30 Weeks 6 Days...

Yes, this is how I tell time now. I can't wait for the arrival of our little one. However, I am perfectly content with him saying in there as long as possible. Last weekend we painted most of his room. We will be finishing up today. We finally settled on "Little Boy Blue" from Benjamin Moore. The Natura paint has no odor so, I'm able to help! I am not used to being unable to do things like move furniture, paint, and climb ladders. I was insistent that I must be able to paint the little one's room. Our big task is figuring out how to paint the baseboards without getting paint on the carpet.

Little Boy Blue

Last weekend, one of the hubby's friends came over to help us move some of our larger pieces of furniture. It's nice to start seeing our space in my parent's house take shape. We have moved most of my pre-pregnancy clothes as well as most of our Spring/Summer stuff. We are definitely getting closer to being completely done.

My friends from work had a shower for me on Friday night. I was absolutely wonderful! A coworker and his wife hosted it at their nautically themed house. (They also happen to be parents of one of my former students.) It was wonderful to kick back and enjoy time together away from work. A friend took some pictures so hopefully I'll be able to post those at some point. I was amazed at the generosity and creativity of my coworkers. They really went above and beyond. The hostess made a beautiful diaper cake with argyle diapers as well as three different types of nautical cookies (lighthouses, anchors, and boats). One of the secretaries made chocolate lollipops in the shape of sneakers and others that said "It's a boy!". The woman I share an I office with purchased whisks that said about to hatch as well as body wash and soap. The principal distributed paper boats to everyone on the faculty and staff to write messages to us. I can't wait to see them. At the moment, they are putting them into a little book for us!
