I was 25 weeks on Monday...only 15 more weeks to go!! Give or take. I had another Dr's appointment on Tuesday and she said I am measuring a little big. I talked to my friend Kelly who is having her 2nd baby 2 weeks before me, and she said she is measuring big this time and did last time with her son Jack...and she had him a week early. So here is to hoping I don't go longer then 40 weeks...a little shorter will be welcome! Like I have said before...if I could just have an exact date...or at least a 5 day window, life would be so much easier and stress free.
Jimmy and I still haven't figured out names yet. Well of course I have the ones I love, he just says he doesn't like them. The other night though I did finally get some type of commitment out of him. He said by Nov 30th we'd have a name picked out, one for a boy and one for a girl. So we'll see...I am going to try my best to hold him to that!
Thank goodness it is all ready Thursday, because I am beat. Had a long night last night refereeing and need a weekend to do nothing. And I have just that! This is the only weekend between now and Christmas where we don't have any type of plans!! Of course there are some things that need to be done around the house, but nothing pressing and nothing that will take tons of time. So I can relax, catch up on some TV and get things done when I want to get them done without any worries.
Tonight we went on our OB Hospital Tour. There was a group of 8 of us. We got to see the labor and delivery wing of the hospital and find out everything that they had there and everything that we need to bring etc. A lot to think about! We also found out that room we check into when we get to the hospital is the same room that we will stay in and have the baby (unless a c-section is required) and then we will move to another room for the rest of the stay. We got to see the nursery with all of the little babies...how cute! We saw one little girl who was just 7 hours old...so adorable! I can't believe that in a little over 3 months, we will have a baby that is all ours and they actually let us take him or her home...scary!! I think this whole thing is becoming more and more real by the day!
Finally here is the long awaited Belly Pic - Here I am last week 24 weeks and a few odd days...growing every day. I can't believe that I have 3 more months of getting bigger ahead of me! (this was early in the morning...no makeup ;))
We are almost done the nursery. We have about 4 more pieces of molding to go up and then I need to get curtains and a curtain rod and we are set. Decorating wise anyway. We won't have furniture for a while, since we registered for everything. Though we do have an awesome glider recliner that my parents bought us (which is currently in 2 pieces in our living room, so the dogs won't make it theirs :)). The recliner might soon become my bed, since I am having a lot of trouble sleeping. Here are some pictures of the nursery...in progress.
Here are the taped walls all measured and marked out ready for the colored stripes!
Here are some pictures of the painted orange and yellow stripes :)
My best friend Meghan came over to help me paint the stripes. They looked a little alarming in the beginning since the colors were so bright with the blue tape, but once we got the tape off and the white shown through, it looked a lot better. And it looks even better now with some of the molding up and the trim and doors painted. We also painted the back inside of the bookshelf that we are keeping in the room. You can see a little bit of the bookcase in the bottom of the one picture.
So the basement...well Bob our contractor finished up all of the electric, plumbing and stud work last Friday. He didn't come and do any work this week as he needed to go and work on another job he has. And since we are in no dire hurry to get everything done we were fine with that. So he is scheduled to come back the Monday after Thanksgiving to start on the drywall and duct work. Then after that is completed, he will move on to the doors and then he will be done!
Next all Jimmy and I will have to do is, put up floor molding, paint, install outlet covers, put in the toilet and sink in the bathroom and work on the wet bar. Those items will probably take us at least a month or so do to, since it will just be us and we will have to buy the items we need piece by piece and since the work up to now has drained our savings and we still have Christmas presents to buy...things will go a little slower after Bob is done. But that is ok. Just as long as we have a livable space with carpeting by the time the baby arrives we will be set!
Ok...off to bed. Need to get some more sleep tonight then I did last night.
Hopefully by the end of the weekend I will have some finalized pics of the Nursery, complete with all of the molding, curtains and blinds :) oh and the comfy chair too!
Until then...
Adios :)

It is so amazing how big you get! I have been measuring right on schedule maybe even a little small and every time I look at my belly I think how BIG it is and it cannot get any bigger but I know it will continue growing for the next 3 months.
Try a pillow between your legs to help you sleep. I was having trouble sleeping because I could not get comfortable but this helped.
I am glad everything is going great.
Oh you are SO CUTE!
Great job on the painting too - we did stripes in our bedroom and all that taping was SUCH A PAIN. Can't wait to see pics of the finished product :)
Carrie you look WONDERFUL! And I'm in love with the nursery. I can't imagine how annoying taping must have been, but the results are certainly worth it. It looks great!!!
Hope things are going well and you have a great Thanksgiving :)
