cutest video ever..makes me cry! :)


In other news- went to the Dr. yesterday & baby is making no attempts to come into the world yet! She said that is normal for right now :) He can stay in there as long as he'd like I guess- but I am getting very antsy!! Everything else was going good though. Won't be going back til March 2nd- 37 weeks at that time! Crazy stuff..

Summer time :)

I can't wait for the cabin!! :)

My poll :)

Take time to do my poll ---> on the right side of my page :)

I'm really thinking he is coming early...I am going to be surprised if he comes late! I know with your first most say you don't go early- more so go after your due date. I just think he wants out sooner!!

Noah's room is finished!

Josh, Kara, and I finished Noah's room last night! Josh wants me to mention that he did 90% of the work lol :) He put EVERYTHING together yesterday!!! :) He is pretty awesome! Kara and I finished organizing all the stuff and putting it in it's proper place. I'm so happy it's all finished!! Also, we are so so blessed to have so many wonderful people in our lives. We got so many great gifts yesterday (and at the other 2 showers as well!) We have everything we need for the little guy. Thank you so much to everyone- can't say thank you enough. Noah is one lucky little boy & we are too. We can't wait for him to get here now :)

Also not shown- my dad went to Target yesterday all by himself (which has NEVER happened) He picked out what he wanted to get for me on my registry- (the play yard we wanted) and went to get it before my shower. I cried and had everyone else in tears when I opened it. It was so thoughtful of him. :)

What a great weekend- I feel so blessed love you all!! :)

Jumperoo..

My shower with my friends was last weekend. It was a ton of fun! We got some really cute outfits for Noah. Also, three of my friends went in and got me the rainforest jumperoo I wanted! It's so cute, I was super excited.

This Saturday is my shower with my family- we are running out of dining room space for all of his stuff! We moved into our room now- so his room is empty ready for the carpet to go in! It should come in next monday- so hopefully that will be installed by the end of next week! Then Josh can start putting the crib together and we can get all his stuff in his room finally!! It's nice having things come together. I was worried we wouldn't have it done in time.

Work is pretty stessful right now! I am looking forward to a little time off soon! :)

I have to work in a little bit so just wanted to put a quick post up. Here are some pics from this past Saturday!

The Nesting Instinct

The nesting instinct usually sets in around the fifth month of your pregnancy. Now some may not know what the "nesting instinct" is. This is basically the uncontrollable urge to clean your house, and generally go crazy doing all sorts of things that will prepare the 'nest' for the new member of the family.

This is a primal instinct and all the females of almost every species in the world will go through this same instinct in one way or another. It is also an old wives tale that this is one of the signs that labor is going to set in shortly. Females of the animal kingdom are all equipped with this same need. It is a primal instinct. Just as you see birds making their nests, mothers-to-be do exactly the same thing. The act of nesting puts you in control and gives a sense of accomplishment toward birth. You may become a homebody and want to retreat into the comfort of home and familiar company, like a brooding hen. The nesting urge can also be seen as a sign of the onset of labor when it occurs close to 40 weeks of pregnancy.



At 32 weeks I have fallen under the nesting instinct spell. Today I woke with an urge to clean the house. I swept, mopped, dusted, and wiped down all the surfaces in the kitchen. I cleaned the bathroom (which I don't like to do at ALL) I scrubbed down the cupboards, dusted a second time. Then I cleaned the bookshelf, organized the dvds, books, and Josh's ps3 games. I was just about to vaccum the couches and the pillows but then I realized I needed Josh to be here to haul the vaccum up from the basement. With that said- I am freaking out that I didn't get that done yet. I have never felt such an urge to clean. I'm glad tho- it will be nice to have everything clean once the baby comes. I'm sure March will come and I'll scrub everything down again :)

I have also fallen under the homebody spell. I feel like I need to be home all the time. Which isn't very fun when I'm the only one here. I guess I should be getting out because this is the last time I'll be able to go on errands alone without hauling a little baby with me! :)

Other news- the baby has been moving a lot lately...I've been trying to capture it on video- hopefully I will and I'll post it!! :)

I put our first picture in the scrapbook Meg made us. I can't get over how cute it is! I looked at it for about 10 minutes today :) Meg- I will be begging you to go into business so I can have you make more of them for us :)

I put the first ultrasound we got in it's proper place...ahh I can't wait til we can fill the other pages!
