started a pool on the date of Ryleigh's delivery. I was so taken aback by the number of gifts that they gave me and the support that they showed for Ryleigh, Barry and me. I was very touched! Pictures have not yet been sent to me, but I will post them when I get them.
I know I mentioned potentially buying my breast pump with the gift card my co-workers got me, but after exploring the return policy, I decided instead to buy the pack 'n play :). We now officially have the essentials that we need to bring our new baby home (when she's ready to join us, of course).
This past weekend, we went to a couples shower for our friends Allison and Jason. They received so many cute clothes!!! I can't wait to see what gifts we will get at our upcoming showers :).
Lastly, we have made a lot of progress preparing the house and nursery for Ryleigh's arrival. The yard was cleaned-up today, the stair repairs will be complete tomorrow and the nursery preparations are under-way. The painting is complete and just last night, I created tie-backs for the curtains. I believe that is the last craft I'm going to be able to pull-off... It took me 1 and a half spools of ribbon to create 2 tie-backs :). I'll post nursery pictures as soon as we get the crown molding up and the furniture delivered (due on Thursday)!!
