For years you were wished for
We finally got the nursery most of the way done. At least now the baby has a place to sleep. Finn thinks the room is great and loves to run and jump on the bed so he can look out the window. We were excited to have the baby shower recently. Grandma Ruth and Auntie Lisa hosted the party. We had a good time visiting with friends and family (including my Mom (Grandma Thorne), and Aunties Marcy and Darshan all the way from Watsonville.) Grandma Thorne made the baby a beautiful quilt that is sure to be a favorite. I wish it was bigger so I could sleep with it!
And even though we are having a boy you can never have too many shoes. They are so stinkin' cute. Can't wait to see them on his tiny feet!
Well, it's official. I had a doctor appointment today and my blood pressure was a little high so I'm officially off work. I'm 32 weeks and 6 days today. Holy cow, it has gone so fast. I keep thinking that I have more time until the baby gets here but it really is just around the corner. I'm not really looking forward to the birthing process (I'm a big chicken when it comes to pain) but I can't wait to meet our little boy. He is so active! Tossing, turning and hiccuping! The hiccups are really cute and Frank gets to enjoy them as well when my belly goes bump...bump...bump. I'm also looking forward to being able to sleep on my back and stomach again! My back and hips are killing. Oh, the joys of pregnancy. So, now I have a bit more time to get things ready at home. I might just have to vacuum.....might.
aken with my phone.
We've had a few requests for pictures of the nursery. It is still a work in progress. There is a LOT of finish work left to do, but this is what we have up to now.
Ray (Frank's dad) was out to help Frank yesterday and they got a lot done. They were able to finish installing the crown moulding, the beadboard, the beadboard cap, the baseboards, and they encased the window.
This is the (unfinished) window. 
This is the corner where you can see that the beadboard ends and the regular painted wall begins. You can also see the crown and the blue yet cloudy sky.
blog that I figured the I would put some more recent photos up. Marcy (Kim's sister) and her husband Jay had the chance to come and spend about a week with us in July. We took the opportunity to get a 4D ultrasound done while they were here. It is amazing to see what the baby looks like! The ultrasound was scheduled to take 20-30 minutes but about 10 minutes in he covered his head and rolled over...so all we could see was the back of his head. He is in the wrong family to be camera shy!
Well, it's official. Frank and I are expecting a baby in early November!!! Only 35 weeks to go! We are so excited! We feel very blessed that it was so easy for us to conceive and hope that is a sign for how well the rest of the pregnancy (and delivery!) will go. We are thrilled to welcome the first grand baby to both sides of our family. It is going to be one spoiled baby as both Grandmas are planning already. I have been lucky to have only some fairly mild/moderate nausea and fatigue to deal with. I now travel everywhere with Saltines and find myself falling asleep any time I sit down. Now I have a very good reason to go shopping and Frank doesn't mind going out to look at cribs. We see the doctor every 4 weeks and can't wait until our next visit when we should get to hear the heartbeat! Very exciting times for the Ellett family!
